Why I Created Ramona Candle Co.’s Beeswax Candles for Healthier Living
As a mom to two young children and a lover of the outdoors, I started Ramona Candle Co. driven by my commitment to provide healthier, nontoxic candles. With my experience as a small business owner, I understand what people seek in a clean-burning candle: safety, quality, and peace of mind. On a journey toward healthier living—hiking to stay active, eating organic, non-GMO whole real foods, and avoiding products with harmful chemicals—I’ve become acutely aware of how our environment impacts our health. Inspired by small-town vibes, country living, the beautiful landscapes and trails, and my American pride and rebel spirit, I crafted Ramona Candle Co. to offer candles I’d buy myself: nontoxic, phthalate-free, and clean-burning, with the air-purifying power of beeswax. I strive to use made-in-USA materials whenever possible and love supporting local artisans, bringing better-for-you options to my community.
Why I Chose Beeswax for Healthier Homes
Many conventional candles are made with paraffin, synthetic fragrances, and phthalates—hormone disruptors that release toxins into the air, potentially harming health over time. I wanted to protect my family from these risks. That’s why Ramona Candle Co. crafts beeswax and soy candles with clean, nontoxic ingredients that burn safely. Beeswax, in particular, became my focus for its remarkable health benefits:
• Natural Air Purification: Beeswax candles emit negative ions when burned, helping to neutralize pollutants, allergens, and dust. This air-purifying quality creates a cleaner environment, ideal for families and those with sensitivities.
• Clean-Burning Safety: Beeswax burns slowly and evenly, producing minimal soot and no toxic fumes, ensuring a safer home for my family.
• Nontoxic and Phthalate-Free: Free from harmful chemicals, beeswax candles eliminate exposure to hormone disruptors, aligning with my wellness goals.
• Natural Glow and Scent: With its subtle honey-like aroma and warm golden light, beeswax brings a calming, natural ambiance to any space.
While my soy candles are also nontoxic and sustainable, beeswax’s air-purifying properties make it the cornerstone of my collection, reflecting my commitment to healthier living.
My Health Journey and Commitment
My personal health challenges opened my eyes to the impact of everyday products. I’ve embraced a lifestyle focused on wellness—hiking Ramona’s scenic trails, choosing organic, non-GMO whole real foods, and avoiding products with harmful chemicals. This journey taught me that our environment plays a critical role in our well-being, inspiring me to create candles that I’d trust in my own home. It’s not always easy to find nontoxic, high-quality options locally, so I set out to fill that gap with Ramona Candle Co., striving to use made-in-USA materials and supporting local artisans whenever possible.
Candles Inspired by My Values
I draw inspiration from the small-town vibes of places like Ramona, the heart of country living, and the beautiful landscapes and trails that surround me. My candles reflect these values with uplifting names and scents:
• Main Street Breeze: Infused with the fresh, invigorating white eucalyptus fragrance inspired by Ramona’s iconic Main Street trees, perfect for refreshing your space during a morning of work or reading.
• Laguna Meadow: Evoking the crisp, earthy essence of Mount Laguna’s serene trails, this candle brings the peace of nature indoors for quiet evenings.
Each candle is handcrafted to bring the joy of nature and wholesome living into your home, just as these values uplift me.
