Exotic amber and soft notes of white lily, cyclamen and musk create this sophisticated aroma.
Philosophy
At Makana Candle Studios, we are passionate about preserving both the health of the environment and the health of individuals.
Makana means gift in Hawaiian. Traditional Hawaiian beliefs contend that people, animals, and the land, ‘aina, do not exist independently of one another, but rather, all of our existences and destinies are intertwined. It is our collective kuleana, or responsibility, to care for the earth and all of its inhabitants.
Following this Hawaiian tradition of malama ‘aina, caring for the land, we ensure that each of our hand-crafted candles are made with only simple, green ingredients – 100% pure, GMO-free soy wax, cotton wicks, and phthalate-free fragrances blended with pure essential oils – and carefully wrapped in eco-friendly packaging. In this spirit, we believe that by taking care of the land and its inhabitants, it will in turn, take care of us and provide the gifts of sustenance, balance, health, and well-being.
100% Handcrafted
Our candles are created in the same way that artisans have been creating candles for many, many years – selecting each and every ingredient, blending by hand and in small batches, carefully pouring the wax in each vessel, allowing the candles to cure and packaging them by hand. We operate in a studio, not in a large factory with machinery. All our products have been researched, selected, tested and designed by us and made with care and aloha. In every step of the process, we try to uphold the artisanal tradition.
Ingredients
At Makana Candle Studios, we care about the environment and also your health. That’s why we choose to only use simple, safe, green ingredients – 100% soy wax, all-natural cotton wicking, phthalate-free fragrances blended with essential oils and eco-friendly packaging.
Natural Soy Wax Properties
Due to the organic properties of 100% soy wax, each hand-crafted candle may differ slightly in texture and appearance. Although our candles are dye-free, the components of our fragrance and essential oils vary from blend to blend, and may result in different tints for the finished product. This doesn’t alter the performance of the candle. We think it’s unnecessary and unhealthy to add toxic chemicals just for the purpose of enhancing candle appearance.
Cruelty-free
We have compassion for animals and all living things and never test on animals or use any animal by-products in the creation of our candles. Our candles are completely vegan.
