When it comes to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere at home, scented candles are a popular choice. But with growing awareness about the ingredients in our everyday products, it's important to understand what goes into the candles we light in our spaces. At AEMBR, we're committed to providing not just delightful fragrances but also the peace of mind that comes with using safer ingredients.

Understanding Candle Ingredients

The conversation around candle safety often centers on the ingredients used in their making, particularly the wax and fragrance oils. Here at AEMBR, we choose coconut apricot wax for our candles. This wax is known for its clean-burning properties and is a sustainable option for those who are mindful about their environmental footprint.

Fragrances: The Heart of Scented Candles

The fragrances in candles can transform ordinary moments into memorable experiences. However, it's crucial to understand the types of fragrances used. Many candles on the market use synthetic fragrances that may contain phthalates. Research has raised concerns about phthalates due to their potential effects on health. At AEMBR, we ensure that our fragrances are phthalate-free, aligning with our commitment to your well-being.

AEMBR’s Commitment to Transparency and Safety

Transparency is at the core of what we do. We believe that you have the right to know what's in the products you bring into your home. That's why we provide detailed ingredient lists and ensure that our candles are crafted with high-quality, safer components.

Enjoying Candles with Peace of Mind

While enjoying the ambiance and aroma of scented candles, it’s important to be informed about their components. By choosing candles from trusted brands like AEMBR, you can relax and enjoy your scented spaces, knowing that you’re surrounded by ingredients that prioritize safety and quality.
