FAQ
WHAT IS AROMATHERAPY?
Aromatherapy is a holistic, ancient practice of using natural plant extracts in the form of essential oils to benefit mental and physical health.
HOW DOES AROMATHERAPY TREATMENT WORK?
Aromatherapy works through smell and skin absorption using products such as diffusers, candles, bath salts, bath bombs, shower steamers, body oils, lotions, face masks and more.
WHERE DO YOU SOURCE YOUR ESSENTIAL OILS?
I purchase my essential oils from a small, family run business that does not include any additives or synthetic fragrance in their products. I wanted to support another small business that focuses on premium quality oils.
HOW ARE THE ESSENTIAL OILS YOU USE IN YOUR PRODUCTS EXTRACTED?
The essential oils used in my products are steam distilled with the exception of citrus oils, which are cold pressed from the rinds of their respective fruit. The crops and fruits are cultivated in their native climates and are grown without the use of pesticides.
Steam distillation is the most common method for collecting essential oils as this method yields exceptionally pure products. Steam distillation allows essential oils to be distilled at temperatures below their normal boiling point, thus protecting the integrity of their delicate and chemical profiles.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHEN YOU CLAIM YOUR PRODUCTS ARE ALL NATURAL AND NON-TOXIC?
All of the ingredients in my products are naturally derived from plants and nature. I do not use any synthetic fragrance or additives like most store bought candles and bath products on the market. Everything is 100% natural, gluten free, vegan and free from harmful SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrance so you can live your healthiest (and best smelling) life!
CAN I USE YOUR PRODUCTS IF I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION?
Please consult your doctor before using any aromatherapy products if you have a medical condition.
CAN I USE YOUR PRODUCTS IF I AM PREGNANT OR NURSING?
Please consult your doctor before using any aromatherapy products when pregnant or nursing.
I highly recommend avoiding all essential oils during your first trimester as this is a critical time for your baby's development, however, aromatherapy can have many benefits during pregnancy and labor.
Products I most recommend to pregnant women are my rose and lavender candles as these essential oils promote rest and relaxation as well as easing pain. Studies show that these essential oils specifically helped to reduce pain levels during the labor process!
If you are nursing, I do not recommend the use of any of my Orange Blossom products as jasmine essential oil should be avoided during pregnancy and nursing.
WHAT MAKES YOUR CANDLES 'CLEAN' CANDLES?
The only ingredients used in my candles are 100% pure soy wax, essential oils, a cotton lead-free wick and real flowers.
Most store bought candles made with soy wax are blended with harmful paraffin wax and include toxic synthetic fragrance oil which is linked to endocrine disruptions and cancer in both humans and pets. I encourage you to read the ingredient label on the candles around your home and research each ingredient as many of them are liked to health issues. Don't be fooled by candle labels that say 'soy wax' or 'essential oils' as majority of the time there are additional harmful ingredients added.
CAN THE FLOWERS ON YOUR CANDLES CATCH ON FIRE?
I test small batches of my candles regularly and the flowers do not catch on fire, however, it is possible that this could still occur. Please read the warning label carefully on the bottom of your candle and never leave it unattended or around children and pets. If the flowers catch on fire, immediately blow out the candle and remove the flower with a spoon or utensil before lighting the candle again.
IS YOUR PACKAGING SUSTAINABLE?
Yes, all of my packaging is sustainable and I encourage you to recycle!
My glass candle jars can be reused as well for storage or home decor. Simply microwave the contents for 60 seconds and dump out the excess wax, flowers and wick before using water, soap and a paper towel to dry the inside.
