Starlight Essentials: Where Passion Meets Science
Starlight Essentials is the culmination of a passion for fragrance and quality craftsmanship. I embarked on this journey over five years ago, transforming a love for creating beautiful soaps, bath & body products and candles into a thriving small business. Built by hustle and artistry, I am the creative soul behind everything you see. Together, we bring quality and passion to every thing we do! In building this business, I was driven by a desire for a cleaner approach to everyday products. I strive to use ingredients that are natural or "close-to-nature" as possible while still indulging in the whimsy of fragrance we all love. During my research, I discovered exciting changes within the fragrance industry. They are now creating clean fragrances that are free of phthalates (hormone disruptors), mutagens, carginogens, reproductive toxins, organ & acute toxins—making it possible to enjoy beautiful scents without compromising on safety. My mission is to bring you products made with clean ingredients and the safest fragrances available, so you can indulge worry-free. Leading this charge was a supplier called CandleScience. You can read more about their progress in developing "CleanScents" here. Many suppliers have followed suit in developing their own clean versions of fragrances. So nice to have choices we can trust. In building this business, I was driven by a desire for a cleaner approach to everyday products. That's why I use clean, "close-to-nature" ingredients as possible while still indulging in a little whimsy of fragrance. You can feel confident choosing our products, thoughtfully crafted to suit every lifestyle, preference, and budget. Proudly woman-owned, rooted in quality. “You will shine among them as stars in the sky as you hold fast to the word of life.” Philippians 2:15b-16
