Nette
Launched in December 2020, Nette fulfills a promise owner and CEO, Carol Han Pyle made to herself years before her career began. Han Pyle’s most sacred childhood memories are of being ensconced in her mother’s Sausalito candle store surrounded by the colorful, happy pillars her mother would spend the day dipping and carving into intricate shapes. Those days spent in the shop’s warm space filled with hand-crafted fragrances defined HanPyle’s sense of what it means to feel safe, joyful, and confident. With Nette, she hopes to impart versions of these cherished memories to others.

When Carol Han Pyle started Nette, she wanted to create a clean-burning, sustainable, and stylish candle that would set a new standard for the industry. For her, lighting a candle is a cherished ritual, much like pouring a glass of fine wine or drawing a soothing bath at the end of a long day.
Unfortunately, most candles on the market all look and smell the same, made with harmful ingredients like paraffin wax and cheap, mass-produced vessels that you wouldn’t want to keep around the house. Determined to create something better, Carol worked with artisans and experts from around the world to find her dream partners. This included a factory that sources a smooth, non-toxic coconut-soy wax, artisan glass blowers who craft the brand’s glass vessels by hand, and ceramicists who throw and glaze ceramics in beautiful, vibrant colors. These pieces are designed to be treasured long after the candle has burned out—plus, they’re food-safe and dishwasher-safe, so they can double as drinking glasses or coffee mugs.
Nette is also proud to collaborate with one of the world’s top fragrance houses to develop scents using only the finest ingredients, with sustainability and green chemistry in mind.
Carol created Nette because she didn’t want to burn anything else in her home and because she believes the multi-billion dollar candle industry is long overdue for a shift toward something cleaner and more thoughtful. Through Nette, she hopes to inspire others to take better care of themselves—and the world around them.
Nette candles are crafted using a smooth, non-toxic coconut-soy wax that ensures clean burning and a superior experience. The scents are developed in collaboration with one of the world's top fragrance houses, focusing on sustainability and green chemistry. Each candle is housed in artisan-crafted vessels made from hand-blown glass or ceramics, which are food-safe and dishwasher-safe, designed for reuse as drinking glasses or coffee mugs after the candle is finished.
Nette upholds rigorous standards, ensuring their products are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from a comprehensive "No List" of harmful ingredients. This list includes paraffin wax, phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde, synthetic dyes, and other toxic substances like BPA, mercury, and sulfates. By combining sustainable practices with a dedication to quality, Nette redefines what it means to care for yourself and the planet.
