What Make Handmade Candles so Special? Self-Care Candles

What Makes a Luxury Handmade Candle So Special?

At Soapfullness we are passionate about self-care and that is why we have made our divine self-care handmade candles.

We all deserve a treat once in a while, a treat which will awaken your senses, a treat which you can indulge in without guilt, a treat which will provide tranquillity and beauty, a treat which will provide the ultimate hygge feeling.

Yes, we are talking about handmade candles.

There is nothing more beautiful or peaceful than watching the flicker of a flame from a candle. The warmth, the tranquillity, the stillness, the sense of peace and restoration, the comfort and the pleasure that they provide is simply beautiful. Handmade candles are perfectly made for self-care.

We know that we all need a pick me up. A bit of self-care time. Yes, finding the time can be hard but also prioritising yourself should be a necessity to keep your mental and physical health under check.

Handmade candles are the perfect choice to include in your self-care routine. Put your self-care candle on when you are doing some yoga, meditating, reading, knitting, watching tv (yes sometimes we all need to disconnect!), eating a meal, having a bath, as a few examples. Handmade candles are easy and so enjoyable to use.

Handmade candles for self-care can provide you with a peace of mind when you feel anxious or overwhelmed. They can help you calm your breathe and thoughts as you watch the flame flicker away.

Our self-care handmade candles can help you restore your energy, give you peace, provide you with some mindful moments in the comfort of your own home.

Of course, getting out in nature in therapeutic for the mind and body, but for the times that we can’t, our handmade candles are perfect as they are inspired by the outdoors and will allow you to bring the outdoors, indoors so that you can refresh, rest, rest and restore.

 

Our aim at Soapfullness is to produce beautiful products which will easily fit in with your self-care routine. Self-Care doesn’t need to be expensive or time consuming. We want to help you make small positive changes and we believe our handmade candles are the perfect choice to help you embrace some self-care.

What is so Special about Handmade Candles?

Handmade candles are unique just like you and me. Each one is carefully crafted from concept, to testing to pouring to the final product and we carefully select plastic free packaging.

 Each candle is poured with love and dedication, not only because we take pride in our divine products but because we know the that it will have a positive impact when it reaches you.

Small things can make a big difference to how we feel, our emotions, our motivation, our outlook at life and we believe our handmade candles can have a positive impact upon these.

We talk below about the importance of handmade candles and self-care.

Why does the ingredients of Handmade Candles Matter?

Soy Wax Self-Care Candles

Our self-care candles are inspired by nature and with this in mind we want to keep our ingredients as natural as possible. We use Soy wax for our candles and are beautifully blended with essential oils.

We use soy wax for its beautiful clean burns (doesn’t produce much/to any scoot), for its ability to throw beautiful aromas, for its non-toxic ingredients and its slow and long burns.

There is a lot to love about soy wax. It is derived from the Soya bean and has no toxic chemicals or any harmful by products.


Essentially Beautiful ...

When we fragrance our self-care candles, we only use essential oils for this range. As our candles are inspired by nature, we want to unite with what nature has provided, essential oils.

Like others, it is likely that you have heard of the amazing benefits of essential oils. They have been used for thousands of years to improve mental, physical and even spiritual wellbeing.

Essential Oils provide a beautiful aroma which isn’t overpowering. Our self-care candles smell amazing and connect you with nature in the comfort of your own home.

When we make our self-care candles we do so carefully. We want to produce the best candles for you to enjoy time and time again.

That’s why we allow our self-care candles to cure for a couple weeks after they have been poured to allow the fragrance and wax to bind together so that it will produce some beautiful aromas when you come to burn your handmade candle.



Why are handmade candles more expensive than supermarket candles?

At Soapfullness we are a small business. We don’t mass produce our candles. Every candle is hand poured with love and dedication. There is no mass production here.

We source the best ingredients and make the most beautiful and uplifting blends that we can. We thoroughly put a lot of thought, love and dedication into producing handmade products with the aim of heling you feel good.

Our self-care candle range is produced with essential oils because they are derived from natural resources. Essential oils have an array of benefits. They can help you relax; they can help you focus; they can calm the mind or they can invigorate you to get things done.

Our sense of smell is one of the most important senses. It can affect our mood, motivation, emotions, and so on. This is why we make self-care candles. We have a good understanding of how smell can affect our mental health.

Every purchase that you make, makes a big impact to our little and beautiful business. Every order is packed with care and attention as we love to hear what you think about our products.

Why are Handmade Candles Good for Self-Care?

Where do we start? Self-care handmade candles are the ultimate product for self-care. Yes, you can read several posts saying ‘get a candle for self-care’, but why, no one actually explains the benefits.

Handmade candles are perfect for self-care because they invigorate your sense of smell.

 

Smell is one of the most powerful senses as it goes directly to the limbic system, which include the amygdala and the hippocampus, which are the regions related to emotion and memory in the brain.

 

This direct route means that smell is very closely linked to memories and emotions. It is very easy to create new links as our brain learns to associate smells with certain emotions.

This is why we believe handmade candles are important to self-care. As you being to create time for yourself, you can link new smells from your candles to how you want to feel, for example uplifted, energetic or relaxed.

 

Candles are great for self-care as they are affordable, long lasting, natural wax and fragrance. They provide non-toxic clean burns with a wonderful fragrance throw.  

Candles can fit into an already existing routine or you can make a new one. The great thing about candles is that you can put them on (safely) at any time, so whether you are doing a work out from home, working from home, taking some self-care time or simply wanting one of the best candles on the market, we have you covered.

These are just some of the reasons that our handmade candles are the perfect solution for self-care.
