We have two NEW SCENTS in the family! 

• Lavender: this scent is perfect for promoting wellness and calmness, helping reduce anxiety and stress. It relaxes the body and mind. This one is the perfect scent for your meditation area.

• Tropical Fruits: This scent transports you to vacation, it’s sweet, and very good for promoting friendship and trust, perfect to put in your living room for having people over or your office (to make it feel less like an office!)

And our two classics: 

• Vanilla Coconut: Vanilla has sedative effects and helps reduce hyperactivity and restlessness. Coconut is used in aromatherapy as a skin issue reliever. This is the perfect candle to light for a while before going to sleep.

• Lime: clears your mind and encourages mental energy, also triggers the memory, perfect for a study environment like your desk.

We love our candles and we have some tips and tricks to take care of them.

 

CARE TIPS for your SOY COCONUT CANDLE:

1. Place your candle in a non-draughty area, away from flammable materials, children, pets, and in a stable flat surface to make sure it doesn’t fall.

2. Burn for at least 2 hours upon the first light, this ensures the even distribution of the soy wax.

3. Wooden wicks do not often require trimming, but if your candle begins to smoke, trim the wick to two cm.

4. Once there is less than 10mm of remaining wax, discontinue use, scoop the wax out, and upcycle the shell! In our next blog post we will share 5 ideas to give your ex GiveMeCocos candles a second life!
