Experience the Art of True Sustainability with CocoZen Candles.
“Embrace the Calm, Ignite the Zen.”
At CocoZen, we are dedicated to creating the highest possible quality products while holding true to our commitment to a cleaner, less toxic future. Our products are handmade in Mission Viejo, California from only 100% sustainable, natural and recycled materials, ensuring that every step of our process offsets our carbon footprint.
A portion of our proceeds goes to a carbon-negative investment portfolio, making us the only 100% carbon-neutral coconut shell candle. This also covers the CO₂ offsets for the journey to your home and the 35 to 40 hours of burn time. Be sure to follow the “Light to Life” guidebook included in the box or visit our Candle Safety page to get the most time with your candle.
What our candles are made of
Non-Toxic, Pure, Sustainable, and Quality Materials sourced locally.
- Coconut Shells: Our shells are saved from becoming fire kindling and are repurposed into elegant aromatherapy candles. Once the candle life ends, you can SAVE me again — clean me and repurpose me into a small bowl or cup. See the Light to Life Candle Guide included with your purchase or visit our Candle Safety page for step-by-step instructions.
- Manila Rope Ring: ½ inch thick all-natural Manila rope ring to set me on so I don’t tip over.
- Soy Wax: Locally sourced, organic soy wax providing a clean, long-lasting burn.
- Wood Wicks: Sustainably manufactured from Southern California’s retiring fruit trees that can’t bear any more fruit. These premium wood wicks are free from toxic oils, providing a better smokeless flame and producing a delightful crackling sound.
- Essential Oils: Our scented candles use the highest quality essential oils sourced locally from small businesses.
Natural and soft colors
For Lavender, Eucalyptus, Mid-Night Valor, and The Getaway scents, our candles stand out with beautiful colors derived from 100% organic food sources. We never use artificial colors or dyes, ensuring a safe and natural experience.
- Yellow: Turmeric Powder
- Green: Spirulina Powder
- Blue: Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Powder
- Lavender: Cabernet Sauvignon Grape Skin Powder
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our packaging
- Recycled Materials: Our packaging is made from recycled materials and is 100% recyclable.
- Cold-pressed recycled copper stamping on our premium box design.
- Black Algae and soy-based Ink: Utilized for printed materials and shipping labels.
- 100% compostable shipping bags: We place the box package inside a BPI-certified 100% compostable mailing bag.
Our Commitment to “Positive Climate Action”
The term “Positive Climate Action”, also known as climate-positive or carbon-negative, means going beyond net-zero emissions by removing more carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere than is emitted. While net-zero aims to balance emissions with removals, climate-positive seeks to create a net environmental benefit by removing additional CO₂.
How we do it
- Contribution to Sustainability: We allocate a portion of our proceeds to organizations focused on emissions reductions, reforestation, water waste filtration, and renewable energy initiatives.
- Total CO₂ Production Estimate: For a typical 40-hour soy wax candle with a wood wick, the estimated CO₂ production would be approximately 900–930 grams of CO₂. This value is an approximation.
- Total CO₂ Emissions for Shipping Ground: The CO₂ emissions for shipping 1 pound over 1,000 miles by truck would be approximately 110 grams of CO₂.
- Total CO₂ Emissions for Shipping Next-Day: For air freight, shipping 1 pound over 1,000 miles would produce approximately 590 grams of CO₂.
- CO₂ Neutral Portfolio: Visit our Climate Positive Portfolio page to view our complete and comprehensive carbon offset portfolio, showing the current amount of CO₂ we helped remove thus far with your help.
The Essence of Zen
We focus on attention to detail, crafting a truly unique and high-quality one-of-a-kind product that embodies what we feel the word Zen represents:
- Meditation: Promotes a meditative state and calmness.
- Intuition: Enhances intuition and peaceful living.
- Calm and Peaceful: Creates a serene atmosphere.
- Healthy Living: Encourages a healthy and mindful lifestyle.
