Love the Benefits of Lavender Essential Oil?

Are you a lavender-lover?

And did you know that if you want to benefit from the calming and relaxing effects of Lavender essential oil, it must be True Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), not Spike Lavender (Lavandula latifolia) you choose?

Our Relax & Unwind candle contains True Lavender essential oil, carefully blended with 3 other essential oils known for their calming and relaxing properties.

Spike Lavender also has its place in aromatherapy, however, rather than possessing the calming and relaxing properties of True Lavender, it’s a more energising essential oil that’s known to be great for mental alertness and concentration, and therefore perhaps not so great for chilling out with...

(And obviously candles scented with synthetic Lavender ‘fragrance’ contain no therapeutic value and have no place in aromatherapy…)

If you love the scent and benefits of Lavender, our ‘Relax & Unwind’ candle jars contain True Lavender essential oil (blended with 3 other pure essential oils known for their calming and relaxing effects.

Relax & Unwind is available in 2 sizes (60ml jars, which burn for up to 20 hours & 180ml jars, which burn for 40+ hours) and you can get them here.

*Personally, I prefer the larger candle jar size (as pictured) because they obviously give off more scent, both lit and unlit.

But the small ones are super-cute too and make a lovely ‘small gift’ for someone you care about.
