The Problem That Started Everything
Zoe loved candles but they didn’t love her back. After years of headaches from cheap paraffin candles, she faced a choice: give up on candles entirely, or figure out what everyone else was getting wrong.
She chose to solve the problem.
The Solution She Crafted
What started as personal frustration became a mission. Zoe experimented with different wax blends until she discovered that combining European rapeseed with coconut wax created something special – candles that burned clean, lasted long, and never triggered the headaches that plagued her with other brands.
Her friends became her first customers when they experienced the difference: 50 hours of beautiful fragrance without a single headache.
Why European Wax Matters
While others import cheap soy wax from overseas, Zoe chose European rapeseed for shorter supply chains and superior performance. Blended with sustainably sourced coconut wax, this combination burns cleaner and longer than pure soy or paraffin alternatives.
It’s not just about being organic – it’s about being better.
The Gentle Strength Promise
Today, Zoe hand-pours every candle in the Netherlands for families who refuse to choose between beautiful fragrance and healthy homes. Her candles are strong enough to fill large spaces, gentle enough for sensitive souls, and reliable enough for daily burning around babies and pets.
Because everyone deserves candles that enhance their mood, not ruin their day.
