Natural Beeswax Candles for a Clean Eco-Friendly Home

Helen, aka 'Cottage Candles', creates beautiful handmade beeswax candles from her home in Ketton near Rutland Water in the UK.

Thoroughly luxurious, these candles are clean and natural.



Available in sets of pairs or three, or individually priced (just use the options on the page and the prices will adjust accordingly), the candles make a lovely addition to any eco-friendly, natural home. They give off a slightly honey-like aroma as they burn, plus burn cleanly without any sooty residue or chemicals.



Characteristics of Beeswax

• 100% beeswax candles burn longer than ordinary paraffin candles
  
  

• Beeswax candles burn with a brighter light than normal wax candles
  
  
• Beeswax does not give off a sooty residue or release chemicals as it burns
  
  
• As a beeswax candle burns, negative ions are emitted which clean the air by latching onto the positive ions which cling to airborne particles of dust, mould and odours, thereby purifying the air
  
  
• Beeswax gives off a wonderful mild aroma of honey
  
  
• Beeswax candles are thoroughly luxurious!

All these gorgeous candles and plenty more natural, handmade and eco-friendly gift ideas can be found on The Emporium Oundle website - just click any of the images to go directly to the Cottage Candles page, or go to : http://www.theemporiumoundle.com/

Beat the Drizzly Weather Blues and jump into the bath with one of our irresistable new bath treats!

On a dark, drizzly day like today you need a bit of a treat! Luckily, Ceri of Oakwood Soaperie has just delivered a fantastic box of gorgeously scented handmade soaps, bath bombs, bath melts and gorgeous new bath bubble bars!



These bars are handmade by Ceri in the UK, using as many natural ingredients as she can, and avoiding artificial fragrances and colours. The bubbles are created by the fizzing action of the sodium bicarbonate and supported by the foaming action of the coconut derived natural surfactants.



We at The Emporium have been thoroughly testing them, of course, finding the bubbles and scents to be simply amazing - a real foamy treat! Each bar lasts for two baths, simply just break it in half and save one end for another drizzly day (if you can wait that long!)

We have four unique bubble bars in stock (click the names to go see them directly!):

Cherry Blossom Bubble Bar: This gently colours the bath water and fragrances it with Cherry Blossom, an intensely feminine floral blend of iris harmonised by jasmine, rose, lily of the valley and freesia on a base of powdery iris, musk, precious woods and crystal amber. It is also enriched with Sweet Almond Oil to moisturise your skin as you bathe.

Orange Blossom Bubble Bar: This gently colours the bath water and fragrances it with Orange Blossom If you like neroli essential oil, you’ll love our orange blossom fragrance. A refreshing fragrance opening with fresh petitgrain-neroli top note supported by a rich orange blossom body with hints of coriander, celery, clary sage and mandarin on a woody base which blends beautifully with my Earl Grey Tea soap as the fragrances both contain Neroli. It is also enriched with Sweet Almond Oil to moisturise your skin as you bathe.

Sweet Pea Bubble Bar: This gently colours the bath water and fragrances it with a Sweet Pea blend which is the same blend as in my Sweet Pea soap. Delicate violet leaf and crushed green grasses with touches of bergamot, rosewater, and jasmine. The base contains hints of iris and gentle amber, exotic patchouli and sweet musk It is also enriched with Sweet Almond Oil to moisturise your skin as you bathe.
