*fragrance is composed primarily of essential oils, but may contain up to .05% nature identical fragrance. red flower has taken the time and care to seek out compounds found in nature to create scents that are 100% toxin free. these phytochemicals are an active plant substance, much like lycopene or beta-carotene, that are drawn out using an extraction process. the nature identical compounds found in a very few of red flower’s products are non-petrochemical, containing no phthalates (dep or dehp), neurotoxins or synthetic musks. the concentration of these phytochemicals and nature identical fragrances is never more than 0.05%.

intensely scented petals are pure and alive and free. Toss them into a hot bath with drops of oil and swim through flowers. Make offerings in small copper bowls or in big glass urns. Drop them into a drawer of sachets. Slip them into letters and words and into the quiet of temples called home. or simply find a breeze and cast them in. wait for their return. listen. everything that is memory matters. true indulgence is personal and takes a lifetime.

caution: remove flowers before lighting. Never leave burning candle unattended. Always keep burning candle out of direct drafts. Keep out of reach of children. To maximize burn time and minimize sooting, remove char and trim wick before each use. Do not burn too close to wall or without ample overhead clearance. during use glass may become warm.
