About Us

I’ve always loved the ritual of lighting a candle—the way a room softens, the way a day slows down. But as someone who’s careful about what goes in and around my body, I started noticing that many of my favorite candles relied on petroleum-based waxes and heavy synthetic fragrances. Over time, I became more sensitive to those scents. When I dug into the ingredient lists, I didn’t love what I found—or how hard it was to get straight answers.

I wanted a natural alternative I could feel good about burning. During my search, most “clean” options were either opaque about what was inside or priced out of reach. That gap is what sparked The Honest Flame: affordable candles made with simple, high-quality ingredients and real transparency.

Every candle we pour starts with a clean natural soy wax, a beeswax or cotton wick, and pure essential oils, never paraffin, phthalates, or parabens. The goal is simple: keep the glow, lose the guesswork. If it’s not something I’d burn in my own home, it won’t go in yours.

Thanks for being here. I hope these candles bring a calm, honest light to your space—so you can breathe easy and enjoy the moment.
