Candles have always been a symbol of comfort—filling our homes with light, warmth, and fragrance. But what many pet parents don’t realize is that traditional candles often contain hidden ingredients that can disrupt the wellness of both people and pets. At Simply Whiskers, our mission has always been simple: to create candles that calm without compromise.
The Problem with Traditional Candles
Most candles on the shelves today are designed for quick fragrance and pretty packaging—not for long-term well-being. Many are made with:
-
Paraffin wax, a petroleum by-product that can release soot and toxins into the air.
-
Synthetic fragrances, which often overwhelm sensitive noses and may trigger irritation.
-
Artificial dyes and additives, added purely for aesthetics, not safety.
For us, that wasn’t good enough. A candle should never come at the expense of the health of those who share your home—including the ones with paws.
The Inspiration: Mochi & Milo
Our story begins with two dogs: Mochi and Milo. Their playful energy and gentle presence are what inspired Simply Whiskers. As their caretaker, our founder, Blaire, noticed how sensitive pets can be to strong fragrances and smoky burns. The realization was clear—if candles were affecting her dogs, they were likely affecting countless others.
What started as a passion project to protect them quickly grew into something larger: a candle company built on honesty, safety, and serenity.
The Simply Whiskers Difference
We reimagined the way candles should be made, starting with what truly matters:
-
Coconut wax base – clean-burning, longer-lasting, and eco-conscious.
-
Plant-based ingredients – free from paraffin, dyes, and hidden toxins.
-
Balanced scent profiles – designed to soothe, not overwhelm.
Every Simply Whiskers candle is hand-poured with the same promise: to bring comfort without compromise.
Why Pet-Safe Matters
Pets are part of the family, and their wellness deserves the same care as ours. Dogs and cats spend more time close to the floor, where air circulation is lowest—meaning they feel the effects of poor air quality even faster. Choosing a pet-safe candle means protecting them from unnecessary exposure while still enjoying the beauty of fragrance at home.
When you light a Simply Whiskers candle, you’re choosing peace of mind—for you and for them.
Every Candle, A Promise
Simply Whiskers is more than a candle brand. It’s a commitment to creating intentional spaces that honor the health of your entire household. From the first spark to the last flicker, our candles are designed to calm, not harm.
Because the ones you love deserve nothing less.
