Sustainability and community is at the core of our brand and since the beginning, we have taken many steps in ensuring we source as locally as possible. Like you, we care for our environment and make intentional ethical choices. We plan to continue to grow and move forward in our sustainable practices and see our company as ever evolving and growing. By supporting local, we are significantly able to minimize our carbon footprint. #plasticfreeshipping

 Thank you in helping us run a more sustainable and ethical business!

LOCALLY MADE & CLEAN BURNING

Created exclusively for us, our ceramic vessels are handmade in Hualalai on Hawaiʻi Island. Each vessel is individually made and a one of a kind unique piece. We love supporting our local artist!

Unlike other candles that are made from paraffin wax, which is a by product of petroleum, our candles are a custom blend of natural soy, coconut, and beeswax. All non toxic and free from artificial colorants. Our beeswax is locally sourced from a sustainable bee farm here on the southern region of Hawaiʻi island. They are small batched and never use harmful pesticides. Our beautiful kraft box labels are are printed locally as well in the only locally owned and operated label manufacturer in Hawaii. Each candle is individually hand poured and mixed with premium fragrance and essential oils that are phthalate free. In doing small batch,  we are able to oversee that each piece is of high quality and carefully made. 

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

 Our candle boxes are fully recyclable, biodegradable and are made out of 100% post-consumer and post-industrial content. They are manufactured in the United States and use absolutely NO virgin fiber content. Yay!

Our Kraft shipping labels are constructed out of 100% post-consumer content paper and printed in house. Like our boxes, our labels are recyclable. Meaning, removing the labels are no longer necessary. It can easily be recycled while still on our candle boxes. Manufactured in the United States.
