The scent unfolds delicately yet fills your space with a refreshing yet cozy aroma that can fight off unwanted pests.
What makes it work?
Buddha Wood Essential Oil: The eremophilone content of Buddha Wood makes it effective at repelling ticks, mosquitoes, fleas, bedbugs, and other biting insects.
Cedarwood Essential Oil: Can dissolve the exoskeletons of insects, especially in their earlier life stages, and can also interfere with their ability to breathe. Can disrupt the fat particles in insects which are vital for their survival.
Rosemary Essential Oil: Its pungent scent and the presence of eucalyptol can deter biting insects.
Citronella Essential Oil: Contains compounds like citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol, which are known for their insect-repelling properties. Less-than-pleasant-smelling citronella candles or torches do not represent the real fragrance of citronella. Pure Citronella essential oil builds on the crispness of aldehydes with notes of limonene, rosy alcohols, and fruity esters.
Scent Profile
Scented with ambrette seed, buddha wood, hinoki wood, vetiver, cedarwood, lavender, rosemary, palo santo, and citronella essential oils. It's woodsy and unisex.

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.

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.
