Jade Candle Co

After successfully getting Jade’s skin back on track with changes to her nutrition, coat products, and medication I still noticed occasional flare-ups. Jade's vet brought up something interesting - take a look at what household or scented products are used in her presence. Which if you knew the relationship Jade + I had, you'd know there wasn't one spot Jade wasn't allowed to lay in (bed, sofa, it was all her home). This means the detergent I was using, the plug-in's I had on the walls, the cleaning products I used, and the freshening products I used daily could have been the trigger. This deep dive had me learning about our almost non-existent candle regulations, and the reasoning behind why 'scented products' are typically toxic and/or provoke allergies. Sadly as many of the big brands do, they infuse cheaper ingredients in order to keep cogs low. For fragrances, this could include fillers that contain micro-plastics, reproductive toxins, and carcinogens.

With lots of time, testing, and constant over-thinking - we are here. Although my Jade is in heaven now, I'm forever grateful for her. She is the reason for the curiosity, and the transparency we could now give to our community.
