CANDLE ALCHEMY

As artisans of bookish candles, we delve deep into the scientific world of candle alchemy, infusing our creations with captivating fragrances while upholding our firm commitment to clean burning.
THE ALCHEMY CHAMBERS
As Moms, we understand the importance of providing a healthy lifestyle for ourselves and our families. That’s why we collaborated with Candlescience to use only their Clean Scent™ Fragrances.
So…what exactly makes a fragrance a “Clean Scent?”
Every single fragrance oil we use is phthalate free and made without ingredients found on California’s Proposition 65 list (HELLO ONTARIO! We should really have one of these lists…)
Clean Scent™ fragrances go one step further by also avoiding these 5 main hazard groups:
o Carcinogens: These are materials known or thought to cause cancer.
o Mutagens: Materials that change the DNA of a cell, harming the cell and causing diseases like cancer.
o Reproductive toxins: toxins that adversely affect reproductive organs and increase the risk of birth defects.
o Organ toxins: These are toxins that can cause adverse effects or disease within specific bodily organs.
o Acute toxins: toxins that can cause adverse effects from a single exposure. Generally, this would be accidental exposure like spillage or ingestion.
What organizations are involved with
developing standards for fragrance materials?
The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) and the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) are the two organizations involved with developing standards for fragrance materials. IFRA examines the research conducted by RIFM, and informed by that data, sets standards for the use of fragrance materials.
All of our candles at The Trove follow the guidelines set by IFRA!
So next time you’re buying that candle from big box retailers or online stores etc.… ask yourself, “What exactly am I buying? What will my family and I be breathing in? What toxins are in this candle?”
As we grow our little business, please explore our Candle Alchemy Chamber, and witness the convergence of artistry and science as we craft candles that illuminate your space with both literary charm and pristine purity.
