Reuse First - Ultra-Eco Candles, Greeting Cards and Jotters
PRETTY NEAT STUFF
At Reuse First, all of our products are handcrafted from locally sourced, reused materials. We collect the paper for our jotters and greeting cards from various Chicagoland businesses, our candle wax is made from local soy, and the beer and liquor bottles for our candles are from local bars and folks that donate to us.
WHY DO WE USE SOY WAX IN OUR CANDLES?
-Soy is a renewable resource, unlike petroleum.
-Soy wax does not emit toluene and benzene, toxic chemicals found in paraffin wax, into the air.
-The soy wax we use supports Midwest farmers
-Soy wax is 100% biodegradable
-Soy wax burns cooler and slower than paraffin wax.
We use pure cotton wicks instead of zinc core wicks and phthalate-free scents to ensure our candles are as health-friendly as possible.
…
We also do custom candles, so you can bring in that super pretty bottle that means something special to you.
When you finish burning your Reuse First candle, you can schedule an appointment to drop the container off at our studio, choose a new scent and pick it up within two weeks.
