We’re on a mission to change that. (A bold statement from a candle-maker, we know.)
Imagine a life where as the seasons change, you don’t just jump from one to-do to the next.
Where you get to slow down and enjoy the holidays, or savor the moments of sweet summer.
Where you’re present for all of life’s little moments.
Quiet moments of self-care are often few and far between.
Life can be hectic.
After all, they can be so fleeting, can’t they?
Summer is here!
The kids’ school year has absolutely flown by, and you feel like you were running from one thing to the next, and never quite present for any of it.
While the garden is taking off, you know it could thrive even more if you could just give the plants the attention they need.
May-cember hits harder and harder each year– with end-of-the-year deadlines, class parties, field trips, oh, and you almost forgot to order a cake for the graduation celebration next week.
The spring cleaning list has now quickly turned into the summer break to-do list, but at the same time, you’re trying hard to be intentional about planning some family fun time this summer.

Celebrating the exuberance of Summer
Introducing the Sun & Moon Spring Collection
A seasonal note from our founder
Summer is the season of unrestrained vitality. When Nature finally bursts forth in a riot of color and life, as if the earth itself can no longer keep hold of the exuberant energy within.
The once-delicate spring buds are replaced by bold flowers erupting proudly in full bloom, their petals open wide to the sun, the air full with the heady blend of their fragrances and the hum of bees in constant motion. There’s an energy in the summer air—potent, unrestrained, and impossible to ignore.
As I step into the garden during these sun-drenched days, I’m reminded of how the natural world reflects our own journey. Summer is when we, too, feel that surge of energy—the pull to step forward, to stretch our arms wide, to embrace new possibilities.
It’s a time of letting go, of releasing the weight we’ve carried and allowing ourselves to fully bloom.
Lighting a candle to enjoy dinner at home, pausing to apply luxurious skincare products, or simply taking a few moments to appreciate the beauty around you are all acts of grounding that bring more peace and harmony to your life.
Our handcrafted artisanal home and body care products help you do just that.
We believe that given a little encouragement, we can all make self-care a discipline, not just a hope or intention.
(All without sacrificing your values, too.)
But what if things looked different?
Bright, juicy lemon with a touch of sweet floral and zesty greens. Spanish Lemon & Lilac is evocative of the fresh exuberance of early summer. Scent notes include Calabrian lemon, green lilac, and juniper. Energetic, light, and perfectly refreshing for a hot summer day.
Available in a candle, diffuser, body oil, spritz, and lotion melt.
Think tropical fruit and breezy florals. Orchid & Papaya is mood and energy enhancing and uplifting. It’s evocative of sun-drenched tropics where the air is filled with the scent of blooming flowers. Scent notes include salted papaya, pink hibiscus & orchid, and mango wood. Relax and enjoy the breezy, tropical vibes of summer.
Available in a candle, diffuser, body oil, spritz, and lotion melt.

Available in a candle, diffuser, body oil, spritz, and lotion melt.
Lemon Balm & Clove
warm, soothing, & mesmerizing
This summer’s collection is inspired by that very sense of unleashing—the joy of stepping into the light, of embracing the fullness of life, and of celebrating all the growth that has led us here.
The Journey This Summer’s Collection
Will Take You On
Spanish Lemon & Lilac is fresh and bright, with juicy lemon mingling with fresh floral and zesty greens, it’s perfect for transitioning from the delicate notes of spring to the bolder ones of summer.
Orchid & Papaya celebrates the heart of summer with tropical elegance, and boasts mood and energy enhancing qualities that support summer easy-living.
Lemon Balm & Clove mimics the slow drawl of late summer, easing us into fall with its multifaceted layers of bright citrus and grounding spice, creating an immersive and relaxing environment that beckons us inward.
The Collection Details
With each collection, we love to include seasonal botanical details to enhance your experience.
This summer, the Seasonal Moments collection features rosemary in Elixir’s lotion melts, dried grapefruit peel oil in Summer Garden’s sugar scrub, and ground coffee in Elixir’s foaming coffee scrub.
These botanical elements round out the immersive seasonal experience!
The Botanicals
Bold, vibrant colors and weighty vessels are the hallmark of the summer collection, with bright tones, iridescent prisms, lustrous patterns, and sleek neutrals.
Inspired by the layered exuberance of a summer in bloom, and the alluring sultriness of a summer evening, with tropical and Mediterranean vibes.
And as always, top-of-the-line from top to bottom– vessels are made to be reused, time and again.
The Look & Feel
We adore the small details in this season’s fruit-forward artisanal wrapping paper (inspired by a recent trip to sunny Italy!) and the vibrant matchbooks featuring whimsical sea nymphs and ocean-bathing beauties– exclusive to the curated collection.
On a visit to a vintage shop in New Braunfels, Texas, we picked up a small batch of one-of-a-kind toile-decopaged clamshells that feel like they were MADE to hold our tropical orchid & papaya lotion melts on your vanity.

After having children I stopped because of the harmful chemicals in commercial candles. But with these, I rest easy, and they burn forever and smell amazing!”
