Our latest launch is a very thoughtful, very important one.
The Skinny Confidential Non-Toxic Candle is available now and I’m telling you, this isn’t just a candle, it’s a better choice.
Traditional candles are filled with chemicals that pollute your home and body. The Skinny Confidential’s is completely non-toxic so you can feel safe lighting it anywhere in your home, at any time of day. ESPECIALLY if you have kids and/or pets.
But let’s get into a little back story of WHY the team and I created this, because there is always a reason and intention behind our products.
Four years ago I gave birth to my daughter. Zaza came out as the cutest little cherub- I was immediately in love. To celebrate her arrival, we lit candles all over the house. You know the high-end, luxurious, famous candles that are champagne-scented? I burned those candles for days for a nice ambience.
After about 2 weeks, she developed a serious cough. A friend who was very into holistic wellness was visiting- she broke the news to us: not only are the candles toxic, but the wick was releasing toxins like benzene, formaldehyde and soot in the air.
That very day I got rid of all the candles. I didn’t want them near my baby. Her cough went away in 2 days. Once I started researching non-toxic options I saw it was slim pickings. That’s when the AH-HA moment happened to create a meticulous non-toxic candle- a safer, better, cleaner option.
Candles are one of my non-negotiables – the ambience, the way the flame dances, the sexiness – there’s just something primal about candles. But I wasn’t willing to sacrifice my family’s health.
So presenting a non-toxic, 100% all natural soy wax candle with a clean cotton wick and no parabens, phthalates, or nasty chemicals. Three ingredients only with an organic, fresh Eucalyptus oil. No thanks to all those sun-ripened raspberry, cucumber melon, warm vanilla sugar, pumpkin chai, 3 wick hormone disruptors.
This is specifically designed to provide you with peace of mind.
Now you can safely burn candles throughout your home, stress-free.
This is not just a candle, it’s a better choice. It’s peace of mind knowing that you can elevate your space with a product that detoxifies and grounds your home while being safe for your entire family.

Can you believe some candles contain those things?
HOW TO USE:
+ Be sure to trim your wick to ¼” upon every use and allow the candle to burn for 2-3 hours. You want the entire wax surface to be melted before extinguishing. This will allow your candle to last longer and help you avoid candle tunneling around the wick.
+ Try to extinguish your candle after 3 hours of enjoying your non-toxic, ambient glow. This will avoid the wick ‘mushrooming’ and smoking the next time you light it.
+ Keep trimming the wick to ¼” upon every use to avoid wax trimmings falling in the wax pool. This will also prevent smoking.
+ Ensure after each burn the wick is centered so your next flame won’t touch the glass.
+ Always stay close to your lit candle and keep it away from children and pets. Burn only on non-flammable, heat safe surfaces.
+ When your candle is down to a ¼” of wax, it’s time for a new one. This will ensure that the glass doesn’t overheat and break.
+ It’s really so versatile. Plus, it’s very mildly scented with organic eucalyptus essential oil, so it’s so subtle and not offensive at all.
TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR BEAUTY CANDLE LAST LONGER:
+ trim the wick every time
+ keep the flame away from moving air (like an open window)
+ let the melted wax go all the way across the top layer (to avoid uneven burning)
+ be sure to have a pool of wax on top of the candle before you extinguish the flame
I’m a big fan of keeping a wick trimmer and snuffer around. It acts as chic decor that’s useful too. Keep these tools on a cool candle plate with your new TSC Non-Toxic Beauty Candle and use it to style any shelf, counter or table in your home.
+ you’ll get a clean burn, meaning no smoke.
+ the glass holders won’t get black soot at the top.
+ your candles will last longer.
From your vanity to your living room, illuminate your space and set the mood for all your wellness practices, morning to night. Remember, it’s not just a candle, it’s a better choice.
Hope you love your better, cleaner home.
