New scented candle is good for the soul
A company that pledges to make their products kind to you and the planet has released a new candle.
The Handmade Soap Company has launched its first candle from its Anam range. The Irish word for soul, the new Anam range embodies the true spirit of this family business - cruelty-free products made with ethically sourced raw ingredients and sustainable packaging.
The top of the fragrance is the sweet and warming aroma of coriander seed, which is a light, fresh scent. That top note is grounded by a rich, earthy base of vetiver. The heart notes of this Anam fragrance are a careful blend of geranium, eucalyptus and ethereal amounts of lavender that hold the blend together just right.
Each individual candle and essential oil blends are handcrafted to perfection by the brand founders Donagh and Gemma Quigley and their skilled team.
Founder Donagh Quigley said: “We are so excited to be launching our first Anam candle today. We have spent countless hours blending rare essential oils with our carefully perfected 100 per cent soy, rapeseed and beeswax candles, to get to this point. When you light this beautiful candle, you are transported to a hazy late summer's eve, with the gentle hum of the birds and bees around you. You get that feeling of winding down the heady hustle toward cosy evenings, surrounded by harvest blooms.”
He added: “Through using only the finest natural ingredients and essential oils, which blend perfectly within the soy, rapeseed and beeswax, the result is a candle that beautifully scents your home without being overbearing.
“Synthetic fragrances often hit the upper nose hard and result in headaches. Our candle is the opposite and of course has all of the added health and wellness benefits of the various essential oils used.”
Donagh and his team present the candles in a glass apothecary style jar. The company said that the boxes they arrive in are made from FSC certified sustainable card from managed forests. The candles are free from paragons, sodium lauryl sulfate, petrochemicals and other synthetics.
