These are made with 92% Eco Soy Wax derived from pure Soybean Oil as opposed to paraffin which is the main ingredient in most candles and it's a waste product from the oil industry. There is a lot of processing involved such as bleaching and deodorizing to manufacture the candle wax, once lit it releases carcinogenic chemicals which could contribute to respiratory illness. Scented candles may have lead or lead cores in the wick, which means leads being released into the home through burning! While these are made from a natural cotton wick that are lead free.
I'm a citrus nut, it makes me happy, it's comforting so whenever possible I go for the scent for that reason more than anything else, this has Grapefruit Lemon and Cedarwood. The essential oils within this candle are synthetic, I'm guessing like fragrance oil which I burn in an oil burner but I'm not 100% sure but if so, you'd never know the difference from fragrance to pure.
Grapefruit a mood enhancing oil that can help with occasional sadness and anxiousness brought on by everyday worries. It can be very uplifting and mood lifting.
Lemon oil increases focus and concentration, it'll support the mind when stress or tension arises from everyday issues - it could help anxiousness.
Cedarwood oil is high in sesquiterpenes, which helps deliver oxygen to the brain making this scent important for cellular health and brain wellness.
The candle is certainly mood boosting and the combination of clean and fresh citrus with woody cedarwood is a pleasure to have, comforting, relaxing and uplifting all from a candle. This has on average a 50+ hours burn time, which is good considering I may burn it for 3 hours at a time for maximum useage.
Sample.

ReplyDeleteThey do, don't they?! Even when I blow it out or while it's burning there's none of that smoky smell.
DeleteThis sounds great, I do love a good candle, especially if it's a bit more green or better for the environment x

ReplyDeleteYes it does, I get soy candles from another brand too, rubbish at burning them as I love having loads around at one time.
DeleteI'm a huge candle fan, this one looks brilliant. I love citrus smells too.

DeleteWhat a lovely candle nad the citrus smell must make the place smell so fresh.
ReplyDeleteIt does especially as it's gentle but the scent is gorgeous.
DeleteIt sounds very luxurious! I love citrus scents, some of my favs!
ReplyDeleteYeah there's something so calming and uplifting about citrus.
Deletecandles are so my thing, I love the citrus smelling ones.
ReplyDeleteCandles are just comforting, they set the tone for a lot of occasions.
DeleteI love burning candles I find it quite relaxing to watch them and also love the scented ones. This one sounds great.
ReplyDeleteIt is relaxing to watch them, I agree. Seeing the flame flicker and the shadows around the room.
DeleteI love environmentally friendly candles. Neom is a favourite of mine.
ReplyDeleteMine too, they're one of the best luxury candles.
DeleteThe smell sounds divine! My mummy loves earthy, deep smells like Cedarwood and sandlewood xx
ReplyDeleteOh perfect autumnal / winter scents. I love those also xo
DeleteI do like a good candle, this one sounds like it smells delicious. I haven't yet actually tried a soy candle out, I hear they're much better all round and much kinder to the environment. x
ReplyDeleteThey are, a much cleaner burn and I've thoroughly enjoyed that, it's made me convert x
DeleteWe are massive candle fans - so many of them do not have a strong enough scent though. 50+ hours burn time is great value.
ReplyDeleteSome don't, this smelt straight out the box, while burning I find it gentle. It's a great time for burning.
Deletei didnt know lemon oil had those benefits! the combination sounds lovely and would be great after a stressful day
ReplyDeleteYes, lemon oil is amazing. Essential oils are in general. Oh I love to burn it first thing in the morning and night, gorgeous.
