Cedarwood essential oil is derived from the cedar tree’s needles, leaves, bark, and berries. Cedar trees are found in numerous varieties throughout the world. Certain trees that are commonly referred to as cedars are juniper trees. Both are conifers that remain evergreen. Multiple extraction methods for this essential oil are available, including steam distillation, carbon dioxide distillation, and cold pressing.

Cedarwood oil may have sedative properties when used in aromatherapy, making it beneficial for resolving occasional insomnia. Consider using cedarwood oil as an aromatherapy treatment or incorporating a few drops into a hot bath before bed.

Cedarwood, like frankincense, is incredibly grounding. It will calm your dog and can also be used to treat skin conditions as a swab. In addition, it aids in settling dogs before sleep time, and its antiseptic properties may help repel ticks and fleas when used regularly.

Lemon Lavender is a citrus-scented candle with a sweet undertone. This candle will infuse any room with springtime freshness with lavender buds, tart lemon, and a hint of rosebuds. Lemon Lavender is available in four jar sizes and is made with a natural coconut wax blend.

Without a doubt, one of the most popular essential oils, lavender, is well-known for its numerous mental and physical health benefits. Calming, soothing, nurturing, and healing…the list could go on and on. Lavender has a relaxing and peaceful scent that is sweet, dry, and herbaceous-floral. It is widely recognised for its ability to help alleviate anxiety and fear by calming an overworked nervous system.

Lemon is an incredibly bright and refreshing essential oil that is ideal for the winter! It is excellent for elevating your mood, supplying an energy boost, and promoting mental clarity and focus. Additionally, it is a perfect addition to homemade cleaning products. Essential oils play a critical role in the human body—particularly in regulating motion, alleviating nausea symptoms, and reducing anxiety.

If cost is a consideration, purchasing a candle with a long burn time will eliminate the need to replace it frequently. While volume and size are also significant, burn time provides a more accurate representation of overall value.

When it comes to aromatherapy candles, the type of wax, wick, and fragrance—as well as the ingredients used in their manufacture—all matter. Look for phthalate-free candles made entirely of essential oils. Paraffin, beeswax, and palm wax candles are all excellent choices. It’s also critical to consider the wick material.

Beeswax candles are entirely natural and chemical-free, as bees produce them. They are the world’s oldest candles and have been prized since prehistoric times. Beeswax candles made entirely of beeswax are natural, environmentally friendly, safe, and non-toxic due to their lack of chemical processing and biodegradability. In addition, because they are not based on oil, they burn very cleanly and produce very little smoke when adequately trimmed.

On the other hand, paraffin candles are a black sludge bleached to a white colour using 100 per cent industrial-strength bleach, resulting in the formation of toxic dioxins. The white sludge is then solidified using Acrolyn, a carcinogenic chemical. The result is a highly poisonous substance. By burning these candles, the same toxins are released. 

If you truly understood how toxic paraffin candles are, you would discard them and stop polluting your home’s air. Instead, one of the most significant benefits of beeswax candles is that they burn cleanly and help combat indoor air pollution by releasing negative ions into the air, which is then refreshed by the sweet honey scent. 

Today, the federal government has established regulations to ensure that other candles emit “safe” levels of volatile organic compounds. Choosing beeswax candles with fewer, gentler ingredients reduces household exposure to toxic compounds and prevents those compounds from entering the environment.

The Midnight Citrus candle lends a fruity aroma to any evening. This blend of citrus peel, tangelo, citron, and a hint of currant will brighten your summer nights. Midnight Citrus is a natural coconut wax blend in four jar sizes to compliment any candle aesthetic.

According to a Japanese study, the smell of citrus helped participants overcome emotional stress and boost their moods for up to 30 minutes.

Orange blossom is one of the most popular fragrances for scented candles. Nothing beats a newly blossomed tree for a springtime occasion. Petals of various hues litter the garden floor. Orange blossom provides you with that without ever leaving the comfort of your own home. Consider candles infused with neroli oil extracted from the bitter orange tree’s flowers and petitgrain oil extracted from the leaves. A divine match

Luxury candles have more refined fragrances than those found in department stores. They are complex and nuanced, much like perfume.

As we prepare for winter, it may be prudent to invest in some candles for enjoyment. Candles are an incredibly effective way to transform the scent of a room, elevate your mood, or enhance the ambiance of a space. A good candle’s fragrance can also bring back pleasant memories or create a relaxing environment to unwind and relax. And the best candles are capable of accomplishing all of this and more.

When purchasing candles, pay close attention to the type of wax and wick used, as both can affect the candle’s quality, durability, and burn time.

Another essential factor to consider when shopping for candles is fragrance. Natural and synthetic fragrances have distinct advantages. Opt for a synthetic fragrance if you want your candle’s scent to travel an impressive distance (referred to as ‘throw’). On the other hand, natural perfumes are preferred because they produce a similar throw without the chemicals.
