Our Story | Alchemissi's Natural and Artisan Journey

Born in Istanbul in 2025 as the shared dream of two idealistic founders, Alchemissi emerged from the quest to produce healthy, entirely natural, and high-quality candles. One of our founders' health issues related to their immune system brought up the question, "How can a candle be produced that does not harm humans?" This question became the spark that initiated our brand's journey.

After approximately 9 months of training, extensive R&D efforts, and passionately conducted research, the Alchemissi brand, founded in March 2025, first offered its products for sale in December 2025. Today, our brand offers not just a product but a philosophy of life that redefines high consciousness, transparency, and what true luxury is.

Natural Ingredients, Harmless Production Approach

Alchemissi's greatest sensitivity: to produce products that do not harm humans or nature. In this regard, all ingredients are selected and processed meticulously to the highest quality standards.

When producing our candles, we use 100% natural, imported European-sourced Soy wax. We create the scents of our candles with 100% natural essential oils and European-sourced IFRA certified fragrance oils. We use 100% cotton or wood wicks for our candles. Our candle jars have metal lids that do not create toxicity with heat. Our products are 100% vegan and produced with ingredients not tested on animals.

Why IFRA?

IFRA (International Fragrance Association) is an organization that sets global standards for fragrance ingredients to ensure they do not harm human health. As Alchemissi, we attach great importance to all our essences and fragrance oils being IFRA certified. This ensures that our products are produced in a way that will not create any toxic effects through skin contact, inhalation, or airborne particles.

This approach guarantees that our candles not only emit pleasant scents but can also be used safely and peacefully. With this understanding, we produce all our candles in accordance with IFRA standards.

Harmless, Long-Lasting, and Transparent Production

• Soy wax is much healthier than paraffin candles, and its burning time is approximately twice that of paraffin candles.
• Even though they contain vegetable ingredients, we do not use stearic acid (hardener) in our candles because they mostly contain palm oil.
• Since plastic lids can create toxicity with heat, all our lids are metal.
• As blowing out candles is not the healthiest method, our candles are produced with lids, suitable for extinguishing in an enclosed environment. We recommend extinguishing our candles by closing their lids. The flame of the candle will extinguish itself a few seconds after closing the lid.
• All our products are handmade; this is one of the most important elements that reflect both quality and our brand's understanding of luxury.

Redefining True Luxury

Alchemissi is not just a commercial brand; it is an awareness brand that aims to remind us of conscious consumption, self-worth, quality, and effort.
We stand against products produced with cheap labor, sold at high prices, and creating a perception of "fake luxury"; we believe that true luxury lies in the effort, knowledge, sincerity, and transparency behind a product.

For us, luxury means:

• Producing with the highest quality ingredients,
• Creating the safest formulas through months of R&D efforts,
• Producing each product carefully with hand craftsmanship,
• Adopting the principle of full transparency, openness, and honesty towards the customer.

Contribution to Society and Responsibility

Alchemissi aims not only to offer healthy products but also to contribute to the society we live in. Therefore, the brand regularly participates in social responsibility projects and views creating social benefit as a corporate principle.

Our Future Vision

The Alchemissi journey, which started with candle production, will soon expand with room diffusers, natural soaps, and many other high-quality products produced with the same brand vision.

Our goal is to combine the most beneficial ingredients with the most aesthetic and elegant presentations, adding elegance, health, and consciousness to living spaces.
