Welcome
Our exquisite handcrafted candle collection is inspired by our rich and vibrant Filipino culture and explorations. We offer handcrafted, earth-friendly, and non-toxic candles made from coconuts offering a unique range of captivating fragrances, capturing the essence of Filipino botanicals, herbs, and culinary delights.
​
And at Santo + Hiraya, we hold a genuine conviction that candles hold the power to positively transform lives. Our motivation stems from a deep passion and a strong aspiration to help underprivileged children in developing countries through a charity organization. What began as a hobby has evolved into a way to assist not only these children but their families.
​
So whether you want to enhance the ambiance of a delightful dinner gathering, ignite passion in a romantic setting, or simply unwind during a leisurely Sunday afternoon, our candles are here to create the perfect atmosphere.​ Together, let's illuminate our lives and the lives of those less fortunate with the luminous beauty of Santo and Hiraya candles.
Our Collection
Our Premium Wooden Wick Coconut Wax Candles
Our luxurious handcrafted candles are non-toxic and earth-friendly. We meticulously hand-pour and create our candles in small batches using natural coconut wax.
Unlike traditional paraffin wax, coconut wax is a natural and renewable resource that surpasses even soy candles in terms of quality. Its clean and slow burn ensures a longer-lasting candle while minimizing the production of soot and toxins.
Our wooden wicks, made from sustainable sources, softly crackle as they burn, creating a soothing ambiance. The mica we use is candle-safe and adds a subtle glitter to the melted wax. We use premium quality fragrance oils to deliver a clean and delightful Philippines-inspired aroma that fills your living space.
​
All of these elements come together in an amber glass vessel with subtle multicolor accents, inspired by the rich and vibrant Filipino culture. Additionally, it is both recyclable and reusable. By choosing our candles, you not only illuminate your space but also embrace a healthier and more sustainable option.
