FAQs

OUR CANDLES:

What are our candles made of?

Soy wax-

Our candles are made of soy wax which is derived from a vegetable (soybeans), a renewable resource, is biodegradable and cleans up very easily with soap and water. This type of candle has a lower melting point than other waxes, this makes it last longer (out candles burn for approximately 40 hours).

Cotton wick-

We use lead-free cotton wicks to make our candles.

100% essential oils-

Our candles are fragranced with high quality natural essential oils. Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants. The unique aromatic compounds give each essential oil its characteristic essence. Essential oils are obtained through distillation or mechanical methods, such as cold pressing. These plant-based oils are often used in aromatherapy, a form of alternative medicine that employs plant extracts to support health and well-being. Each blend was carefully crafted after each Ottawa neighbourhood.
