This is something I’ve always known and have never used in our products — and it’s time to talk about it 💬
Mica powder. You’ve seen it — that beautiful shimmer in soaps, candles, and cosmetics. It looks luxurious. But do you know how it gets to us? 🧐
Children as young as four and five years old are mining mica in India and the Middle East — in dangerous, unregulated conditions — so that it can end up on a store shelf. The U.S. Department of Labor has documented this. The research is there. And once you know, you can never unknow it. ✍🏾
At Seemy Candles we made a decision from day one — we will never use mica powder in any of our products. Not because it isn’t beautiful. But because luxury should never come at the cost of a child’s safety, health, or childhood. That is not a trade we are willing to make. Ever!❌
Eco-friendly, non-toxic, and ethically conscious isn’t just our brand. It’s our standard. 🤍
We invite you to research, ask questions, and hold every brand you support — including us — accountable. That’s how we create change together🌱✨
