Reviews - ‘Relax & Unwind’ Botanical Candle
“I bought the Relax & Unwind candle as a gift for my sister and we both agreed it’s probably the best candle ever, absolutely gorgeous. The candle itself was beautifully packaged, and even before it was lit it smelled amazing! I especially like that these are completely natural - soy wax, paper wick and scented with oils not chemicals, so are ideal for anyone who wants to avoid room sprays or other chemical-based products for scenting the home. I loved it so much I’ve just bought one for myself, so definitely recommend!”
-Eleanor A (Perthshire)

“Loved the 'Relax & Unwind' candle I ordered recently. It came really quickly and had useful instructions on how to get the most out of the candle (don't light without reading first!). Most importantly, though, the scent was absolutely gorgeous. I will definitely be ordering again. x”

FAQs ABOUT OUR BOTANICAL CANDLES
+ How long can I expect my Relax & Unwind botanical candle to last for?
With our 180ml Relax & Unwind botanical candle jars, you can expect to enjoy approximately 40 (or more) hours of calming and relaxing burn time if you care for your candle well.
If this seems like a lot of hours, it is! And it’s because natural soy wax candles burn cooler and therefore slower than paraffin wax candles, meaning they typically last that bit longer.
+ How will my Relax & Unwind botanical candle be packaged when you post it to me?
As a small, handmade & eco-conscious business, we package all of our botanical candles and wax melts in either recycled or recyclable materials to post them safely to you, meaning you won't have any annoying and unnecessary plastic packaging to dispose of.
+ Why do you use soy wax for your candles?
We chose to make our botanical candles and wax melts from natural soy wax because it’s healthier and more environmentally friendly than paraffin wax. Soy wax is a natural, renewable resource that burns cleanly and is non-toxic.
Additionally, the soy wax we use is non-GMO and sustainably produced in Europe, making it even kinder to the environment. (Much of the soy wax used in candle making is produced in the US and comes from genetically modified soy crops.)
+ Why do you scent your candles with essential oils rather than artificial fragrance?
Essential oils (the natural essence extracted from plants) are a fantastic natural home fragrancing option for anyone who doesn’t like overpowering artificial scents and wants to avoid using artificially scented, synthetic chemical-based products in their home.
Also, people who experience physical reactions such as headaches or nausea from being exposed to artificial fragrance often find that they don’t experience the same unpleasant side-effects when it comes to 100% pure essential oils.
Pure essential oils also have the additional benefit of having therapeutic benefits that artificial fragrances don't. Our natural botanical candles and wax melts aim to harness both the gorgeous natural scents and also the valuable therapeutic properties of pure essential oils, helping you to relax, unwind, and uplifting your mood, naturally.
+ Why do you make your botanical candles in amber glass jars?
We chose amber glass jars for our botanical candles for two reasons:
1.Amber glass protects the essential oils infused in our natural botanical candles from potentially damaging sunlight. In aromatherapy, storing pure essential oils in dark coloured glass containers helps to preserve the integrity of these precious and often very expensive substances and their wonderful therapeutic benefits.
2.They give our botanical soy candles a rustic, apothecary-style aesthetic which we love. Plus, the amber glass gives off a beautifully warm, calming and comforting orange glow when your botanical candle is lit. Super cosy!
+ What happens if the flower petals get too close to the wick when my candle is burning?
If the flower petals in your botanical candle float in directly next to the wick and are interfering with the clean burning of your candle, simply extinguish your candle briefly and use a wooden skewer (or similar item) to push the petals away from the centre of the candle.
The beautiful natural petals add a lovely pop of colour to our botanical candles and wax melts and it's relaxing watching them as they float in the pool of molten wax!
