Sapphic Flame ~ Handmade Candle inspired by Sappho for LGBTQ+ Youth Support
from $19.00

We opened our doors in October 2025. Our first donations to the causes we support will be made on December 31, 2025, made possible by every candle you’ve brought into your home.

Here’s how your purchase makes a difference:

💛 Donations

Every online order contributes $1 to RAINN, the nation’s largest nonprofit supporting survivors of trauma. This steady, per-order donation ensures that each purchase, no matter the candle, helps fund crisis support, advocacy, and healing.

Donations are distributed quarterly, allowing our small, growing apothecary to give consistently while honoring the sustainability required to keep our craft alive. This rhythm creates a reliable current of support, flowing outward in quiet, meaningful waves throughout the year.

🕯️ In addition, every candle in the Candles for a Cause Collection donates $1 to the cause it honors. Simple. Consistent. Impactful.
