About Us
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 made from only sustainable 100% natural and recycled materials, ensuring that every step of our process offsets our carbon footprint.
A portion of my proceeds goes to a carbon-negative investment portfolio, making me a 100% carbon-neutral coconut candle. This also covers the CO2 offset for my journey to your home and my 35 to 40 hours of burn time. Be sure to follow the "Light to Life" guidebook I come with or visit our Candle Care page, to get the most time with me. Plus, there’s a section showing you how to repurpose me after my flame goes out.
You won’t find tacky gold foil leaves, or cheap crystals here; just guilt free aromatic elegance provided by nature and skilled artisans.
​
What we are made of: Pure, Sustainable, and Quality Materials.
​
-
Coconut Shells: Our shells are saved from becoming fire kindle, repurposed into elegant aroma therapy candles. Once our candle life ends, you can SAVE me again cleaning me and repurposing me into a small bowl or cup. See the Light to Life Candle Guide included with your purchase or visit our "Candle Care" 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.

Our Commitment to Carbon Neutrality and Beyond
​
The term “Carbon Neutrality” means achieving a balance between the amount of carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) emitted into the atmosphere and the amount removed or offset. In other words, it involves ensuring that the net carbon emissions of a process, organization, or individual are zero. This is often referred to as having a "net zero" or “carbon neutral” footprint.
​
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 COâ‚‚ Production Estimate: For a typical 40-hour soy wax candle with a wood wick, the estimated COâ‚‚ production would be approximately 900-930 grams of COâ‚‚. This value is an approximation.
-
Total COâ‚‚ Emissions for Shipping Ground: The COâ‚‚ emissions for shipping 1 pound over 1,000 miles by truck would be approximately 110 grams of COâ‚‚.
-
Total COâ‚‚ Emissions for Shipping Next-Day: For air freight, shipping 1 pound over 1,000 miles would produce approximately 590 grams of COâ‚‚.
-
COâ‚‚ Neutral Certificate: With every purchase, you'll receive a certificate of your carbon offset contribution for purchasing our product, this covers the COâ‚‚ emissions from shipping (ground or air) to the COâ‚‚ production from using the candle it self. We provide a QR code link on the certificate to our comprehensive carbon offset portfolio, showing the current amount of COâ‚‚ we helped remove thus far.
