Our Commitment to Clean Candles

The word "clean" is used a lot these days. For some, it's a trend. For us at MBur Candle Co., it's our entire reason for being. We started this company in New York City with a simple but uncompromising mission: to create a candle you can feel genuinely good about burning in your home.

But what does "clean" truly mean when it comes to a candle? For us, it's not just about a single ingredient. It's a holistic commitment that touches every single component of our product, from the wax to the wick and beyond.

This is our promise to you. This is what we mean when we talk about a clean candle.

1. It Starts with Clean Wax: 100% Pure Beeswax

We could have chosen cheaper, easier-to-source waxes. We chose the best. Our commitment to clean begins with 100% pure beeswax never a blend, never a compromise. Unlike petroleum-based paraffin, which can release toxins and carcinogens, beeswax burns cleanly as nature intended. It is a renewable resource and the only wax known to be a natural air purifier, making your home healthier with every burn.

2. A Clean Flame: All-Natural Wooden Wicks

A clean candle needs a clean flame. Our all-natural wooden wicks are sourced from sustainable mills in the USA and are never treated with chemicals. They provide a pure, consistent burn and that signature gentle crackle, without the risk of lead or other hidden additives found in lesser wicks.

3. Clean Fragrance: Phthalate-Free & Scientifically Sound

This is where our commitment runs deep. We are passionate about creating beautiful, complex scents like People Watching and Retail Therapy. But beauty can never come at the cost of safety. Our fragrances are always phthalate-free and formulated to the highest cosmetic-grade safety standards. We choose scientifically-tested fragrance oils over 100% essential oils because they are specifically designed to be stable and clean-burning, ensuring the scent you enjoy is safe and true, from first light to last.

4. Clean Design: Safety in Every Detail

Our commitment to clean extends to the physical design of our products. The extra-thick glass provides a durable, heat-safe vessel. The included lid offers a clean, smokeless way to extinguish the flame while protecting the wax from dust. Even our special safety clip, which ensures the candle extinguishes itself at the very end, is a testament to our belief that a product should be safe and thoughtful, through and through.
