Candles seem harmless, but many release synthetic fragrance, paraffin soot, and other toxins straight into your air. We keep it simple: clean ingredients, natural materials, and full transparency.
Here’s what we look for:
Unscented comes first
We love the subtle scent of a pure beeswax candle. When a candle is scented, it must use high-quality essential oils or herbs—never synthetic fragrance or “parfum.”
Only clean wax
We stick to natural waxes like beeswax or coconut. No paraffin. No petroleum blends.
Wicks that don’t pollute your air
Wicks must be made from cotton, wood, or hemp, never metal-core, coated, or containing synthetic threads.
Always free from:
- Synthetic fragrance or “parfum”
- Paraffin or petroleum-based wax
- Plastic, metal-core, or coated wicks
- Dyes, phthalates, and other unnecessary additives
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s)
Look for the Welpr Approved tag
If a candle meets all of our standards (and every candle on Welpr does), you’ll see the Welpr Approved certification on the product card.
