Our candles are made with Canadian beeswax, coconut wax and lead-free natural cotton wicks. You won't find any other waxes or ingredients hiding in there!
All home fragrance products are scented with either:
Yes! Beeswax is the cleanest burning wax there is and it can even purify your air. Our candles are free from harmful ingredients like phthalates and parabens, and our wicks are lead- and zinc-free. Just be sure to follow safe candle-burning practices.
Our candle jars typically burn for 45–50 hours, depending on how long you burn it each time and how well you care for the wick (we recommend trimming it to ¼" before each burn). Altitude and other air conditions, drafts etc can also affect burn time.
All our home fragrance products including candles, reed diffusers, room sprays and essential oil blends are scented with either:
They’re designed to fill a room with a beautiful, inviting scent without being overpowering. We aim for balance—cozy, not cloying.
Burn until the wax reaches or is close to the edge of the vessel, trim the wick between uses, and don’t burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Beeswax is forgiving and will usually sort out any tunneling issues as it burns down.

Our candles are hand blended and poured in our studio + shop in Edmonton, AB. Every part of the process is done by hand by our small team of women.
All our home fragrance products including candles, reed diffusers, room sprays and essential oil blends are scented with either:
Our reed diffusers and room sprays are vegan, allergen-free and zero VOC. They are made from naturally derived ingredients and are safe to use in your home.
An allergen-free, vegan and zero-free base, scented with our premium phthalate and paraben free fragrance + essential oil blend for a subtle and continuous scent experience—no flames, no fuss.
Each reed diffuser lasts around 4–6 months depending on room temperature, airflow and how often you flip the reeds.
Add more reeds for a stronger scent, or flip the reeds every few days. For a lighter aroma, use fewer reeds and flip less often.
We can definitely refill your reed diffuser in our shop. We may not be able to do it the same day, but we'll get it filled for you ASAP.
Yes. They’re made with pure, undiluted essential oils. No carrier oils, no fillers—just clean, high-quality botanicals.
Add a few drops to a diffuser, ceramic oil stone, or bowl of warm water to naturally scent your space. They’re perfect for creating a calm, cozy environment throughout your home.
No, they are not safe to apply directly on your skin. Our essential oil blends are not diluted and thus are not intended for topical use (which goes for all pure essential oils). Always keep them away from skin, eyes, and pets. If you do want to apply them topically, a safe dilution rate would be 1%-2% into a carrier oil.
Please use caution and discontinue use if any irritation occurs.
We don’t recommend it. Because these are pure oils, they won’t disperse safely in water and could irritate the skin. Stick to diffusing for best results.
Essential oils can affect pets and little ones differently. Always exercise caution, use in a well-ventilated area and consult your vet or healthcare provider if you have concerns.

For every product we personally make—whether it’s a candle, reed diffuser, or essential oil blend—we fund health insurance for someone in need in Rwanda. It’s built into the heart of our business.
Our roots are connected to Rwanda through personal relationships and past work. It’s a place that means a lot to us, and where even small efforts can make a life-changing difference in access to care. Click here to learn more
We partner with a local non-profit to find the people who are in need of coverage and then we fund the coverage through Rwanda’s national public health care system, which includes access to doctors, hospitals, and essential medications.
Yes! Every single product we make ourselves—like our candles, reed diffusers, room sprays, and essential oil blends—contributes directly to our giveback by funding health insurance in Rwanda. Purchases of other products in our shop don’t directly fund the giveback, but they help support our small business, cover operating costs, and allow us to keep the mission going. So in a big-picture way, every purchase truly helps.
It’s ongoing. We commit to providing full annual coverage for each individual we support, not just a short one-time gesture. Our goal is sustainable, long-term impact.
Yes, you can learn more about some of those we support here. We are also working on some new blogs in order to share their stories - coming soon!
