Litterly Pet Friendly Wickless Candles

100% Pure Vegan Soy Wax: Clean-burning, renewable, and completely free of petroleum byproducts.

Curated Fragrance Integrity: Formulated strictly without paraffin, phthalates, parabens, carcinogens, or volatile essential oil irritants. Each blend is consciously crafted at gentle, ambient concentrations designed specifically for well-ventilated pet homes.

Flame-Free Safety: Designed specifically for candle warmer lamps—zero open flames, zero soot, and zero smoke in your living space.

Artisan Fresh: Hand-poured on demand. For the strongest, most room-filling aroma, we recommend letting your wax cure for 2 weeks before warming.

Every batch is crafted completely free of the usual industry shortcuts:

• Paraffin Wax: Standard petroleum wax releases airborne VOCs like benzene. Our 100% plant-based wax melts completely clean.
• Phthalates: Common fragrance extenders that disrupt endocrine systems and stick to pet fur during grooming.
• Parabens or Carcinogens: Synthetic preservatives that trigger respiratory allergies and organ stress in small animals.

Unlike most candle makers, we did not stop there. Our formulas also exclude:

• Citrus Terpenes: Citrus compounds (like d-limonene) that cats cannot metabolize due to missing liver enzymes.
• Spice Phenols: Heavy cinnamon/clove compounds that cause airway inflammation and distress in felines.

• Paraffin Wax: A petroleum byproduct created during the crude oil refining process.
  Why standard candles use it: It is extremely cheap to manufacture and holds heavy artificial fragrance loads.
  The impact on pets: When warmed or burned, paraffin can release toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like toluene and benzene into the air. Pets—especially cats and birds—have sensitive respiratory systems that can react to these airborne chemical byproducts.

• Phthalates: Chemical plasticizers used to extend the shelf life and scent throw of synthetic fragrance oils.
  Why standard candles use them: They make scents last longer on store shelves for less money.
  The impact on pets: Phthalates are known endocrine disruptors. Pets groom their fur constantly, meaning any airborne residue that settles on their coat can be ingested during daily grooming.

• Parabens & Carcinogens: Synthetic preservatives used to prevent mold or discoloration in wax and oil blends.
  Why standard candles use them: They increase product shelf stability during long transit and warehouse storage.
  The impact on pets: Prolonged exposure to synthetic preservatives and carcinogenic additives can trigger chronic respiratory irritation, skin allergies, and long-term toxicity in small animals whose organs process toxins much slower than ours.

• Citrus Terpenes (d-Limonene: Naturally occurring aromatic compounds extracted from citrus peels, commonly added to "fresh" or "clean" scented oils.
  Why standard candles use them: They provide a sharp, bright citrus aroma that masks odors quickly.
  The impact on pets: Cats lack the specific liver enzymes (glucuronyl transferase) required to metabolize citrus terpenes. Airborne exposure or skin contact can cause respiratory distress, drooling, or lethargy in felines.

• Spice Phenols (Eugenol, Cinnamaldehyde): Heavy aromatic compounds found in cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and heavy spice fragrances.
  Why standard candles use them: They create warm, cozy fall and holiday fragrance profiles.
  The impact on pets: Similar to citrus terpenes, spice phenols are difficult for a cat's liver to process and break down. Concentrated airborne phenols can cause airway inflammation or central nervous system sensitivity in cats and small pets.
