Ingredients
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.

Flores Lane Candle Burning Tips
-
- 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.
-
- Avoid fans, vents or direct access to air currents.
-
- Do not touch or move a burning candle.
-
- Extinguish the candle if the flame becomes too large. Let the candle cool, trim the wick before re-lighting.
-
- Always keep the candle within your sight.
-
- Make sure the candle is completely out before leaving the room.
-
- Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle.
-
- Never use water to extinguish a candle.
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.
