Kalå FAQs | Functional Fragrance & Clean Candle Guide
What makes Kalå different from other candle brands?
Kalå was created to heal, not harm.
Most candles use paraffin wax and synthetic fragrance, releasing airborne toxins that affect hormones, mood and air quality.
Every Kalå candle is made with plant-based waxes, pure essential oils, and functional fragrance formulations - designed to actively support wellbeing and atmospheric wellness.
What is functional fragrance?
Functional fragrance is the science of using natural aroma compounds to influence the body and mind.
Each Kalå blend interacts with the limbic system, the part of the brain that governs mood, memory and hormonal response.
Lavender supports calm, rosemary enhances focus, and citrus uplifts energy — transforming scent into a wellness tool.
Are Kalå candles safe for hormones, children and pets?
Yes. Kalå candles are completely hormone-safe, non-toxic and free from paraffin, phthalates, parabens, sulphites and synthetic fragrance.
They’re formulated with clean, plant-based ingredients that are safe to burn around families and pets.
What are Kalå candles made from?
Our candles are crafted using:
- 100% plant-based waxes
- Therapeutic-grade essential oils
- Natural cotton wicks: No petroleum derivatives, no artificial dyes, no hidden chemicals.
Each candle burns cleanly, evenly and safely - leaving only clarity, not residue.
Why are synthetic fragrances harmful?
The term “fragrance” can legally hide thousands of unlisted chemicals, many of which are known endocrine disruptors and respiratory irritants.
These compounds can alter hormones and affect fertility in humans and pets.
Kalå uses only transparent, naturally derived essential oils — never synthetic fragrance or undisclosed blends.
What does “atmospheric wellness” mean?
Atmospheric wellness is the belief that the air we breathe directly influences our wellbeing.
Kalå creates harmony through clean air - using essential oils that support emotional balance, focus and relaxation while purifying your home environment.
Do Kalå candles purify the air?
Yes. Many of our essential oils — such as eucalyptus, lemon and rosemary — have natural antibacterial and antiviral properties that help neutralise odours and refresh stagnant air.
While no candle replaces fresh air, Kalå candles help create a cleaner, calmer atmosphere.
Are Kalå candles eco-friendly?
Absolutely. All ingredients are non-GMO, biodegradable and ethically sourced, and every candle is poured in recyclable glass.
We prioritise sustainability at every stage - from renewable waxes to minimal, recyclable packaging.
Where are Kalå candles made?
Kalå candles are designed and made in the UK, developed by aromatherapy specialists, and assembled by expert chandlers using wellness-grade materials.
Each candle is the result of collaboration between fragrance experts, wellness practitioners and candle makers who understand that atmosphere is everything.
How should I care for my Kalå candle?
- Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn
- Allow the first burn to melt the wax to the edge
- Limit each burn to 2–3 hours
- Keep away from drafts, children and pets
When finished, repurpose your vessel as a holder for flowers, herbs or rituals at home.
How long do Kalå candles burn?
Each candle burns for 35–40 hours depending on conditions.
Because we use only pure wax and essential oils, the burn is slow, clean and even with a subtle, steady scent throw.
What does “heal, not harm” mean?
It’s the principle behind everything we do.
Kalå was created to replace hidden toxins with functional wellness - products that cleanse the air, support the body and restore calm to the spaces we live in.
Do Kalå candles contain paraffin or phthalates?
Never.
Our formulations are 100% free from paraffin, phthalates, parabens, sulphites and synthetic fragrance.
You can trust that every Kalå candle supports clean air and hormonal harmony.
Is Kalå vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes - always.
Kalå is Leaping Bunny certified and proudly vegan. No ingredients or finished products are tested on animals, and no animal by-products are used.
Can candles really affect wellbeing?
Yes. Research shows that scent molecules trigger the limbic system, influencing emotional regulation, hormones, heart rate and memory.
Kalå’s blends are created to encourage calm, clarity and resilience - wellness through atmosphere.

How polluted is indoor air, really?
The average home is five times more polluted indoors than outdoors, largely due to synthetic candles, cleaning products and aerosols.
Kalå’s clean formulations help reduce that load replacing toxins with therapeutic natural compounds that truly support wellbeing.
