Shadow Tide

Shadow Tide

Salt • Resin • Smoke
Waves fold over themselves in the dark, their rhythm slow and steady. Sea moss cools the air, amber glows beneath the surface, and smoke drifts from a distant fire carried by the tide.

SHADOW TIDE Shadow Tide begins with the cold breath of ocean air — a dark, salted wind rolling over stone. It carries hints of moss and mineral water, creating a clean yet mysterious opening that feels like standing at the edge of a vast, moonlit shoreline. There’s a stillness in it, a quiet tension that pulls you deeper.

Amber noir and salted resin rise next, warm against the cool marine top notes. It creates a sense of depth, like light sinking slowly beneath the waves. Driftwood lingers at the heart, smooth and weathered, bringing an earthy calm that anchors the scent.

As it settles, smoked wood and moss deepen the base, giving the candle its signature shadowed warmth. This is a scent for introspection — an atmospheric pause that quiets the mind and draws you inward. Shadow Tide brings the emotional clarity of standing with your feet in cold surf, breathing in the night.

Shadow Tide is a premium scent designed for slower moments, mood-setting, and a calm, grounded space.

Ingredients

Clean Soy and Coconut Wax Blends

We only use plant-based clean burning waxes sourced from trusted U.S. suppliers.

Soy Blend
Our proprietary soy blend is fully vegan and designed for a stronger, more 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.

Coconut Blend
Our coconut blend is also fully vegan and known for its smooth, creamy finish and even burn. Its scent presence is intentionally softer - calm, balanced, and designed to stay close to the space rather than fill it.

Both blends are made for clean, consistent performance from the first burn to the last.

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 with both wax blends.

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

Every ingredient we use earns its place. If it doesn’t support a clean burn or a calm home, it’s left out.

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.
