Sisters Heidi Cook and Robin Nelson, hailing from Gilroy, California, known as America’s garlic capital, must know about the power of pungent fragrances. They also know candles. Kokoro is a family business based upon the quality of 100% soy candles, completely handmade, unsurpassed in quality and based upon the fragrances evocative of human occasions: special and mundane.

Kokoro's candles equal uncompromising quality. They are handmade of 100% soywax, which burns thirty percent longer and cleaner than paraffin. These candles also are biodegradable and soy wax is a renewable resource. Kokoro uses cotton braided vegetable dipped wicks to complete this eco-friendly delight.

Kokoro donates a percentage of profits to environmental and marine preservation efforts. These contributions help fund research and conservation efforts and educational programs.
