OUR STORY

We were looking for completely natural (and cute!) candles that would also be kind to the Earth – and ultimately decided to create them ourselves. We wanted to create non-seasonal candles made of pure ingredients, scented with the finest essential oils only.

Essential oils can be extracted from various plant parts, such as the flowers, leaves, and stems. In order to produce a small amount of essential oil, we need a whole lot of plants. In a way, essential oils hold the power of an entire plant. The idea is that you’ll get the benefits of the essential oils when burning your candle. For instance, peppermint and bergamot oils can make you more energetic, whereas patchouli can calm you down, and palo santo might lift your mood.

To minimize the production of unnecessary unsustainable materials, we pack each of our candles in a luxurious, wooden box made of paulownia wood.  Unlike, for instance, mahogany or teak, the paulownia tree grows fast, which makes it an environmentally friendly option when compared to many other trees. Plus, we love how it looks! Our idea is that you can reuse or recycle the box. 

In the base of each of our candles, there is a hand-picked crystal that supports the intention of the candle. When there is only a few scents of candle wax left, you can dig the crystal out of the wax. Let the wax cool down before digging the stone out. 

We’re based in Helsinki, Finland.
