Scented candles made with essential oils

Loving essential oils

Essential oils are a big part of our candle making.  In fact, here at Cotswold Pure, we absolutely LOVE essential oils.  We avoid obscure ingredients in our scented candles and prefer simply made candles which contain only two ingredients: renewable soy wax and pure essential oils.  There are no synthetic fragrances around here!

 

The ingredients we use in our scented candles are always as pure and natural as they can be.  It is possible to buy cheaper fragrance oils (which are synthetically made) but we prefer pure essential oils.  Pure essential oils are more expensive to produce and therefore to buy but we think it's worth it.  

​

The power of essential oils are amazing.  Did you know that Lemon essential oil makes a good natural cleaning product in the kitchen and Lavender essential oil can help treat bites and stings.  Just dab it on the bite directly.  Essential oils have been around for many years and are here to stay.  People are appreciating more and more the natural power of plants and essential oils.
