Inspiration & Social Impact
In 1932, a golden rhino artifact was discovered in the ancient Kingdom of Mapungubwe, Africa. The Black Gold collection honors Africa’s natural wealth and the royalty of its first kingdoms. It also pays homage to the endangered wildlife of the African continent. A rhino adorns the packaging as a tribute to the ancient African kingdoms.

Use & Care
Place your candle on a heat resistant surface before lighting.
Trim the wick slightly before each burn to help maintain an even flame.
Allow the wax to melt to the edges during use for a more even burn.
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable objects.
Our premium soy blend's high-fragrance load can naturally develop bronze sheens on glass—a signature of hand-poured South African artistry. Perfectly safe, no performance impact.
