CANDLES & PRODUCTS

• You claim that your products are non-toxic. What toxins are we avoiding?
• Typically, candles are created with petroleum by-products and harmful fragrances. These ingredients can create toxic fumes in your home containing carcinogenic molecules, parabens, mutagen, endocrine disrupting chemicals, phthalates, and more. Fate Beauty’s products are FREE of all toxins listed above. 
• What are the symptoms of using a toxic candle?
• Burning paraffin wax & low quality fragrance can create some unpleasant symptoms like headaches, sneezing, difficulty breathing, dizziness, and potential long term effects.
• What makes your candles all natural & non-toxic?
• We use 100% soy wax, unbleached cotton wicks, and the safest scents on the market.
• What type of scents do you use?
• Eco-Scents are the safest scents on the market. They are plant-based oils that have been safely altered to remove any harmful, or potentially harmful, compounds (see question below). They are lab-certified non-toxic and NEVER contain EDCs, VOCs, carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, organ toxics, or acute toxins. This means they will not only burn soot-free, but you will feel the difference in the air. 
• Why don’t you use pure essential oils for your candles? 
• Essential oils are great for many purposes, but not for candles because of their low flash point. When in contact with fire (like in a candle), the essential oil burns and releases toxic fumes. This is why we have opted to use Eco-Scents! Eco-scents are plant-based compounds that have been safely altered to remove any carcinogenic molecules, parabens, phthalates, endocrine disrupting chemicals, and many other toxins. Although some of these toxins are naturally occurring, they are still dangerous! 

 

• Are your candles safe for pets?

• All of our products have been lab-verified as safe for pets, babies, and humans of all ages! 

  
  

  Please keep in mind that, just like humans, pets have scent preferences. They also have much stronger olfactory receptors than humans. So, even though your pet may not like certain scents, we can assure you that your furry friends are completely safe with our products!

• How can I tell if candles from other companies are safe?
• Unfortunately, due to the proprietary nature of fragrance, it is impossible to know if a candle is safe & non-toxic unless the company provides a safety data sheet (SDS) for their product.  A safety data sheet is an official laboratory document summarizing the hazards and safety of a product. 
• How do I care for my candle?
• To make the most out of your Fate candle, make sure to always trim the wick to ¼ inch before use! Always extinguish with a candle snuffer or by blowing out the flame and leaving the lid OFF until it cools.

• How does my purchase help your business?

• 100% of the profits are reinvested into the company. By purchasing high quality ingredients and equipment, I can restock more often and bring more products to you at a lower price. Other expenses are for trade shows, where I sell my products in person to meet new customers and form business relationships. 
• How did you learn to make candles?

• I am completely self taught! After making my first candle, I enrolled in graduate school for cosmetic chemistry. Between my formal education and my experience at Fate Beauty, I am always learning more everyday!

FOUNDED 2020

When I found out about all the toxins I was bringing into my home, I had quickly disposed of every unnatural product I was using daily. I easily found DIY recipes or safe replacements for most of the products, but I could not find a safe candle alternative. The internet's solution: “Just don't burn candles”. I am a candle addict (*shocker*), so this was NOT the solution for me. I dove deep into researching the fragrance industry, and what I found was disturbing. There was no way to find safe candles when companies would rather greenwash their customers than simply be honest. This was just another instance of “if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself”. Fine. I was not a candle maker, but I never doubt myself. I finally found one manufacturer who had the same ethical standards as I did, and created scents that are safe for humans, animals, and babies. This limits me a lot, since I can’t always offer the variety I’d like, but safety is not something I will compromise on. 

I tried my hand at candle making and fell in love! I made a few (terrible) TikTok videos and one BLEW UP overnight! It reached over a million views and resulted in 600 orders OVERNIGHT! I cannot thank them enough, the kind souls who decided to support my small business that day and propel my dream into reality. It is almost a year later that I am writing this and I cannot believe how much this business has grown and I cannot wait to see what it becomes in the future. THANK YOU!!!
