Bright Awakening

Bright Awakening

Fresh energy, a lighter mood, and a positive start
Bright Awakening fills the room with sweet citrus and fresh orange — light, clear, and motivating. Like opening the windows and letting the day begin.

BRIGHT AWAKENING is a fresh, uplifting citrus blend designed to support a positive start. Citrus Sunshine and citron-mandarin create a clean, happy brightness, while blood orange adds juicy warmth that feels energizing without sharpness. A touch of lemon verbena keeps the finish crisp and balanced — bright, but never overwhelming.

This scent is made for mornings and fresh starts. It helps reset the mood, gently energize the mind, and bring a sense of readiness to the day — without feeling jittery or intense. Bright Awakening is clear and approachable, the kind of everyday citrus you’ll want to return to again and again.

Light it during your morning routine, while getting ready, or at the start of your workday when you want a clean, optimistic atmosphere in the room.

Ingredients

Soy Blend
Our proprietary soy blend is fully vegan and designed for a strong, noticeable scent throw. It’s formulated with organic, vegan, plant-based additives that improve scent performance, stability, and consistency while maintaining a clean, steady burn and smooth melt pool. Made for clean, consistent performance from the first burn to the last. We only use plant-based clean burning waxes sourced from trusted U.S. suppliers.

Phthalate-Free, IFRA-Certified Fragrance Oils
All of our scents are made with premium fragrance oils from reputable U.S. manufacturers. Every fragrance is phthalate-free and IFRA certified, meeting international safety standards for clean, responsible use in the home. Each scent is developed to feel comfortable in everyday living spaces without compromising air quality.

Cotton Wick
Our candles use a high-quality cotton wick with paper filaments for a steady flame and low soot. The wick is lead-free, zinc-free, and selected to perform reliably.

What We Leave Out
We keep our formulas intentional and avoid ingredients commonly used to force performance or alter burn behavior.

  • No paraffin or petroleum-based waxes
  • No artificial dyes or colorants
  • No metal-core wicks
  • No phthalates
  • No vybar or synthetic fragrance binders
  • No stearic acid
  • No paraffin-based hardeners
  • No polymer resins or plasticizers
  • No UV inhibitors or chemical stabilizers
  • No fillers used to bulk up wax or mask formulation issues

Use & Care

Candle Care

  • Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each burn to keep the flame steady and the burn clean.
  • Let the wax melt all the way to the edges on the first burn (about 2–3 hours). This helps prevent tunneling later.
  • Burn for up to 4 hours at a time for the best performance.
  • Stop burning when about ¼ inch of wax remains at the bottom of the jar.

Candle Safety

  • Place candles on a stable, heat-safe surface.
  • Keep away from drafts, vents, curtains, pets, and anything that could catch.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of children.
  • Avoid moving the candle while it’s burning — the glass will be hot.
  • Keep the wax surface clear of matches, wick trimmings, or other debris.
  • If the flame becomes too tall or flickers excessively, extinguish the candle, trim the wick, and relight.
  • Burn candles only in well-ventilated spaces.
