Strawberry Straits is a crisp, fruit-forward fragrance that opens with ripe strawberry and guava. Mango and passionfruit bring a soft tropical warmth, while a hint of peach adds gentle sweetness. It’s bright, easy, and quietly refreshing — like summer on the coast, with sun on your face and salt in the air.
Our Ingredients
Each candle is hand-poured using a proprietary soy wax blend made from non-GMO soybeans grown in the United States. Our wax is fully plant-based, biodegradable, and free from dyes, paraffin, palm, or coconut additives—delivering a clean, consistent burn grounded in sustainability and eco-conscious design.
We fragrance exclusively with premium oils that are phthalate-free, Prop 65-compliant, and certified to IFRA standards—underpinned by scientific evaluations from the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM). While some blends may include essential oils for complexity, we prioritise safety, consistency, and environmental responsibility over trend or marketing appeal.
Braided cotton wicks offer a steady flame and minimal soot. Amber glass vessels and tactile labels complete the composition, reflecting our low-waste ethos and enduring design values. Every element is selected for its integrity—supporting a candle that is as honest as it is refined.
Candle Care & Safety Guidelines
To ensure a safe, clean, and elegant burn, we recommend observing the following practices:
• Trim the Wick – Before each use, trim the wick to approximately ¼ inch to encourage a steady flame and reduce soot.
• Never Leave Unattended – Always burn your candle within sight. Keep away from drafts, children, pets, and flammable materials.
• Observe Burn Duration – Limit each session to a maximum of three hours. For the initial burn, allow the wax to fully liquefy across the surface to avoid tunneling.
• Mind Your Placement – Set your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from anything combustible.
• Extinguish with Intention – Use a snuffer to extinguish your candle gently and safely. Never use water to put out a flame.
• Know When to Retire – Discontinue use when approximately ¼ inch of wax remains to avoid overheating the vessel.
• Inspect the Glass – Cease burning if the glass becomes cracked, chipped, or noticeably hot to the touch.
Important: Failure to follow these precautions may result in fire, injury, or property damage. Burn responsibly.
Menai & Co. candles are crafted in accordance with ASTM F2417 (candle fire safety) and ASTM F2058 (candle labeling) to ensure the highest standards of safety and performance.
