Looops refill scented candle

Homecoming: With fine, spicy herbal scent of rosemary, lavender and clove. Aromatherapy effect: decelerates, warms, harmonizing energy.

Looops has developed the scented candles in this format with paper cup especially for refilling the jars with wooden lids. This means you can use the jars for a long time. As the wax is purely vegetable, it can be easily washed off the jars with hot water and a little washing-up liquid. Please note that the candles must not be lit in the paper cup, as it is not fireproof and does not stand securely. To make it easier to remove the candles, place the cup in the freezer for about an hour: the wax will then separate better from the cup wall. The four fragrances available are Mountain Air, Leisure Time, Homecoming and Evening Gold.

In the mountains, they say, the mind is free. It was in the mountains, more precisely in the Salzkammergut on the northern edge of the Alps, that Julia Schliefsteiner and Markus Niederfriniger came up with the idea of their own fragrancekerzen-Manufaktur to capture and preserve the scents of nature and take them home with them. The fire was lit: they founded Looops Kerzenmanuaktur, and the deeper they delved into the world of fragrances and aromas, the more they realized how far-reaching their effects could be and that the findings of aromatherapy could be wonderfully combined with their new craft. So Julia Schliefsteiner went straight on to complete her aromatherapy training and is now very familiar with the gentle extraction of essential oils and their effects.

True to their principle "Nature is good the way it is", they add neither artificial nor synthetic substances and use vegetable wax obtained from rapidly renewable plants (soy and rapeseed) - which also has the advantage that these plant-based candles burn longer and produce less soot than mineral oil-based ones. The wicks are made of pure cotton or even wood. Julia Schliefsteiner creates all the fragrances herself in the company's own "kitchen" near Salzburg. The scented candles are also made by hand there - a complex process involving many steps. It begins with the extraction of the valuable, fragrant and highly effective oils from herbs, flowers and fruits. For new creations, the mixtures of essential oils are first left to rest for a while so that the various fragrance components can blend into a single unit. Only then are small test candles poured and the fragrances tested over several days. The creations are usually inspired by the landscape of the Salzkammergut, the herbs on the mountain pasture or the forest shortly after the rain. After all, a hike through the mountains and nature not only clears the mind, but also fills it with new ideas.
