🕯️ Lighting Up Dolphin Conservation: The Bottlenose Candles Mission

A Love Letter to Dolphins: Supporting Conservation with Every Candle

🌊 Mission in Practice: Scenting with Purpose

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Bottlenose Candles isn’t just a candle company; it’s a brand born from a love for both beautiful scents and our dolphin family. Our tagline, “Helping our Australian Dolphins one candle at a time,” captures a heartfelt commitment: $1 from every candle sold is donated to Dolphin Research Australia
.

Our own words reveal this origin: “When we started Bottlenose … with a love of our dolphin family, we wanted to ensure that we were giving back.”

What makes Bottlenose Candles stand out?

• Every sale directly supports marine conservation via tangible donations to Dolphin Research Australia.

• We champion Australian-made, artisan-crafted soy candles, emphasizing sustainability and ethical production.

• The brand aligns with multiple values: Australian made, woman-owned, handmade, and natural ingredients.

  
  

By merging sensory delight with support for dolphin research and protection, our mission resonates from product to purpose.

🐬 Dolphin Research Australia: The Cause Behind the Candle

Dolphin Research Australia is a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to increasing knowledge and conservation of dolphins, whales, and marine habitats through research, education, and advocacy. Their work is crucial—Australian dolphins face threats from pollution, habitat degradation, climate change, fishing bycatch, and human disturbance in coastal areas. Bottlenose Candles’ contributions feed into meaningful marine protection efforts.

✨ How Our Mission Shapes the Brand Story

Here’s how our mission expresses itself across every facet:

1. Product Impact

Each candle is a dual-purpose purchase—fragranced ambience at home and a financial boost to dolphin conservation. For example, the Seaside S’Mores candle captures beachside nostalgia and supports marine research with every fragrant flicker.

The brand emphasizes:

• Soy wax for cleaner, sustainable burning.

• Locally made and designed in Australia with artisanship.

• Women-led—supporting diverse entrepreneurship.

  
  

2. Educational Bridge

Through storytelling and partnerships, we raise awareness about dolphins' lives and vulnerabilities—turning customers into conscious supporters.
