Palo santo’s scent is a blend of woodsy, citrusy, and slightly minty notes. This unique aroma comes from the essential oils in the wood, particularly limonene, a terpene also found in citrus peels. Palo santo is part of the same botanical family, Burseraceae, as frankincense and myrrh, which are also known for their spiritual and medicinal properties. 

Traditionally, palo santo is burned to cleanse negative energy, purify spaces, and uplift the mood. Shamans and healers in South America often use it during ceremonies. The palo santo tree grows in countries like Ecuador, Peru, and parts of Brazil, thriving in dry, tropical forests.

True palo santo is harvested only after the tree has fallen and naturally aged for 4–10 years. This aging process concentrates its fragrant oils, making the wood more aromatic. The smoke from burning palo santo is known to repel mosquitoes and other insects, making it a natural alternative to chemical repellents.

Ingredients

WAX:
We purchase RAW materials and create a "proprietary" formula: it's nearly 100% soy wax, with a just touch of beeswax to elongate the burn time and give it a smooth-looking finish. Before burning any candle, make sure the ingredients work with your body.

OIL/RESIN:
The reason we include essential oil is because it’s a plant's vital "essence” where energy is stored but also the most highly concentrated nutritional and therapeutic benefits reside. This contains chemical messengers that transmit information throughout the body like a normal medicine or prescription would do. We like to call them:Plant Friends with Benefits.

  • - Did you know that wax has a memory?

  • - Be sure to allow 4 hours for your first burn OR until the entire top layer of wax melted to maximize the life of your candle.

  • - Trim the wick to ¼ inch each time before burning.

  • - Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. This will also help prevent possible heat damage.

it's about the ingredients.

In 2010, I was diagnosed with late stage neurological Lyme disease and was unable to leave the house. One thing that always made me feel better was lighting candles. But upon researching the candle ingredients, I realized that I was burning petroleum, coal, & unknown fragrances..I decided to make my own with healthy ingredients.
