Ingredients
All of our products are handcrafted with high-quality, clean ingredients. We spend years testing to ensure we give you the best, non-toxic experience.
100% AMERICAN SOY WAX
Bougie Beach® vida utilizes 100% natural American soybean wax. Soy wax is a hydrogenated form of soybean oil which is extracted from soy bean plants, a natural, renewable and sustainable resource.
Soy wax produces zero petrol-carbon soot, which means no black residue on walls, drapes and home furnishings. Because soy wax is non-toxic and burns clean, it is safe for people with asthma & allergies. if a product doesn't say "100% soy wax", it may contain paraffin. Paraffin releases unwanted toxins into the air.
Pure soy means there will be imperfections in your candle. Some of these imperfections include frosting and lumpy resets after each burn. These imperfections do not impact the burning performance of the candle. Embrace these imperfections knowing you have a hand poured candle made using 100% pure soy wax.
PERFUMER'S ALCOHOL (Alcohol Denat)
For any type of spray, once a fragrance formula has been devised, the raw materials need to be added to a carrier. Perfumer's alcohol acts as a base material that “carries” the scent. An alcohol-based carrier carries the scent further versus an oil-based carrier.
Perfumer's alcohol typically has a very high alcohol content, often around 95% to 99% ethanol (ethyl alcohol), MAKING IT SANITIZING. THE high alcohol concentration helps to efficiently dissolve and disperse fragrance oils and other aromatic ingredients.
perfumer's alcohol is specially denatured, which means bitterants are added to make the alcohol undrinkable.
WITCH HAZEL
Witch hazel is a plant native to North America and some parts of Asia. It's often used for its medicinal properties, primarily extracted from the bark and leaves of the plant.
Witch hazel can act as an emulsifier in room spray recipes, helping disperse essential oils evenly throughout the spray mixture. Overall, using witch hazel in room spray can help improve the effectiveness and stability of the spray while providing potential benefits for the skin if it comes into contact with it.

POLYSORBATE 20
Polysorbate 20 is a common emulsifier and surfactant used in various personal care and household products. It belongs to a class of compounds known as polysorbates, which are derived from sorbitol (a sugar alcohol) and fatty acids.
Polysorbate 20 is primarily used as an emulsifier, meaning it helps blend together ingredients that would normally separate, such as oil and water. In skincare products like lotions, creams, and serums, it helps to ensure that oil-based and water-based ingredients mix evenly, resulting in a smooth and stable formulation.
