Our story
Clearbase Aroma Guild began as a Saturday scent swap in a tiny studio. Makers arrived with soy, beeswax, and coconut-apricot experiments, and left with practical feedback and new friends. Today our Guild delivers structured, science-based courses that keep the playful heart of those early meetups.
Mission
Empower makers to create safe, expressive candles and build sustainable brands—without hype or shortcuts.
Values
- Community before competition
- Evidence over guesswork
- Playful, coral-and-amber energy
Promise
We teach techniques and frameworks—never inflated claims. Your craft, your pace.
Milestones
We hosted weekend pours and troubleshooting jams that later shaped our curriculum.
We launched remote workshops with mailed lab kits and structured testing protocols.
We grew into an international community while keeping sessions warm and practical.
