A Deep Dive Into Our Candles

At Deep Sea Day Dreams, crafting the perfect candle isn’t just about creating a beautiful scent—it’s about making choices that reflect our commitment to sustainability, quality, and the well-being of our community. 

Each ingredient is carefully selected to ensure that our candles not only provide an exceptional sensory experience but also align with our core values. 

Let’s take a closer look at what goes into a Deep Sea Day Dreams candle and why these choices matter.

The Foundation: 100% Soy Wax

Our candles are made with 100% soy wax, sourced from soybeans grown right here in the United States. 

Soy wax is a renewable resource, meaning it’s more sustainable than paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum. 

Not only does soy wax burn cleaner, producing less soot and toxins, but it also has a longer burn time, allowing you to enjoy your candle for even longer.

Fragrance Oils: Pure and Safe

The fragrances we use in our candles are carefully chosen to be free of phthalates, carcinogens, and any ingredients that require Prop 65 warnings.

Phthalates, often used to extend the life of a fragrance, are linked to various health concerns, including hormone disruption and reproductive issues. By avoiding them, we ensure that our candles are safe for you and your loved ones to enjoy.

Additionally, we steer clear of other harmful chemicals often found in fragrance oils, such as formaldehyde and parabens.

Instead, we use fragrance oils that are rigorously tested and certified safe, ensuring a pure and worry-free experience every time you light our candles.

Wicks: Clean and Sustainable

Our wicks are made from braided cotton and paper.

Some candle manufacturers use lead- or zinc-core wicks to maintain the wick's shape during burning, but these wicks can release harmful heavy metal particles into the air.

Lead exposure, even in small amounts, can be toxic, particularly to children and pets. Zinc-core wicks, while less harmful, can still release trace amounts of heavy metals.

By opting for cotton and paper braided wicks, we ensure that our candles burn cleanly and evenly, without releasing any unwanted chemicals into your home.

Containers: Thoughtfully Designed

Each Deep Sea Day Dreams candle comes in a sleek black ceramic jar with a natural cork lid.

These materials are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally friendly.

Ceramic is durable, reusable, and can be repurposed in countless ways once your candle has burned down--plant pots, storage containers, or even mosaic pieces!

Our natural cork lids are made from a renewable and biodegradable material that provides a tight seal to preserve your candle's scent. It is also an eco-friendly alternative to plastic, ensuring that our packaging is as sustainable as our candles.

Speaking of plastic, we’ve made a conscious decision to avoid it wherever possible.

Instead, we use recycled and recyclable materials for all our packaging, from the boxes we ship in to the protective wrapping inside.

This helps us minimize our environmental impact and ensures that your purchase aligns with your values.

Why It Matters

The choices we make in creating our candles aren’t just about producing a high-quality product—they’re about making a positive impact.

By using sustainable, non-toxic materials, we’re able to offer you a candle that’s not only safe for your home but also kinder to the planet.

We believe that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand, and we’re committed to proving that through every candle we create.
