The Japanese term wabi-sabi refers to an aesthetic philosophy that celebrates the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and authenticity in life. It's all about finding beauty in the natural cycle of growth and decay, and embracing the uniqueness of each moment and object.
So how are our less-than-perfect concrete candles expressing their best wabi-sabi lives? In the vessels themselves there may be little holes or pockmarks scattered across the surface of the concrete, giving them a unique, rustic charm.
There also may be inconsistent coloration or variations in the sealant, adding character and personality to each vessel.
But when it comes to the candles themselves, these’s nothing less-than-perfect — it’s still the same creamy coconut-soy botanical blend and the phthalate-free fragrances you’ve come to love.
What you get is a beautiful combination of perfect and imperfect all together in one sweet little gift, ready to fill your space with delightful scents and cozy vibes.
Hand-poured in-house in small batches using simple, clean ingredients – a botanical wax blend made with coconut and soy waxes, lead-free cotton wicking, and phthalate-free fragrances blended with pure essential oils. No additives, enhancers, colorants, or phthalates added. All ingredients are mindfully-sourced in the USA and are vegan and cruelty-free.
PLEASE READ: Before each lighting (including your first burn session), it is important that you TRIM THE CANDLE WICK TO ABOUT 1/4" IN HEIGHT for a clean, safe and even burning experience. This will prevent a large flame from developing and will prevent smoking. Trimming the wick as recommended will also help extend the life of your candle. For a fool-proof way to trim your wicks, check out our Makana Wick Trimmer.
Do not burn candle for more than 3 hours at a time. Additionally, place your candle on a stable surface away from drafts, and away from children and pets. Do not touch a burning candle and allow to cool completely after extinguishing prior to handling.
