About

Solas Detroit

Great endeavors launch in the kitchen (or basement, or garage). Legendary endeavors are wife approved and launch in a pandemic. So in 2020, with his wife Sarah's encouragement, Irish born, boldly and brightly bearded, over sized leprechaun Stephen Flavin combined a heart for social justice with a creative spirit. 

Solas Detroit is a family owned business based in Metro Detroit handcrafting eco friendly and socially conscious products.

The goal is to create clean, toxin free, products using ingredients and materials that are sustainable, repurposed, and/or manufactured domestically.

We want our products to be good for you, your family, and the environment; to support American workers; and to support organizations making the world a better place.

Solas Candles

Our candles are made with 100% American grown soy wax and cotton wicks. Absolutely no dyes, parabens, lead, or phthalates. They’re vegan (though you probably don’t want to eat them) and ingredients are animal cruelty free. All candles are hand poured in small batches. Containers are always either repurposed or, if new, made in America.

Solas Mission

Solas Detroit hand crafts products with a purpose; a socially conscious mission to reduce our carbon footprint by creating artisan products using sustainable methods and materials, and to support organizations that share our core values.

Here’s how:

• 10% of all sales goes to non profit organizations
• We only use 100% soy wax grown in the U.S.A.
• Products are free of parabens, phthalates and other dangerous toxins.
• Wicks are lead free and made from cotton.
• Candle containers are repurposed or, if new, made in the U.S.A.
• Jars and bottles are reusable after burning candles.
• We use kraft paper for labels and other paper purposes.
• We use suppliers that offer carbon neutral shipping.
• We ship with bubble wrap made from recycled material.
• Our packing peanuts are made from corn starch (and reused).
• We ship in biodegradable boxes made in the U.S.A
