Collection: Our Sustainability Story

Why Soy Wax Matters

At RePete Candle & Home, we're committed to creating candles that are better for you and better for the planet. Here's what makes our candles different:

🌱 100% Natural Soy Wax

Unlike paraffin candles (which are petroleum-based), our soy wax is a renewable resource that burns cleaner and longer. Soy candles produce up to 90% less soot than paraffin, keeping your indoor air quality healthier.

💚 Phthalate-Free Fragrances

We use only phthalate-free fragrance oils because your health matters. Phthalates are chemicals linked to hormone disruption and respiratory issues - you won't find them in our candles.

👩💼 Woman-Owned Small Business

We're a proud woman-owned business based in Warsaw, Illinois, supporting our local community and creating jobs right here at home.

✋ Hand-Poured in Small Batches

Every candle is carefully hand-poured in small batches to ensure quality and attention to detail. No mass production here - just artisan craftsmanship.

♻️ Reusable Glass Jars

Our beautiful glass jars are designed to be reused. Once your candle is finished, clean out the jar and use it for storage, plants, or anything else you can imagine.

🕯️ Cotton Wicks

We use natural cotton wicks for a clean, even burn - no lead, no zinc, just pure cotton.

🤝 Community Giving

We believe in giving back. Through fundraisers and community partnerships, we support local organizations and causes that matter.

When you choose RePete, you're choosing quality, sustainability, and community.
