Whether you embrace the holiday with open arms or not, Valentine’s Day is upon us. At 1502 Candle Co., we’re excited to roll out our limited edition favorites again in the form of Champagne & Roses and Love Yourself candles.

or those of you who have been following 1502 Candle Co.’s recent posts, you know that we joined 1% for the Planet last March. This has allowed us to directly support the National Forest Foundation (NFF), spurring the change that we know our customers feel so passionately about.

It’s that time of year again. Gift-giving season is upon us and 1502 Candle Co. has got you covered. If you’re feeling thoroughly overwhelmed by your list (not to mention what to get each special somebody on it), we suggest you start here.

Back in March, we were excited to announce that 1502 Candle Co. had joined 1% for the Planet®. Now, we have partnered with the National Forest Foundation, a nonprofit that is dedicated to increasing the appreciation and protection of our vast, but threatened, national forests and grasslands. As Californians, we feel this is a particularly poignant time to turn our attention to ways we can protect our natural home and minimize disasters like destructive wildfires. Read on to learn more about what we’re doing and how you can help…

If you’re not familiar with the cult favorite Smoke Noir No. 06 at 1502 Candle Co., it’s time to change that. This candle is unexpected in its complexity and richness. Like so many of our top-selling fragrances, there’s something special about it that you can’t quite put your finger on–the perfect mysterious accompaniment to the ever-shortening days. Read on to learn more about the inspiration behind this unique product… 

1502 Candle Co. was founded with a simple set of values in mind. Now, more than ever, those values resonate with our customers and also a larger group that is eager to learn about ways they can protect the environment. Recycling is one of the simplest and most effective steps you can take and we wanted to take a minute to step back and make sure we’re all familiar with the basics. 

Where do we look at 1502 Candle Co. when we need ideas for our next new fragrance? Nature is one of our biggest sources of inspiration. And we love creating products that harness the intangible aspects of the seasons. But one thing that remains a constant source of joy in Southern California, where our company is based, is the ocean. 

One of the most frequently asked questions we hear at 1502 Candle Co. is how to clean out your candle. We take special care to use vessels that are as aesthetically pleasing as our fragrances are delightful (like our apothecary jars), so we’re happy to answer this one! 

Essential oils may be great for aromatherapy, but can they really be used to help clean your home? In fact, lemon, tea tree, rosemary, lavender, and peppermint essential oils are all naturally antibacterial, whereas many more, like orange, pine, and eucalyptus, are often major ingredients in less-natural cleaning products.

At 1502 Candle Co., we think every day should be Earth Day. But April 22 offers a special opportunity for us to celebrate the planet and think about ways we can make the world a healthier, greener space to live in. We take great care to create products in a way that is environmentally friendly, like using sustainable fabrication techniques and offering a recycle and refill program. Plus, we love creating products inspired by luscious smells that can only be found in nature. Last month, we re-released our limited edition Cannabis Flower & Earth candle. Read on to hear more about our inspiration for this customer favorite… 

At 1502 Candle Co., celebrating and protecting the environment have always been at the forefront of what we stand for. Our fragrances are inspired by nature and our products are created in a way that is environmentally responsible and sustainable. Now, we are excited to announce that we have expanded our initiative by becoming a member of 1% for the Planet®.
