Signature Candle by Solare This organic beeswax and pure soy blended candle is hand poured by two local mamas and co-owners of Solare. The scent is subtle, floral and unique, and it actually purifies the air (and is said to uplift the mood) by releasing negative ions. After all the past year has brought us, bring on those rose- scented good moods! Order online at solare-shop.com.
