This April we are celebrating earth month with Riau Canada, a Montreal-based brand that is socially committed to making hand-crafted and eco-friendly candles. 

Riau is a Canadian company committed to helping out the community and the planet all at once. Riau has a mission and that mission is to help marginalized families in need who need help getting back on their feet and back into the community. The brand works with organizations that help people who have gone or are going through difficult times find jobs and get hired in their community. With the help of these companies and the support from Riau, families are about to reintegrate back into the labour market and find steady and stable jobs that can support them, and their families and build the community around them. 

Besides helping out communities of people, Riau’s main interest is Candle making, and to celebrate earth month we are going to share some of Riau’s most popular scents. Riau is named after the islands in Indonesia, and many of the scents that the brand has created are scents and smells that represent what it is like to be on the island. 

Riau’s candles are made from 100% premium soy wax, which includes fragrances from essential oils that are certified vegan, paraben-free and do not contain phthalates that are harmful to you and the environment. 

Some of the most popular scents are Coffee and Cream and Canada True North, which Coffee and Cream is a wake-up scent that smells like freshly ground coffee, a touch of milk and topped off with brown sugar. Coffee and cream are made up of 100% soy wax and are vegan.
