Expanded Ingredient Reference

This list is based on Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for the fragrances we use. Ingredients may vary from scent to scent, but these are the most common compounds. All of our fragrances are phthalate-free, paraffin-free, and lead/zinc-free.

Note: Many of these compounds are classified as skin or eye irritants in concentrated form. In candles, they are heavily diluted into wax and are used only for air fragrance, not topical application.

    • Alpha-Methylcinnamaldehyde – synthetic compound; warm, sweet-spicy note.

    • Anisic Aldehyde – naturally occurring; mild floral-sweet note.

    • Benzyl Benzoate – commonly used fragrance fixative; toxic to aquatic life if released in bulk.

    • Brown Sugar Accord (synthetic blend) – made from safe synthetics; phthalate-free.

    • Cinnamaldehyde – naturally occurring in cinnamon; possible irritant, safe in diluted candle use.

    • Coumarin – occurs naturally in tonka beans; allergen in skin products.

  • d-Limonene – from citrus peels; allergen when applied to skin.

    • Ethyl Maltol – synthetic compound that gives sweet notes.

    • Ethyl Vanillin – synthetic vanilla compound.

    • Eugenol – naturally in clove; skin sensitizer.

    • Ethylene Brassylate – synthetic fixative.

    • Hydroxycitronellal – synthetic floral compound; allergen in skin products.

    • Linalool – naturally in lavender and coriander; potential allergen.

    • Methyl Cyclopentenolone – synthetic caramel/maple-like note.

    • Piperonal (Heliotropin) – naturally occurring; potential allergen in high concentrations, safe in candles.

    • Vanillin – natural compound from vanilla beans; may cause mild irritation in direct skin use.

Safety Recap

  • Not for skin use: These ingredients can cause irritation at high concentrations; in our candles, they’re used at very low levels for fragrance only.

  • Phthalate-free: We do not use fragrances containing phthalates, which are linked to hormone disruption.

  • Paraffin-free: Our candles use a natural beeswax + tallow blend, never petroleum-based wax.

  • Safe for home use: All ingredients meet safety standards when used as intended—in candles designed for air fragrance only.

This list will continue to grow as we add new scents. While the full fragrance formulas are proprietary to our suppliers, our goal is to make it easy for you to understand what’s in your home fragrance—without hidden toxins. SDSs available upon request.
