Mar Mar started as a sentimental quest for compelling home fragrance. Marissa Boswell wanted to create high-quality candles to light after dinner with friends. Mar Mar candles are poured locally in LA, working with Light 4 Life, an organization that partners with the exceptional childrens' foundation to provide jobs for adults with disabilities. They are made with a coconut wax blend composed of coconut, soy, vegetable wax and apricot oil. The coconut oil is non gmo, cruelty free and food grade certified, 100% paraben free and phthalate free.
