Social Entrepreneurship and Philanthrophy

At Ethnik Edge, we believe that business has the power to transform lives and communities. Our commitment to social entrepreneurship is woven into the fabric of who we are, guiding every decision we make. From crafting sustainable products to empowering the next generation, Ethnik Edge strives to bring light not only through our candles but also through meaningful initiatives that inspire and uplift.

Candles with a Heart and a Purpose

At Ethnik Edge, every candle tells a story and makes a difference. Proceeds from our Ethnik India, Year-Round, and Seasonal Collections support cancer-related wellness initiatives through two impactful Bucks County organizations: Still Rise Farms and Kin Foundation, spreading light and care in our local community.

Our Alka Joshi Collection, inspired by Six Days in Bombay, pledges a portion of proceeds to Room to Read, an organization championing literacy and gender equality across the globe.

These causes are deeply personal to our founder, Vai Haridas, and represent her unwavering commitment to creating a brighter world. Every candle you purchase positively impacts lives—right here in Bucks County and beyond.

Sustainability at the Heart of What We Do

Ethnik Edge candles are made with 100% organic soy wax, skin-safe fragrances, and locally sourced materials. We aim to create products that brighten your home and leave a minimal environmental footprint.

Our commitment to sustainability aligns with our broader vision of building a better future—one where business, community and the environment thrive together.
