Our candles are made with essential oils, botanical extracts, and natural waxes—no synthetics. Some essential oils can be a bit much for our furry friends, especially cats, so we recommend burning candles in a well-ventilated space and keeping them out of reach of curious paws. Aside from sensitivities, pets are naturally playful and inquisitive, so it’s best to avoid placing candles where they might be knocked over or explored too closely. If your pet has sensitivities or you’re unsure, it’s always best to check with your vet.

We use a coconut and soy wax ensuring a clean burn.

We use 100% cotton wicks in our candles, free from lead or zinc, ensuring a clean and safe burn.

The first burn of a candle is extremely important for ensuring that it burns evenly in the future. When lighting your candle for the first time, allow it to burn until the wax melts completely across the surface, making sure that it is reaching the edges of the container. This process may take a few hours, and as a guideline, let the candle burn for about one hour per inch of its diameter. Additionally, proper wick maintenance is essential. Avoid trimming the wick too short, as it can prevent the candle from burning hot enough and lead to tunneling. However, leaving the wick too long may cause the candle to burn too hot and produce smoke.

Not quite. While “natural” fragrance oils may begin with plant-based materials, but they are modified in a lab to isolate, enhance, or standardize specific scent compounds. While not always synthetic in origin, they are chemically altered and often include a mix of natural and synthetic components, including “nature-identical” aroma chemicals created to mimic plant scents.

It is also important to note that many “natural” fragrance oils contain synthetic compounds, despite being marketed as plant-based. Phrases like “infused with essential oils” are often used to make products appear more natural than they truly are. In most cases, these fragrances are lab-made, with only a small amount of essential oil added for marketing purposes.

They are not the same as pure essential oils or whole plant extracts.

At Wndrmade, we craft our fragrances using only pure essential oils and botanical extracts. We never use fragrance oils, whether synthetic or labeled as “natural.”

This commitment began as a personal one. After a health diagnosis, our co-founder Alice developed a heightened sensitivity to synthetic fragrance, often experiencing migraines and nausea from exposure. That experience inspired us to create Wndrmade as a truly natural alternative for those who want to avoid synthetic fragrance and appreciate the depth and beauty of real botanical ingredients. Our goal is to create plant-based fragrances that are intentional, complex, and genuinely rooted in nature.

What you smell is derived directly from plants. It is authentic, unmodified, and true to what nature intended. 🌱

They will not be as overpowering or artificially intense, and that by design. Fragrance oils, whether synthetic or labeled as “natural,” are often engineered to be cheaper, stronger, and more immediately noticeable. Essential oils are more nuanced. They speak with intention.

Our scents are meant to be subtle and natural, like walking through a forest or brushing against herbs in a garden. They evolve over time and tend to stay closer to the skin or linger gently in the air without overwhelming your senses or your space.

We design our fragrances to unfold gradually, creating a natural and atmospheric experience rather than a synthetic cloud. They may not smell as strong at first, but they last just as long and offer authenticity, complexity, and a true connection to the plants they come from.

Yes. All of our fragrances are phthalate-free and made without synthetic preservatives. We craft them in-house using only real plant ingredients — pure essential oils and whole botanical extracts. We choose not to use fragrance oils of any kind. Each ingredient is carefully selected to honor our commitment to creating authentic, plant-based formulations. Nothing is chemically reconstructed or designed to mimic nature.

All Wndrmade fragrances are crafted with pure essential oils and whole botanical extracts, offering a thoughtful option for those sensitive to synthetic fragrance. Our products are free from fragrance oils, whether synthetic or labeled as “natural,” as well as phthalates and chemical preservatives. While both essential oils and natural fragrance oils can contain naturally occurring allergens, we prefer to use whole plant materials in their true form, rather than oils that are modified, reconstructed, or standardized in a lab. Natural fragrance oils are often processed to isolate or amplify certain scent compounds, which can increase the potential for sensitivity and reduce the authenticity of the scent experience.

If you have allergies to specific essential oils, feel free to contact us. We’ll be happy to confirm whether any are used in a particular blend.

Our incense cones are made using only natural, raw ingredients such as wood resins. We never use synthetic fragrances, ensuring a pure and natural experience.
