Ingredient Exclusion List

As a migraine sufferer myself, I know how incredibly frustrating it can be when you find a candle you absolutely love...only to find out that it triggers a migraine! While I cannot guarantee that my products won't trigger a migraine for you, I can say first hand that none of them have ever triggered a migraine for me and I attribute this to the fact that I only use 100% certified clean scents in all of my products.

Due to the extensive number of exclusions, not every ingredient is listed. If you have concerns about a specific chemical not listed and want to verify it is excluded, please send me a message so we can check and get back to you
