Spa and Relaxing Candles

Spa candles are the scents you notice the moment you walk into a good spa: cool eucalyptus, soft lavender, crisp cucumber, green tea and clean sea air. They are made for slowing down, whether that is a long bath, a quiet evening with a book, or a few minutes of stillness before bed. Every candle and wax melt below is hand-poured from 100% soy wax with phthalate-free fragrance oils.

Spa classics

  • Eucalyptus Spearmint: cool eucalyptus and bright spearmint with lemon, lavender and a hint of sage. The steam-room scent.

Candles for meditation and yoga

For meditation, yoga or prayer, many people prefer warm, grounding scents with the feel of incense or a quiet temple.

A spa night at home

  • Start the scent early. Light a candle or switch on a warmer 20 to 30 minutes before your bath so the room is ready when you are.
  • Pick fresh or soft. Eucalyptus and cucumber feel like a spa day; lavender and chamomile feel like the end of one.
  • Keep flames clear of towels, curtains and water, and never leave a burning candle unattended. A wax warmer gives you the scent with no flame at all.
  • Dim the lights. A candle’s glow does half the work.

Spa candles or wax melts?

Every scent here comes both ways. Our soy candles add soft candlelight and come in every style we make, from travel tins to corked glass jars, in every scent. Our soy wax melts need a warmer but no flame, which many people prefer in a bathroom. Read wax melts vs candles for more.
