Candles can either uplift your home or silently harm your health—depending on what they’re made of. At Karessa Candles, we use only natural ingredients to ensure each flame brings light, calm, and clean air into your space.
Let’s explore why choosing natural over synthetic matters.
What are natural ingredients in candles?
Natural ingredients refer to elements derived directly from nature, like:
-
Soy wax or beeswax instead of paraffin
-
Essential oils instead of synthetic fragrances
-
Cotton or wood wicks instead of lead-based ones
You’ll find these in all our handmade candles.

Yes. Natural candles don’t emit toxic chemicals when burned. They are:
-
Free from carcinogens and pollutants
-
Gentler on sensitive lungs
