Brand Description: 
Nidore produces fragrances free of harmful chemicals, vegetable waxes, phthalates, vegan, and cruelty-free. Were you aware that commercial candle smoke is as dangerous as cigarettes? Toluene (C6H5CH3) and benzene (C6H6) in the formulation can cause cancer, asthma, and skin irritation. Most candles on the market use paraffin, a petroleum byproduct that's inexpensive and requires only a small amount of essence to produce a strong fragrance. nidore crafts safe and secure products using soy-free coconut and rapeseed vegetable waxes, phthalate-free fragrances, and no other harmful chemicals.

Sustainable:

• Every product is handmade and produced in small batches, ensuring the highest quality with no waste.

Reliable Ingredients:

• All nidore products are vegan and cruelty-free, sourced from within the EU with a guarantee of no animal testing. *Cruelty-free: No animal testing is conducted on the products at any stage before they reach the consumer.

Commitment to nature:

• nidore dedicates 10% of its profits to protecting and planting giant trees in Portugal, giving back to nature what it receives.

Waxes:

• Coconut and rapeseed wax: The wax used in nidore candles is 100% vegetable-based, employing natural, degradable ingredients. Rapeseed originates from Germany, and coconuts from the sustainably produced Philippines and Indonesia, avoiding deforestation or animal collection.

Transformation:

• Coconut and canola are processed into pure oil, then treated at low temperatures to become an organic wax free of chemicals, additives, and paraffin, a non-renewable component.

Benefits:

• It leaves no black stains on glass, produces no toxic substances like toluene (C6H5CH3) and benzene (C6H6), and has a low melting point, lasting about twice as long as paraffin-based candles. With melted wax never exceeding 50°C, it's also very safe.

Why not soybeans?

• Unlike other small-scale producers, nidore avoids using soy wax due to uncontrollable soy cultivation and its unsustainable nature causing deforestation.

Wick and Flavorings:

• Wicks: nidore uses eco-sustainable wicks made of cotton and hemp threads, unlike mass-produced wicks containing lead to maintain vertical threads. Their process, strengthened by hemp, is shortened by hand.
• Flavors and Fragrances: Only phthalate-free, vegan, cruelty-free fragrances developed in England and France are used. Essential oils are avoided as they're believed to consume more resources than synthetic fragrances.

Difference:

• Many mass-produced candles contain synthetic dyes and fragrances with phthalates, potentially affecting liver, lungs, kidneys, and reproductive function. While banned for children's toys, phthalates are permitted in candles.

Safety and Regulations:

• All nidore products comply with strict EU regulations enforced on products containing chemical elements.

Containers and Packaging:

• Why aluminum cans? nidore uses aluminum, a 96% recyclable material. These cans have versatile reusability beyond just candles, serving as pots for succulents, accessories, pen holders, etc. The uses are endless.
• Why not glass? Glass, though recyclable, decomposes slower than aluminum and increases CO2 emissions due to its heavier weight during transportation.

The Method:

• Carefully, by hand: Every candle is handmade in small quantities, eliminating waste and ensuring the sold candles' quality. The entire process, from start to finish, occurs in nidore's studio without machine intervention.
• Zero waste: Even items deemed impossible to use are repurposed. Sometimes, unsold wax is transformed into nidore's tiny candles.
