About Us
Located in our island studio amidst the natural beauty of Salt Spring Island, each candle is a tribute to the slow living and rich scents of Canada’s West Coast.
Hand-poured and forest-infused, we strive to interpret the grounding energy and sense of calm that comes with a walk in the forest.
Using only 100% essential oils in coconut-soy wax, we care about the impact we make on the planet, your health, and well-being. We aim to bring a gentle scent to your space, in a natural, non-harmful way, promoting deep care for yourself and your home.
Land Acknowledgement
We live, work and play on the unceded land and traditional territories of the Hul’qumi’num Treaty Group. We recognize these communities’ inherent Indigenous rights and title, and stand with them in the fight for decolonization, reconciliation, and Indigenization.
Organizations We've Supported
Each month we donate a percentage of our profits to environmental or social justice causes. As we grow our company, we want to share our success with the people and groups that matter to us.
We receive more donation requests than we can support, and unfortunately, we cannot accommodate donation requests for financial support, sporting events, religious organizations, political organizations, or individual fundraising at this time.
