Frequently Asked Questions.

Does INSPIRA test its products on animals?

At INSPIRA, we never have and never will test any of our products on animals. We test out products on ourselves, because we love them that much.

Do your bath + body products expire?

Our scrubs and body washes expire one year from the manufacture date, and our bath bombs expire six months after they are produced. INSPIRA babes will never have to worry, our products are shipped to you at their freshest. While their scent may fade over time, our artisanal bar soaps never expire.

Where are INSPIRA’s products made?

Our products are proudly handmade in a certified environment in Canada with love - always.

Are INSPIRA’s products GMO-free?

Our products are certified GMO-free. This means that the genetic makeup of the ingredients used in our products have not been altered and remain pure and natural.


How do INSPIRA candles differ from other candles?

All INSPIRA Candles burn clean, smokeless and sootless, using proprietary non-toxic premium formulated eco-soy wax. Our candles burn cleaner and longer with fragrances and dyes that are natural and non-toxic. Having our candles manufactured in Canada means we can maintain optimal levels of quality while ensuring the use of the best, safest ingredients available. We maintain this standard of excellence throughout the production process, while also ensuring our manufacturer provides fair, safe, and equitable working conditions to its employees.

Our candles are constantly tested to ensure their quality. In an effort to promote environmental responsibility and keep INSPIRA ethical, we are waste free and 100% Vegan as we do not test on animals or use any animal byproducts.

How long will an INSPIRA candle burn?

With proper candle maintenance, our 8.4oz Atelier INSPIRA Candles will burn for up to 42 hours. Our 4.5oz Wood Wick Candles will burn for up to 25 hours.

What is an Artisan Wood Wick Candle?

Wooden wicks are an innovative alternative to traditional cotton wicks. Wood wick candles provide for a safer, cleaner burn, a multi-sensory experience, improved capillary flow, inimitable visual ambiance, and a rare acoustic release.
