Why ‘Non-Toxic’ Isn’t Just a Buzzword to Me – A Candle Maker’s Personal Journey

Why ‘Non-Toxic’ Isn’t Just a Buzzword to Me – A Candle Maker’s Personal Journey

What happens when candle making affects your health? When you're faced with the very real possibility that you might have to give up on your dream?

This is the personal story behind my journey with chemical sensitivity, allergic asthma, and the serious health challenges that came with it. I spent months researching how to make candles without the ingredients that were making me unwell. “Non-toxic” isn’t just a trend for me. It’s the result of lived experience, deep research, and a commitment to creating candles in the safest, cleanest way I can.
