Steam-distilled heartwood and root, lifted by cold-pressed peel. The quietest of the three scented candles.
Light it in the room you are actually in — the effect is tied to use.
The lab reports are on the science page. Glow Guardian candles are a home fragrance product and are not a medical device or a substitute for ventilation.
What is in it
Botanical, plant part, how it was extracted and where it was grown. In most of this category, 'fragrance' means an undisclosed synthetic blend.

Light it in the room you are actually in, and let it burn long enough for the wax to melt to the edge. Trim the wicks before each burn, use it on a stable level surface, and keep it away from drafts, children and pets.
One candle is suited to a room of about 150–250 ft². In larger or open-plan spaces, use more than one.
A 12 oz (340 g) blend of soy at 55%, coconut at 35% and beeswax at 10%, with three lead-free cotton wicks, in a matte cream glass jar. Scent, where there is any, comes from essential oils. There is no paraffin, no phthalate, no dye and no synthetic fragrance. The wax also carries a trace of metallic silver at roughly 10 micrograms per gram.
About 40 hours, at roughly 8 grams per hour. Trim the wicks before each burn and let the first burn reach the edge of the jar.
Deliberately restrained. Most of this category competes on throw strength. This one does not — the scent is meant to be noticed when you walk in and then leave you alone.
