It’s in Our Chemistry
Where Luxury Meets Scientific Sustainability
Our vision is to be the leading artisanal candle company that champions green chemistry and radical sustainability. We envision a world where the warmth and ambiance of a candle do not harm our planet or our well-being.
We see Chem Eco Luxe as a beacon of innovation, meticulously crafting exquisite and long-lasting candles that are as environmentally friendly as they are captivating to the senses.
Pioneering Eco Conscious Formulas
We will continuously research and develop candle formulas that minimize environmental impact at every stage, from sourcing to disposal. This involves prioritizing renewable resources, biodegradable ingredients, and non-toxic components, while always seeking the safest and most efficient chemical processes.
We will design our products and processes with the ultimate goal of zero waste. This includes exploring refillable systems, reusable packaging, and collaborations that allow us to recover and reuse materials, thus closing the loop on our production.
We believe in the power of transparency and education. Chem Eco Luxe will not only offer beautiful and sustainable products but will also empower our customers with knowledge about the principles of green chemistry and the positive impact of their choices. Our goal is to inspire a broader shift towards conscious consumption in the home goods industry.
Cultivating Community
We envision building a strong community around Chem Eco Luxe, fostering collaborations with like-minded suppliers, local artisans, and environmental organizations. By working together, we can amplify our impact and collectively drive innovation in sustainable practices.
Chem Eco Luxe differentiates itself from other small candle companies not only through its commitment to sustainability but also by combining scientific expertise with a deep understanding of environmental responsibility.
The founder's background is the cornerstone of this differentiation. Lianette holds a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, providing her with a deep understanding of chemical reactions, material properties, analytical methods, and reliable literature research methods. It's not just about blending ingredients; it's about understanding how they interact, optimizing combustion performance, scent diffusion, and, most importantly, safety.
She is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Cosmetic Science and Formulation Design. This field places a strong emphasis on ingredient safety, efficacy, and sustainable formulation. Lianette is being academically trained to select ingredients that are effective and safe for human health and the environment, applying her advanced knowledge of materials science, toxicology, and regulatory compliance to candle making.
Lianette has also worked as a Laboratory Chemist at a hazardous waste treatment company for over four years. This practical experience is invaluable, providing her with a first hand understanding of waste streams, environmental regulations, and the crucial importance of preventing pollution at the source. This commitment goes beyond theoretical sustainability; it is a profound dedication to minimizing environmental damage.
Our founder understands the potential risks of chemical misuse or mismanagement, further strengthening her dedication to green chemistry in candle production.
While many candle makers use soy wax, we specifically choose 464-45 Golden Soy Wax due to its high-quality blend and performance characteristics.
This wax offers a clean burn, excellent aroma diffusion, and a smooth finish, while also being renewable and biodegradable. Our chemical knowledge allows for an informed selection, as we understand the wax's composition and its interactions with other components.
Although natural cotton wicks are common, our scientific approach enhances our commitment to using non-toxic materials.
This ensures a cleaner burn and minimizes air pollutants that are often associated with conventional wicks.
This is a key differentiator for us. While many small candle companies rely on the claims made by fragrance oil suppliers, Chem Eco Luxe goes further by actively reviewing research and approvals from RIFM (Research Institute for Fragrance Materials).
Our choice of fragrances is intentional and well-informed, as we select fragrance oils only after they have received RIFM approval. This helps us eliminate potential irritants, allergens, and ecotoxicity. By consulting RIFM, Chem Eco Luxe proactively mitigates risks associated with fragrance ingredients, offering a level of safety that few small companies can match.
Chem Eco Luxe leverages the specific expertise of its founder to effectively implement Green Chemistry Principles. This includes the design of safer chemicals, the use of renewable raw materials, and the incorporation of reusable glass containers.
