Pure Light - natural candles
candle is created from the finest essential oils and made from
natural, sustainably-sourced soy wax. As soon as I lit it, the
lovely fragrance and warm glow soon filled the room with
the warming Christmas aromas of cinnamon, orange and
clove. This blend also works as a natural antiseptic, helping to
banish germs during colder months. It comes in a clear glass
holder with replaceable lid and I’ve used the candle for a few
hours every evening after work for five evenings now and there
is still around half of the candle left."

The Beauty Bible LOVES Pure Light candles!
We've got reason to celebrate - renowned beauty journalist, co-author of The Beauty Bible (and founder of Green & Black's chocolate) Jo Fairley, loved our Bergamot, Grapefruit and Rosemary scented candle. Featuring on the 'We Love' section of the The Beauty Bible online, read on to find out more...
Pure Light candles, £22. One of the things I really don’t like about scented candles is the way they become dust-traps. So I really appreciate that this Pure Light candle comes with a metal lid that can cover it up when not in use – although frankly, the candle I’m enjoying is so addictive, there’s not much chance of it gathering dust on my desk. (The burn time is a generous 50 hours – and the candles burn evenly, unlike some I could mention.) My particular favourite is Bergamot, Grapefruit & Rosemary – a wonderful summery uplifting smell that’s great for the office, as it keeps me alert. But the all-natural scented candles also come in Lemongrass & Lime, Mandarin and Lavender, English Lavender and Cinnamon, Orange and Clove (a limited edition that almost – well, sort of – makes me look forward to Christmas). Pure Light promise the candles are made without any artificial ingredients at all, using soya wax. (In order to avoid the use of paraffin, some natural candles use palm wax – which has been linked with rainforest devastation.)
