Our candles are formulated with 3 ingredients: beeswax, coconut wax and essential oils. “What’s the difference between essential oils and fragrance oils?” you might ask. In short, essential oils are naturally extracted directly from plant, whereas fragrance oils are manufactured in a lab with the intention of mimicking the scent notes of essential oils, but at a fraction of the cost. There are thousands of chemicals that make up fragrance oils, some of which are known carcinogens. Essential oils may also offer therapeutic benefits, such as improved sleep and reduced anxiety. Ingredient lists are not just limited to the foods we eat. We don’t believe in compromising when it comes to any aspect of our well-being, and neither should you. Think twice before you buy your next candle 🪔 #nurcandles_to

Came across some Toronto archive photos and felt the need to share. These photos were taken between the 60’s and 80’s. Dundas Square looks almost unrecognizable! Oftentimes, we get lost in our own daily concerns, and assume the world revolves solely around our generation. But studying some of these hauntingly beautiful pictures, we’re reminded of how small we really are in the grand timeline of the world. Many generations walked the same streets before us, and many will walk them long after we’re gone. Incidentally, these images invoke in us feelings of simpler times and better days, though that might just be the Golden Age Fallacy talking 😌 #nurcandles_to

We are genuinely grateful for 2021. It was our launch year, and the year we turned our vision into reality. While it might be easier to say “death to 2021”, we prefer to reflect on our happier memories shared with family and friends. We hope 2022 brings us all more health and wisdom🥂✨ #nurcandles_to

Involuntary memory is the term coined for the sub-component of memory that arises when signals encountered in daily events trigger recollections of our past without any deliberate effort. Of all our senses, smell in particular awakens vivid memories and emotions, arguably more than any other sense. This phenomenon is sometimes called the Proustian Effect, named after French writer Marcel Proust, who makes reference to a long forgotten childhood memory, which invades his body as he sips on tea and crumbs. At Nūr Candles, we solely use essential oils to curate our candle scents based on fond memories of home ✨ #nurcandlesto
