Why We Created Ramona Candle Co.’s Beeswax Candles for Healthier Living
As a mom to two young children and a lover of the outdoors, I joined forces with my mom to start Ramona Candle Co., driven by our shared commitment to provide healthier, nontoxic candles. With our experience as small business owners, we are problem solvers; seeing a need and coming up with a great solution. We recognize what health oriented people seek in a clean-burning candle. Inspired by small-town vibes, country living, the beautiful landscapes and trails, and our American pride and rebel spirit, we crafted Ramona Candle Co. to offer candles we’d buy ourselves: nontoxic, phthalate-free, and clean-burning, with the air-purifying power of beeswax. We strive to use made-in-USA materials whenever possible and love supporting local artisans, bringing better-for-you options to our community.
Why We 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. As a mother-daughter team, we wanted to protect our families 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 our 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 our families.
- Nontoxic and Phthalate-Free: Free from harmful chemicals, beeswax candles eliminate exposure to hormone disruptors, aligning with our 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 our soy candles are also nontoxic and sustainable, beeswax’s air-purifying properties make it the cornerstone of our collection, reflecting our commitment to healthier living.
Our Health Journey and Commitment
Our personal health challenges opened our eyes to the impact of everyday products. We’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 us that our environment plays a critical role in our well-being, inspiring us to create candles that we’d trust in our own homes. It’s not always easy to find nontoxic, high-quality options locally, so we set out to fill that gap with Ramona Candle Co.
Candles Inspired by Our Values
We draw inspiration from the small-town vibes of places like Ramona, the heart of country living, and the beautiful landscapes and trails that surround us. Our 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 us.
