These candles are made from plant-based wax like sumac, rice bran, and canola oil. They are eco-friendly, burn cleanly, have a light natural wax scent, and produce little smoke or odor.

The candle wick is made by wrapping dried rush (a plant from the Juncaceae family) around a wooden or bamboo stick covered with rolled washi paper. The hollow wick allows air to flow and absorbs melted wax efficiently, creating a large, flickering flame.
