Artisanal Halal
Sculptural Candles & Gift Sets
Pu Aura sculptural candles are certified halal under standard MS 2200-1:2008 by Vietnam National Halal (certificate VNH-JAKIM.72, valid to 27 July 2027). While conventional candles risk contamination from unverified animal-tallow stearic acid, Pu Aura offers custom silicone moulds in 3 to 5 business days for Malaysian B2B distributors.
Engineered specifically for Malaysian corporate gifting, Hari Raya festive collections, and luxury hotel amenities. Hand-poured in Ho Chi Minh City by La Chi Company Limited.

Hexagonal Islamic Sculptural Candle (140g)
The 10-Second Halal Verification Dossier
Most scented candles cannot claim halal compliance because global supply chains use animal tallow stearic acid without traceability. Pu Aura operates on total verifiable transparency.
Certification Body & Scheme
Certified by Vietnam National Halal (VNH), an overseas certification body officially recognized by JAKIM Malaysia.
Applicable Standard
Certified by VNH under MS 2200-1:2008, the standard named on the certificate.
Critical Control: Stearic Acid
Zero porcine ingredients, zero animal tallow derivatives, lead-free cotton wicks.
Manufacturer & Entity Trace
Manufactured by La Chi Company Limited (Nha Be Commune, Ho Chi Minh City). Founder & Master Candlemaker: La Mai Phuong.
Clear Territorial Scope & Market Ethics
Our Halal certificate is officially recognised for circulation in Malaysia. In compliance with strict trade ethics, our certificate is explicitly not valid for circulation in Indonesia or the GCC / Middle East countries until regional certifications are finalized. We do not make false cross-border claims.
English Certificate VNH-JAKIM.72 is available as a PDF below. The QUATEST 3 test report Q326A112831 and the Technical Specification Sheet (HS 3406.00.00) are sent on request.
The Critical Control Points of Halal Candle Making
Halal candle making depends on controlling a few critical points across raw materials, equipment and workshop practice.
Raw Material Transparency
Industrial candles typically harden wax using commercial stearic acid often derived from untraced animal tallow slaughter byproducts.
Solvent Purity & Flashpoint
Standard aroma compounds often utilize volatile alcohol carriers. We exclusively blend high-flashpoint aromatic oils, free from ethanol diluents, to safeguard pure room scenting.
Workshop Segregation
Our Ho Chi Minh City workshop maintains dedicated pouring pots, stainless steel melters, and tools exclusively reserved for Halal-certified wax to prevent any cross-contamination.
Islamic Geometric & Architectural Motifs Only
Every silicone mould in our catalogue follows Islamic geometric, floral, or architectural motifs: lanterns, crescents, stars, arabesque lattice. No human or animal form is ever sculpted into a Pu Aura mould.
The Botanicals Behind Our Scent Profiles
Each fragrance oil is blended from traceable aromatic botanicals (Kashmiri saffron, oud wood, green cardamom, dried rose petals, and natural amber resin), forming signature notes such as Oud Wood, Rose Damask, and Amber used across our sculptural candle collection.

Diplomatic Engagement

Pu Aura Halal-certified candle sets have been chosen as ceremonial cultural gifts presented to the Embassy of Malaysia in Hanoi and the Consulate General of Malaysia in Ho Chi Minh City. Malaysian representatives and partners have also visited our workshop in Ho Chi Minh City. These photographs record cultural-gifting engagements; they are not an official endorsement or approval of Pu Aura products.
Artisan Workshop
Saigon Production Workshop & On-Request Sessions
All raw material inspection, fragrance blending, and custom 3D mould engineering take place at our production workshop at 1831/28 Huynh Tan Phat, Nha Be Commune, Ho Chi Minh City—where visiting Malaysian delegations and corporate buyers inspect our process by appointment. On Nguyen Hue Walking Street (District 1), founder La Mai Phuong also conducts private candle-making workshops upon partner request (by prior arrangement only, with no permanent product display on site).
She never set out to sell a single candle.
Long before there was a brand, there was only the habit of making. She taught herself late into the evening, because shaping wax was simply the most relaxing thing she knew. She made what she found beautiful, and showed it to friends because she was proud of it, not because she was selling anything.
The first order came by accident, at a friend's launch event for a fine pearl jewellery line. She had offered to shape a few small clamshell candles to sit beside the pearls on display, and sold out a modest table of them to the guests before the evening was over.
What followed was never planned. Guests mentioned her to other people. One friend kept recommending her work to everyone he met, until a supermarket chain on Phú Quốc placed its first wholesale order, sight unseen. The Halal certification arrived the same way: a certifying body, searching Vietnam for genuine handmade candles for its own retail network, found her workshop before she ever thought to look for them.
Frequently Asked Questions by Malaysian B2B Buyers
How does Pu Aura ensure Halal compliance during international customs clearance? ▼
Every shipment includes shipping documentation referencing Certificate ID VNH-JAKIM.72 (audited under standard MS 2200-1:2008 by Vietnam National Halal, officially recognized by JAKIM Malaysia), alongside your Commercial Invoice, to support customs validation at Port Klang and KLIA.
What are the lead times for custom-branded corporate moulds? ▼
Our workshop crafts proprietary silicone master moulds in 3–5 working days from 3D design approval. Production of 500–1,000 custom units typically takes 2–3 weeks using replicated silicone production moulds.
Can we request bilingual English & Bahasa Malaysia compliance labels? ▼
We print bilingual English/Bahasa Melayu labels prepared to the marking requirements of Malaysia's Trade Descriptions (Marking of Pre-Packaged Goods) Order 2023, including your company name and address as importer. Final label compliance for goods sold in Malaysia rests with the Malaysian importer of record; we supply print-ready artwork for your approval before production.
What taxes apply when importing Pu Aura candles into Malaysia? ▼
Under HS 3406.00.00, candles of ASEAN origin enter Malaysia at 0% import duty when supported by an ATIGA Form D. Import duty is only part of landed cost: Malaysia also levies sales tax (SST) on imported goods, generally 10% of the customs value, payable by the Malaysian importer of record at clearance. Every Pu Aura quotation states its Incoterm and which charges fall to each party.
Can we order samples before committing to a bulk order? ▼
Yes. Sample boxes are free for registered businesses. The buyer pays DHL shipping for the sample box, and the sample cost is credited against your first official order.
What are your payment terms? ▼
For wholesale orders, we require a 50% deposit with your purchase order and artwork approval, and the 50% balance before release of the original bill of lading. A copy of the bill of lading is sent ahead for your customs preparation.
What payment terms and design protection (NDA) are guaranteed? ▼
Standard B2B terms are 50% deposit upon PO confirmation and artwork approval, with the remaining 50% payable before release of the original Bill of Lading (a copy is provided in advance for customs preparation). We sign strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) ensuring client corporate moulds and logos remain 100% exclusive and never duplicated for any other party.
