Mandarin is anti-nausea, relaxant, sedative and slightly hypnotic. It moderates the central nervous system and reduces insomnia as well as anxiety. Mandarin essence fights against dyspepsia and gastralgia. (It also fights effectively sleep disorders in children as well as skin ageing).

Lavender promotes relaxation and believed to treat anxiety, insomnia and depression. Lavender is known for its ability to calm the nervous system, lift the mood and even lower blood pressure

Lime can uplift your mood, can help you relax after a long day, and can purify the air.

Myrrh is said to lift negative moods, promote the feeling of being grounded, and encourage the feeling of spiritual awakening.

Marojam is know aromatically for its calming properties. It also has a positive effect on the nervous system. The aroma of Marjoram oil is warm, herbaceous, and woody and helps promote a calming atmosphere.

Palmarosa is a popular oil in aromatherapy because of its purported benefits for mood. A mood booster!

The candle comes with a few rituals you can try.
Rituals for your consideration:

When you light the candle, stop, pause, take a big deep breath. Breathe in for 4 counts and release for 4 counts. Take this moment.
Try the practice of fire gazing. Sit quietly with your candle, putting your full attention on the flame. Watch the flame flicker and dance. This practice is very meditative.

Self Bloom Co worked in collaboration with Paz Sounds to select the perfect relaxation companion for our candle.

Candle care

Your candle has a memory. When you burn your candle for the first time let the wax melt all the way to the edge. By doing this, your candle will burn evenly all the way down with no tunnelling. Burn large candles for approximately one hour to achieve this.
• To ensure an even and smoke-free burn, trim your wooden wick to about 5mm each time before lighting. This helps reduce soot and smoke, ensuring a clean burn. When extinguishing your candle use a snuffer or blow gently until the flame is out.
• Do not burn your candle unattended and discontinue burning it when approximately 10mm of wax remains to prevent cracking.
• Keep away from children, curtains and pets.
• Always protect the surface on which the candle rests. Please take care when placing our concrete candles on furniture as they may damage delicate surfaces.
• Remember to keep your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. As we don’t use artificial additives, our soy candles may sweat, melt, discolour or fade when they are exposed to intense light or heat for extended periods of time. These do not affect the quality of your candles in any way and they may be safely burned and enjoyed by you, your family and friends.

We chose soy wax for our candles because we want to make products beneficial to both people and the environment by choosing our ingredients for their natural and sustainable qualities:
• Our soy wax is sustainable and renewable, it is produced in a way that cares for our planet and it promotes growth, not depletion.
• Our soy wax is a 100% plant based, natural wax. It does not contain herbicides, pesticides, petroleum, animal, or insect products.
• Our soy wax is 100% vegan.

Why Wooden wicks?

We choose wooden wicks for all our candles not only because we love their crackle that reminds us of a warm, wood burning fireplace, but also because:
• Wooden wicks release fragrance better and faster: they throw up to 35% more heat into the wax compared with cotton wicks, while consuming the wax at the same rate.
• Wooden wicks burn more evenly: as they are wide based wicks, they are able to create large, even melt pools with a single wick.
• Wooden wicks don’t ‘mushroom’ the way cotton wicks do: this means minimal carbon build-up and minimal debris and sooting.
• Our wooden wicks come from responsibly managed forests, both environmentally and socially: they are naturally processed and sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified mills in the USA – FSC certified forests are healthy, they benefit local communities as well as provide jobs for workers.
• Our wooden wicks are eco friendly and sustainable: they are made of 100% wood (no lead or zinc thank you), and for every $150 we spend on wooden wicks, a tree is planted by Trees.org.
