Sustainably made
Being sustainable is about making conscious choices, large and small. It's about people as well as the environment.
As a sustainable company, we believe in clean burning candles ethically made with healthy ingredients, and we love creating designs that can be repurposed in your home for many years of enjoyment.
B-Corp Certified
Prosperity Candle is certified for social and environmental sustainability, and has been recognized as a Best For The World small business by B-Lab.
Every 3 years we go through a rigorous assessment that looks at everything we do, from where we source materials to how we package our candles.
We're proud to be a member of the B-Corp community and follow the 10 principles of Fair Trade.
Ingredients
What goes into a candle ends up in our homes, so we are very thoughtful with every ingredient.
We use all-natural soy and coconut wax, 100% pure cotton and wood wicks, and never any dyes or artificial enhancers. We believe the best candle is a clean-burning candle.
Our premium fragrances are phthalate-free, made with essential oils and ingredients safe for soaps, lotions and candles.
Repurposing
One of the fun parts of being a sustainable company is designing candles that can be repurposed when the wax is done, like our Marbella Collection and Liberte Pot Candles... as a flower pot, for jewelry and cosmetics, or any other creative use!
Even our packaging can be repurposed... we designed our cylinder gift boxes to be reusable for home, office and re-gifting ideas. And of course all our packaging is 100% recyclable with recycled kraft paper used to protect your candle during shipping.
Commitment to Sustainability
U.S. Made
All our waxes and fragrances are made in the U.S., as is most of our packaging and vessels. This not only supports American farmers, artisans and workers, but also reduces our carbon footprint.
We are proud to be an American candle company that creates sustainable gifts and products using locally sourced materials whenever possible.
Why We Don't Like Paraffin
Clean, sustainable ingredients are essential for the well-being of our customers, the environment, and the women artisans who pour each candle.
Paraffin is a byproduct of petroleum that performs especially well with fragrance, which is why most candles are made with some amount of it. But paraffin is also part of the ongoing global reliance on fossil fuels which is driving climate change, and burning it releases carcinogens into your home.
This is why we and other sustainable candle-makers choose natural, renewable waxes. They are better for the environment and your health.
