Yes, fragrance oils are man made scents, and essential oils are derived strictly from nature. Essential oils are generally created from leaves, stems, flowers, seeds, or the roots of a plant.

It is important to note that fragrance oils are not 100% natural, and should not be marketed in this manner.

Do you use soy wax in your candles?

Yes, soy wax is a key ingredient in our candles. All of the soy wax that we use is cosmetic-grade, coming from soybean oil.

Our soy wax candles are specially crafted for your skin care in mind, with added nourishing ingredients like rosehip oil, grapeseed oil, shea butter, coconut oil and vitamin E.
