By: Articles by a Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.)

Sandalwood is an exotic, rich oil...

Its many different uses have made it quite valuable around the world. Used throughout history by Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims in purification and religious ceremonies. Sandalwood has also been an important ingredient in many medicines, perfumes, cosmetics and incense. The essential oil is extracted through steam distilled wood from matured sandalwood trees aged 40-80 years, although it is thought that the older the tree the better. This is because the older it is the more oil that is available and the aroma is stronger.

Uses

The deep-woody scent of sandalwood intensifies when applied to the skin and clothing, often lingering for days. Aromatherapy practitioners often use this popular oil to soothe anxiety and promote relaxation and tranquility. It has also been known to stimulate sensuality and is considered by some to have mild aphrodisiac qualities. Sandalwood is commonly used for skin and lung concerns. Common conditions that this essential oil can benefit are: bronchitis, laryngitis, chapped/dry skin, oily skin, scars, and stretch marks. Sandalwood should be used with prudence as this very popular tree is slowly returning from near extinction.

WHAT ARE LA LUNA CANDLES ARE MADE OF?

Our candles are made of 100% vegetable and non-GMO soy and coconut waxes. Our candles are vegan and allow a cleaner combustion.

Our wicks are made of lead-free cotton whose weave is specifically adapted to the size of the candle and its fragrance.

Our perfumes are created by French master perfumers cast in the mass for a controlled and homogeneous combustion

Why Soy And Coconut?

Vegetable waxes are part of a new generation of ecological waxes made from vegetable, natural and above all renewable materials. They are fully biodegradable and therefore do not emit soot. These are the waxes that we prefer.

The waxes that we have chosen have a low melting temperature and allow a prolonged combustion time while ensuring an excellent diffusion of the perfumes.

Soy wax is an all natural wax made from hydrogenated soybean oil. It is ideal for making jar candles.

Coconut wax comes from sustainably produced coconuts, so there is no problem of deforestation with coconut.

How To Reuse La Luna's Containers?

When the candle is emptied of its wax the concrete container can still be useful be useful: pencil holder, flower pot, pocket pockets. The possibilities are only limited by your by your imagination!
