(candle code?) so, either contact the company for details, or search for the 100% guarantee. i recently contacted a favorite brand to clarify, and got no response - which sadly, i’m afraid means they do use paraffin. 😢 also, it’s ok if some of the fragrances are manufactured, rather than 100% pure oils, but be sure they are phthalate-free. i like nashville based @thistlefarms candles especially for all those reasons, but also because they are made by and empower women who are survivors of trafficking, prostitution and addiction. here’s a brand i just tried and i’m liking - @pureplanthome. i also love @charlestonandharlow - discovered their candles while in winnipeg filming last year. ❤️ 🕯」12月6日 8時45分
