Luxury shouldn't cost the planet. From the wax we pour to the boxes we ship in, every choice at Sands of Scent is made with the long view in mind.
100% natural soy wax burns cleaner and slower than paraffin, with no petroleum byproducts. Our fragrance oils are phthalate- and paraben-free.
Our outer boxes and shipping mailers are recyclable, and we use paper void-fill instead of plastic peanuts. Even the tape we use is paper-based when we can get it.
Our heavy glass vessels are made to outlive the candle. Once your candle has finished, wash the jar with warm soapy water and give it a second life as a planter, a catch-all, or a vase.
Pouring in small batches means less waste, fewer overruns, and candles that ship while they're still at their freshest. No deep storage, no warehouse miles.
We're still learning, and we don't pretend to be perfect — but we're committed to making a measurably better candle every season.
