Frequently Asked Questions.
Does INSPIRA test its products on animals?

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.

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.
