Spearmint Eucalyptus
100% Soy Candle

6 oz reusable, recycled glass jar with bamboo lid

Uplifting and crisp, like a breath of fresh air, our spearmint eucalyptus candles offer a clean combination that is at home in any room of the house.

Why choose soy wax candles? Soy wax burns cleaner, lasts longer and is a renewable resource. Why scent with plant oils instead of fragrance oils, essential oils are non-toxic, release scent gradually in soy wax, and have aromatherapy properties that man-made fragrances don't possess.

Like water under glass... How do they do that? Glass and wax expand and contract at different rates. When 100% soy wax begins to cool, it naturally pulls away from the side of the glass and creates an air space, making the wax adhering to the glass look wet. Rather than add a chemical agent to increase adhesion, we embrace the space, allowing each candle to possess unique design features that perfectly reflect our freshwater mentality.

Ingredients: All-natural soy wax, essential oil, 100% cotton wick.

Lavender
