Tribe & Oak

Our name was derived to represent our values. Tribe represents our commitment and participation to our community. Oak represents strength, being rooted, and our strong connection to nature.

All of our products are vegan, eco-friendly, cruelty-free, not tested on animals, and hand-crafted. We use organic materials wherever possible (Hand Sanitizers, Body Butter), we use oils that are phthalate-free, and sourced recyclable materials for packaging. We acknowledge that we can always do more and have a goal of becoming carbon neutral in the near future.

We use wooden wicks from FSC certified wood, which means that it comes from a responsibly managed forest that provides environmental, social, and economic benefits. Besides the fact that wooden wicks are a sustainable material, they will consume your candle at a slower rate and burn for a longer period of time. The added bonus is the crackling sound as the wick burns, it makes you feel like you are by a campfire.

When you burn the candle, you may see some bumps or an uneven surface, this is perfectly normal. This is a typical occurrence with soy wax and we use soy wax in our blend. There is absolutely nothing wrong, but only a reminder that this candle is derived from natural materials. You are safe to keep burning your candle and enjoy the beautiful fragrance.

In our research, we wanted to be mindful of our environmental impact, as well as using materials that are safe for pets and humans. We discovered that paraffin wax was derived from petroleum, oil, and slate and wasn't sustainable. Although beeswax is a natural wax, it isn't vegan, so we decided that wasn't the best material for us. We decided on a Coconut- Soy wax blend that we make ourselves. This was important to us so that we could control the blend percentage and get the best quality product using sustainable materials. It produces a clean burn, so you don't have to worry about soot ruining your furniture and It has a superior scent throw

We offer various candle sizes for versatility. Our 22oz candle is a big double wick beauty for a lover who wants their favorite scent to last a while. Our 11oz candles are a long-lasting option for homes and apartments, which will bring you joy each time you light them up! Our votive candles are an excellent option as a travel candle that can spruce up any environment, such as an office or hotel room. Our discovery kit is excellent for a gift or to sample out all of the seasons offerings all in one.

Wash in warm water with grease fighting dish soap very well. Make sure to remove all wax and wax residue from the inside and outside of the glass. After the glass is clear, allow to dry and recycle into another use.

Because our products are all natural, we encourage customers to use them within a 6-month time period. All of our hand-crafted products are made without added chemicals.

The fragrance throw is the strength of scent that you smell when the candle is unlit and lit. We use our own special Coconut Soy wax blend and it has a superior scent throw. We are sure to mix the right percentage of oils in the wax and cure our candles for a minimum of 2 weeks for all of the ingredients to bond and create a wonderful fragrance for our customers.

When we package all orders, we tightly pack to prevent breakage and we use added reflective bubble wrap in the warmer months or when sending items to warmer regions. Unfortunately, we can't control the weather, so please note that our Coconut Soy wax used in our candles has a lower melting point than some other waxes. Be warned that this is an uncontrollable risk when purchasing ANY soy and/or coconut blend candles in higher temperatures. For all other products, please just give it a light shake and store at room temperature upon receipt.
