A coconut and apricot kernel blend with a melt point suited to the Honolulu climate. We do not use paraffin, palm or fully refined soy wax.

All of our fragrance oils are phthalate-free, paraben-free, and compliant with IFRA category 12 (room scenting) guidelines. Full SDS sheets are available on request.
