SOurcing



When my daughter was born, I was concerned with the quality of products I was using to care for her. I've always had a love of candles. However, after her birth, I was concerned with what I was putting into the air. With this in mind, Leilani Candle Co is committed to sourcing materials and ingredients of the highest quality. We choose to use pure soy wax, manufactured in Canada, because it is a renewable resource, and burns cleanly.

Soy wax was an obvious choice for me as a maker, once I discovered what parrafin emits. A study conducted at South Carolina State University found that paraffin candles release known carcinogens for humans and animals. Soy candles emit no toxic chemicals, are derived from a plant, and burn slower than parrafin candles.

Most of our candles feature wood wicks that crackle and burn with no soot. Our wicks are sourced in Canada, and are made using FSC certified Canadian Redwood. Our cotton wicks, featured in our molded candles, are carefully twisted and dipped in soy wax, which allows for an even heat ratio and smooth melt pool.

Our scents are high quality, and even more importantly, we only use phthalate-free fragrance oils. None of our products are ever tested on animals.

When you choose Leilani Candle Co. you choose high quality, safe products, for you and your loved ones.
