Nectar Republic is a small, family-owned aromatherapy and home‑fragrance brand founded by Lisa and Vince Laufer in Kansas, which began selling handcrafted candles, soaps, and bath goods at local farmers’ markets before expanding into wholesale with retailers like Whole Foods. Their products are made with eco-friendly, clean‑burning ingredients like soy and beeswax, and they donate 5% of profits to “Save the Bees,” linking their artisanal approach to a mission of environmental stewardship.
