nominal. the best word to hear before countdown to launch. it means everything is working perfectly, all elements are up to spec, and performance is expected to be ideal. that’s when you know you’re ready.

here in Rocket City, we’ve all seen our fair share of launches. in many ways, launching a candle company is similar. years of research, design, testing, and analysis. and sometimes even some scrubbed launches. but with enough effort and determination, eventually the tests finally work. all systems nominal. ready for launch.

—————————————————————

making candles is both a science and an art, and I wanted to make something that honors both. I wanted to make the most scientifically clean candles I could make, while creating an aesthetic that references the space exploration that defines this region and inspires generations. It’s just me in a small studio, so I knew it would be difficult. but we’ve never let that stop us from reaching for the stars before.

I hope that you join the mission and get to experience this journey with me. experience candles made with 100% natural coconut soy wax, and unique phthalate-free fragrances that are Prop-65 compliant without requiring a warning label. I don’t use CMRs and all wicks are natural and nickel-free. no shortcuts here, everything’s nominal.
