Each candle has a wood wick that creates a clean burn and a crackling ambiance.
The candles are made with a blend of plant-based coconut wax and vegetable wax, ensuring that they are free from harmful chemicals and toxins. The use of a wood wick in each candle provides a clean burn and a crackling ambiance that adds to the sensory experience.

Kesha’s Space (Brown Sugar by Kesha Janaan)
Taking care of our skin and hair is important, especially during harsh weather conditions. Don’t let the winter cold and wind ruin your skin and hair any longer. Stay stunning all year long with natural skincare from Brown Sugar by Kesha Janaan. Brown Sugar has been introducing consumers to the world of skincare since 2012.
