The Power of Scent: Choosing Pet-Friendly Fragrances for Your Mind, Body & Soul

At Brooklyn Wicks Studio, we believe scent is more than just fragrance—it’s a way to create a calm, healthy environment for both you and your pets. Many traditional candles and skincare products contain harsh chemicals or essential oils that can be irritating to animals. That’s why we carefully select pet-friendly essential oils and clean fragrance oils that promote relaxation, balance, and overall well-being—without compromising your furry friends’ safety.

Why Scent Selection Matters

Scents have a direct impact on emotions, energy, and even physical well-being. The right fragrance can help reduce stress, improve focus, and create a sense of peace. However, if you share your home with pets, it’s essential to choose ingredients that are safe for both humans and animals.

At Brooklyn Wicks Studio, we use only pet-friendly, non-toxic essential oils and clean fragrances in our candles and natural skincare products. You can enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy while keeping your home a safe and soothing space for everyone.

How to Safely Use Pet-Friendly Essential Oils & Candles

While pet-safe essential oils and clean fragrances are a great way to enhance your home’s ambiance, it’s important to follow these best practices to ensure your pet's safety:

Candle Safety Tips for Pet Owners

• Keep candles out of reach – Place candles on high shelves or areas where pets can’t knock them over.
• Use well-ventilated spaces – Ensure proper airflow so scents don’t become overwhelming for pets.
• Never leave burning candles unattended – Pets are naturally curious and may investigate the flame.
• Opt for wood wicks or cotton wicks – These burn cleaner and reduce indoor air pollutants.

Essential Oil Safety Tips for Pets

• Use diluted essential oils – Avoid direct contact with pets' fur, skin, or paws.
• Diffuse responsibly – If using a diffuser, allow pets to leave the room if they find the scent overwhelming.
• Monitor your pet’s reaction – Watch for signs of sensitivity, such as sneezing, excessive licking, or avoiding the room.
