Whatever the British weather throws at us, let the sunshine in with our beautiful Summer Collection.
A delicate blend of bergamot, orange, and ylang ylang essential oils set the scene perfectly for a summery mood with this fresh floral scent and receive a host of natural benefits in the process. Combining carefully chosen oils to create a sense of fulfilment, happiness, and positivity our Summer Candle will bring the sunshine even on the greyest day.
Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia)
Extracted from the hybrid between a lemon and a sour orange, bergamot oil has roots in both Italian folk medicine and Southeast Asia where it is famously used as the primary ingredient in Earl Grey tea. Like other citrus oils, Bergamot oil is known to be energising and uplifting, helping to boost low moods and reduce symptoms of anxiety. It is recognised for its balancing effect, cancelling out disproportionate emotions and helping us feel content and emotionally stable. Cold pressed from the peel, Bergamot has a delicate, subtle fragrance.
Sweet Orange (Citrus Aurantium) Essential Oil
Associated with prosperity and positivity, oranges have been used medicinally for hundreds of years. Able to lift spirits and relieve anxiety, orange oil brings joy and is considered a brightening, bettering oil that contributes to overall wellness. Like other citrus oils, orange oil has antibacterial qualities. It is extracted via cold pressing from the peel of the orange fruit.
Ylang Ylang (Cananga Odorata)
Rich, floral, and exotic, ylang ylang essential oil is revered for its mood-boosting and brightening qualities. Known for its immune-boosting properties, it also soothes and reassures by influencing processes in the hippocampus area of the brain and in the serotonin system, which points to an anti-anxiety effect. Traditionally ylang ylang has been used to help release negative emotions, promote positivity and support sleep.
The essential oils are hand-blended in our studio before being added to sustainably sourced soy wax and infused, then hand-poured in small batches to ensure quality. Beautifully presented in a recyclable clear glass jar with a polished silver lid to keep your candle dust-free, small candles will burn for approximately 15-20 hours, medium for 30 -35 hours, and our large candles for 45-50 hours.
Summer Candle
We only use natural soy wax that is sustainably sourced in Europe by our supplier. This means it doesn't contain any palm oils and is environmentally and vegan-friendly. We also don't use any synthetic fragrances, additives, colourings, or scent enhancers - all of the ingredients you see on our labels naturally occur in the essential oils used. Soy wax can be sensitive to temperature fluctuations and you may notice some frosting on the surface of your candle, which is normal and doesn't affect the fragrance or performance.
How to Burn
On first use, burn small candles for 2 hours and medium/large candles for 3-4 hours or until a wax pool that reaches the edge of the container has been established. Depending on fragrance, a full melt pool may not be established until the third burn but don't worry, this is normal as we wick our candles for a slower burn but the melt pool will catch up.
