When I created NEOS Luxury Home Fragrance, I knew I wanted it to be more than just a beautiful candle brand. I wanted it to stand for something — for care, quality, and conscious choices.
Every candle I handcraft is a reflection of those values, and that’s why I’ve made a firm commitment to using only the cleanest, safest ingredients.
One of the most important decisions I made early on was to ensure that all NEOS products are phthalate-free and paraben-free. These two ingredients are found in so many mainstream candles and home fragrances, but I truly believe we deserve better — for our homes, our health, and our peace of mind.
What Are Phthalates and Parabens, and Why Don’t I Use Them?
Phthalates are chemicals often added to fragrances to make them last longer. Unfortunately, they’ve been linked to potential health concerns, including hormone disruption and respiratory irritation. I simply didn’t want those kinds of risks associated with my candles — especially when they’re meant to create a sense of calm and comfort in your home.
Parabens are commonly used as preservatives, but they’ve also raised red flags in recent years because of their ability to mimic oestrogen and potentially disrupt hormones. That was enough for me to say no — especially since I knew I could create luxurious, high-performing candles without them.
What Makes NEOS Candles Different?
Choosing to go phthalate- and paraben-free wasn’t just about removing harmful ingredients — it was about redefining what luxury should feel like. Here’s what that means for you:
1. A Safer, Cleaner Burn
When you light one of my candles, I want you to breathe easy — literally. No hidden toxins, no chemical-laced fragrance. Just pure, elegant scent made from premium, carefully chosen materials.
2. Kind to Sensitive Noses
I often hear from customers who struggle to find candles they can actually enjoy due to allergies, sensitivities, or simply wanting something more natural. That’s exactly why I do what I do — so you can have fragrance that feels indulgent and safe at the same time.
3. Better for the Planet
I care deeply about the footprint my brand leaves behind. By staying away from harsh additives, I’m also reducing the environmental impact of my products. It’s a small but meaningful step toward more sustainable luxury.
4. A Commitment to Quality You Can Trust
For me, true luxury isn’t just about how a product looks — it’s about how it’s made. Every NEOS candle is handcrafted with intention, love, and a belief that elegance should never come at the cost of your wellbeing.
Thank You for Choosing Clean Luxury
It means the world to me that you choose NEOS to scent your home. I know there are many options out there, but when you choose a NEOS candle, you’re choosing something that’s been thoughtfully made from start to finish. No phthalates. No parabens. Just pure, handcrafted luxury you can feel good about.
