At Kansas Earth and Sky Candle Co., sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's a core value that guides everything we do. We believe that creating beautiful, fragrant candles shouldn't come at the expense of our planet. That's why we've made thoughtful choices at every step of our process, from sourcing materials to how you can reuse and recycle our products. Here's a look at the sustainable practices that set us apart.
Midwest-Grown Soy Wax: Supporting Local and Sustainable Agriculture
Our candles start with 100% soy wax sourced from soybeans grown right here in the Midwest. By choosing soy wax, we're supporting local farmers and reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance shipping. Soy wax is a renewable resource, biodegradable, and burns cleaner than paraffin wax, which means fewer pollutants in your home and the environment.
Hemp Wicks: A Natural and Eco-Friendly Choice
We use hemp wicks in our candles because they offer a cleaner, more sustainable burn. Hemp is a fast-growing plant that requires minimal water and no pesticides, making it an environmentally friendly crop. These wicks provide a consistent flame that enhances the life of your candle, allowing you to enjoy every moment without worrying about toxins or pollutants.
Phthalate-Free Fragrances: Cleaner Scents
All of our fragrance oils are phthalate-free, which means they don't contain harmful chemicals that can negatively impact your health or the environment. We believe that clean living should smell as good as it feels, and our commitment to using phthalate-free fragrances is just one way we make that happen.
Reusable Rocks Glasses: Form Meets Function
When you purchase a candle from Kansas Earth and Sky Candle Co., you're not just getting a beautiful scent; you're also getting a versatile piece of drinkware. Our candles are poured into high-quality rocks glasses that can be reused as drinkware once the candle has burned down. It's a small step towards reducing waste, and it's one that our customers love.
Return and Recycle Program: Earn Loyalty Points
We encourage our customers to return their used glasses to our store. For every glass you return, you'll earn loyalty points that can be redeemed for rewards. It's our way of saying thank you for helping us keep our products in circulation and out of landfills. Plus, it's a great way for you to save on future purchases!
Discounted Refills at "Hot Wax Saturdays"
One of the best ways to extend the life of your rocks glass is by taking advantage of our "Hot Wax Saturdays" workshops. Every Saturday, we offer discounted refills on any glass you bring in. It's a fun and interactive way to get creative with your candle scents while contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle.
