Why Eco-Friendly Candles Are Better for Your Home & Health

Discover the benefits of clean-burning candles made with coconut soy wax and phthalate-free fragrances.

In a world filled with synthetic scents and paraffin wax, it's easy to overlook what’s really in the candles we burn every day. But if you’re looking to create a cleaner, safer home environment, switching to eco-friendly candles is a simple and impactful step.

At The Remontant in Downtown Kirkland, we handcraft every candle with eco-conscious ingredients that are as safe as they are luxurious—so you never have to compromise between ambiance and air quality.

 


🕯️ What Makes a Candle "Eco-Friendly"?

An eco-friendly candle is designed to be non-toxic, sustainable, and safer for your space. Here’s what that means at The Remontant:

  • 100% Coconut Soy Wax
    We use a clean-burning coconut soy wax blend—completely free of paraffin (a petroleum byproduct found in many mass-market candles). Coconut soy wax burns cooler and slower, giving you more scent per candle with less soot in the air.

  • Phthalate-Free & Paraben-Free Fragrance Oils
    Many candles contain synthetic fragrance oils with phthalates—chemicals linked to indoor air pollution and hormone disruption. All of our scents are phthalate- and paraben-free, meaning you can enjoy rich, layered aromas without the toxins.

  • Sustainably Sourced Materials
    From our FSC-certified wood wicks to reusable glass jars, we keep our materials minimal, ethical, and earth-friendly.

  • Better Indoor Air Quality: No black smoke, fewer toxins, and no overwhelming chemical smell.

  • Safer for Kids and Pets: Our non-toxic formulas are ideal for sensitive households.
