Our Ingredients
At Rooted Candle Co., we believe that quality ingredients make all the difference. Every candle is crafted with care using premium coconut apricot wax and clean-burning fragrance oils, ensuring a joyful, cozy experience for your home.
What is Coconut Apricot Wax?
Coconut apricot wax is a premium, natural wax blend that combines the best properties of coconut and apricot kernel oils. This luxurious wax blend offers superior performance with a clean, even burn and excellent scent throw.
While mass-market candles are often made mostly—or entirely—from petroleum-based paraffin, our wax is made from natural ingredients, burns cleaner, and produces less soot—making it better for both your health and the environment.
We intentionally chose this blend over standard soy because it offers a much stronger scent throw and a more reliable burn. The addition of apricot ensures a velvety, creamy finish, avoiding the "frosting" and bumpy tops common in soy-only candles.
To ensure a stable burn, our wax includes a small amount of food-grade paraffin. Unlike the unrefined, petroleum-based paraffin found in mass-market candles, food-grade paraffin is highly refined and safe. This small addition helps the fragrance travel further while maintaining a much cleaner profile for your home.
Clean-Burning Fragrance Oils
We use only phthalate-free, premium fragrance oils specifically formulated for a clean, safe burn. While many commercial fragrances rely on hidden chemicals to boost their scent, our oils are free from carcinogens, mutagens, and reproductive toxins—ensuring a pure experience that won't compromise your indoor air quality.
Our carefully curated scents are designed to be sophisticated and true-to-life. By focusing on high-quality, non-toxic ingredients, we provide a rich fragrance that fills your space beautifully without being overwhelming or triggering the headaches often associated with mass-market candles. You get a cleaner, safer, and more authentic scent experience in every room.
