About our Candles

Handcrafted with Care, Inspired by Home

La Flamme Du Bois began with a simple goal: to create candles that feel as good as they smell—beautiful, clean-burning, and safe for your space. As a mom and small business owner, I wanted something I could light around my family with confidence. That’s why every candle we make is thoughtfully crafted using 100% soy wax and crackling wood wicks—a combination that’s as sustainable as it is soothing.

Why Soy Wax?

We chose soy wax for its many benefits:

Clean-burning: Unlike paraffin, soy wax doesn’t release harmful toxins into the air.

Better for allergies and sensitivities: It produces less soot and fewer pollutants.

Longer burn time: You get more hours of cozy light and calming scent per candle.

Eco-friendly: Made from renewable soybeans and biodegradable, it’s better for your home and the planet.

Why Wood Wicks?

There’s nothing quite like the gentle crackle of a wood wick—it brings an extra layer of ambiance to your space. But beyond the mood:

Clean and efficient burn: Wood wicks burn evenly, reducing waste and smoke.

Air quality matters: Our untreated wooden wicks are non-toxic and free of heavy metals or additives.

Sustainably sourced: We only use FSC-certified wood to ensure responsible forest management.

More Than Just a Candle

Our candles are created to help you pause, unwind, and reconnect. Whether it’s part of your nightly routine or a gift for someone you love, lighting one of our candles is meant to bring a little more comfort and calm into your day.

Thank you for supporting our small business—we’re so happy to be part of your home.
