Made Local
What it means to be made local
“All the products you will see on the website are made personally by myself, and because I carry out every step of the process I know exactly what is going into each. So let’s take a look at how some of my products are made along with ingredients used!”
Wax Melts & Tea Lights
I believe it is important to keep my products natural – no hidden nasties! All the wax melts and tea lights are made from 100% soy wax rather than the more traditional paraffin wax, and infused with phthalate free, vegan and eco friendly fragrance oils.
So firstly, what is soy wax and why choose it over paraffin?
Soy wax is natural, a hydrogenated vegetable oil deriving from the soybean
The benefits of soy over paraffin wax:
Soy wax contains nothing artificial, making it a better alternative to paraffin wax, which is made from petroleum oil, producing harmful by products when melted.
Soy wax is non-toxic making it better not only for your health, but also the environment
Soy wax is also environmentally friendly because soybeans are a renewable resource
Soy wax burns cleaner because it is made from all natural materials, so no chemicals are released into the air as with paraffin wax. This also means no black marks on the walls or complaining of headaches, whilst burning!
The process involved in fragrancing the soy wax…
To make the soy wax smell beautiful it needs to be melted to the correct temperature, then fragranced with either pure essential oils (which are 100% natural) or high quality phthalate free fragrance oils.
What are phthalates and why should we avoid them?
Phthalates are a group of chemicals which can be used in fragrance oils to make them blend better and burn more easily. However, due to concerns about the potential health effects phthalates can cause, many suppliers have reformulated their oils to remove these. When sourcing the fragrance oils I only use suppliers that use phthalate free oils.
Aromatherapy Bath Soaks
The Bath Soaks are 100% natural, made with coconut milk powder, colloidal organic oats along with Epsom and Himalayan salts. Once the all the ingredients are blended to make the base, they are infused with pure essential oils.
There are numerous benefits to each of the above ingredients which mean these lovely bath soak sachets are full of goodness giving your skin, mind and body the care and attention it deserves!
Coconut Milk is packed with vitamins B, C and E and is loaded with good fats which will soften and encourage supple skin.
Organic Collodial Oats reduce skin inflammation, replenish skin oils, moisturise and cleanse as well as containing anti oxidant properties.
Epsom and Himalayan Salts have healing benefits, get rid of body toxins, exfoliate skin and sooth aching muscles and joints.
Essential Oils are 100% pure, so as well giving a wonderful aroma to the bath, they also benefit health and emotional wellbeing. When the essential oils are absorbed through the body or inhaled, they can rejuvenate skin, invigorate tired bodies, boost circulation, promote detoxing, stimulate the immune system, relieve stress and lift the mood. Bathing and aromatherapy have a clear synergy because baths give the oils a double route into the body. Through inhalation of the scent diffused in the steam and through the skin.
