I recently read about the benefits of burning soy candles, including that they give off less toxic fumes than other traditional candles. So off to Google I went, where I came across Terra Vela Soy Candles. Terra Vela uses 100% natural, biodegradable soy wax and all cotton wicks, along with essential oils and phthalate-free fragrance oils. It was also exciting to learn that this small business is local to me, as the candles are made in Huntington Beach, California.
One of the reasons I like burning candles in my home is because the scent can transport to you another place and time. Terra Vela has a wide range of scents that can evoke memories of a relaxing day at the beach (e.g. Beach House), or a refreshing walk in the forest (e.g. Aspen).
Each Terra Vela candle comes in an individual box made of 100% recycled material. I appreciate how the hand-stamped label gives the candle an extra artisan-touch.
This “Bliss” soy candle was one of my favorite Terra Vela candles that I tried. The box describes the scent as follows: “A sparkling, fruit fragrance with top notes of pineapple, jasmine and grapefruit, finished off with mango and sugared musk”. Since I am a fan of of fruity fragrances, I can see why this candle appeals to me. It also reminds me of the Bath and Body Works Champagne Toast fragrance, if anyone is familiar.
I also really like the clean aesthetic of the Terra Vela Soy Candles. They do not use coloring, as using synthetic petroleum-based colorants would compromise their commitment to using natural ingredients. The simple clear glass container is easily incorporated into any interior. Therefore, these candles would fit anyone’s style and make an easy gift; think housewarming, Easter, Mother’s Day, etc.
