Candles

Candles are usually made custom to order. Receiving your candle shipment can take up to one month, given that many of the candles are made based on ritualistic practices (production can require up to 17 days depending on the planetary cycle).

If I already have the candles in stock, they should arrive within 7-14 days. Tracking information will be provided to you.

Each candle is handmade my myself, Lea, in Slovenia. Candles from the Planetary Line are made with vegetable soy wax and natural essential oils. Candles from the Elemental Line are made with natural soy wax and dyes.

VEGETABLE SOY WAX
(Statement from producer)

• Formulated from materials whose refining history is fully traceable. 

• Due to the prevalence of genetically modified soybean crop in the market we are unable to guarantee entirely non-GMO sources, but we aim to source non- GMO wherever possible. 

• Does not contain residual solvents as per guidelines CPMP/ICH283/95. 

• Has not been tested on animals by ourselves or on our behalf. 

NATURAL ESSENTIAL OILS

Made in Slovenia, without parabens, artificial colours and perfumes. Not tested on animals. High content of healing herbs and their active substances is reflected in high efficiency of products and, consequently, in satisfaction of loyal buyers for more than 30 years.

NATURAL DYES

Natural dyes are derived from plant or mineral sources. We use plant-based dyes for our candles. 

Plant-based dyes: Extracted from plants, such as roots, berries, leaves and petals. These natural pigments can be extracted and then used to color candles. For example, beets can produce a deep red color, spinach can create green and turmeric can produce a yellow hue.

Mineral dyes: Minerals such as clay, talc and mica can be ground into powder and added to candle wax to create natural color pigments. These mineral dyes can produce a wide range of colors, ranging from soft pastels to deep earth tones.

The benefits of natural dyes:

• Environmental friendliness: Natural dyes are generally biodegradable and have a lower impact on the environment.

• Health and Safety: Natural dyes are often hypoallergenic and less likely to harm the health of candle makers and users.

No, the Planetary and Elemental collections are made in line with different philosophies and methods, resulting in two unique candle collections.

Candles from the Planetary line are scented with natural essential oils and come in glass jars.

Candles from the Elemental line are unscented but come in a variety of colours made with natural dyes.

We want you to fully enjoy your candles safely, being fully aware of the risks of fire.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.

• Do not burn for more than 2 to 3 hours at a time to avoid overheating of the container.

• Place candles on stable, heat-resistant surfaces, ensuring they are at least 30cm away from curtains, bedding, and decorations.

• Always trim the wick to 2.5mm before using to prevent high flames and soot.

• Stop using the candle when there is 1cm of wax left at the bottom or 2cm for pillars/tapers.
