WHAT ARE YOUR CANDLES MADE WITH?
We make our candles with natural, American-grown soy wax, essential oils, and clean-burning fragrance oils. In addition to even stricter standards, the fragrance oils we use in our candles are 100% phthalate-free, are in full compliance with all IFRA standards, and contain no materials that require a prop 65 label. 

WHY BROWN FOX COLLECTIVE? 
It's so funny to us that people ask this! We never thought we'd get asked when we named the company, and now when we do we realize that yeah, our name does seem kind of random, and actually has a long story! ... The two of us began as friends, who then started creating some slow arts together. We were ready to form a business, however, when we briefly took up font-making, Kirsten having experience in the creative/design world, and Blair having excellent handwriting. So we started a company and named it Brown Fox Fonts, after the pangram "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog," that we of course learned in our early days of Mavis Beacon and Oregon Trail circa 1995. Font creation did not last long, however. Slow crafts did, candle-making stuck, and Brown Fox Fonts became Brown Fox Collective.
