Cera Pura Artesanal: Handcrafted Candles Supporting Projeto Raízes Vivas

Our Story & Values: Crafting with Purpose

Cera Pura Artesanal was born from a deep appreciation for the beauty of natural materials and the timeless art of candle making. Founded right here in São Paulo, our journey began with a simple desire: to create candles that were not only beautiful and fragrant but also clean-burning and sustainably sourced.

We meticulously select premium waxes, including soy and beeswax, and pair them with exquisite natural fragrances and lead-free cotton wicks. Each candle is hand-poured in small batches, ensuring quality and care in every step of the process. This dedication to craftsmanship is at the core of who we are.

Beyond the craft itself, we hold strong values regarding our impact on the world. We believe that businesses should be forces for good, contributing positively to both people and the planet. This belief led us to seek a partnership that aligned with our ethos.

That's why we are incredibly proud to support Projeto Raízes Vivas. Their work resonates deeply with our own commitment to artisanal quality, community well-being, and sustainable practices. By choosing a Cera Pura candle, you're not just bringing light and fragrance into your home; you're supporting a legacy of craftsmanship and contributing to a brighter future for vulnerable communities and traditional arts in Brazil.

Our mission is simple: to craft exceptional candles while illuminating the path towards positive social and environmental change. Join us in celebrating the power of artisanal creation and the impact we can make together, one candle at a time.

Igniting Change: Our Commitment to Projeto Raízes Vivas

Projeto Raízes Vivas is a vital organization dedicated to preserving Brazil's rich tapestry of artisanal crafts and empowering the communities that practice them.

Their mission extends beyond craft preservation; they focus on community development, providing educational resources and supporting environmental stewardship initiatives intrinsically linked to these traditional arts. From pottery makers in Minas Gerais to basket weavers in the Amazon, Projeto Raízes Vivas makes a tangible difference in the lives of individuals and the health of regional ecosystems.

Impact Story: Revitalizing Local Crafts

Thanks to contributions fueled by our partnership, Projeto Raízes Vivas recently established a new community workshop center in the interior of Bahia. This center provides local artisans, particularly women, with access to shared tools, training, and a safe space to create and collaborate. It's not just about preserving crafts; it's about building economic independence and strengthening community bonds. We are incredibly proud to play a part in making initiatives like this possible.
