When it comes to candles, what you breathe in matters just as much as how it smells. That’s why we’re proud to say that all of the fragrance oils we use in our candles are phthalate-free. You’ve probably seen that phrase before, but what does it actually mean—and why should you care? Let’s break it down.
What Are Phthalates?
Phthalates (pronounced THAL-ates) are a group of chemicals often used in plastics, cosmetics, and yes—even some fragrance oils. In fragrances, they’re sometimes added to help scents last longer or spread more easily.
While phthalates are common, they’ve also raised health and environmental concerns. Some studies have linked high levels of phthalate exposure to hormone disruption and other issues, leading many people to seek safer alternatives in products they use at home.
Why We Say “No” to Phthalates
For us, it’s simple: candles are meant to make your home feel better—not bring in ingredients that raise questions. By keeping our fragrance oils phthalate-free, we ensure that you get the cozy, long-lasting scents you love without the unnecessary additives.
It’s part of our commitment to making candles that are safe to burn around your family, your pets, and your spaces.

Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, candles are about comfort, relaxation, and creating moments that matter. You deserve to enjoy them with complete confidence.
