You know we love essential oils, yes? Yes. But if I could tell you how hard it is to find a simple, lovely, non-synthetic scented candle on a budget—with a smell that doesn’t make us gag—you’d be shocked.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve fallen head over heels for candles like these ones from Ila or these ones from Red Flower or (maybe my favorite) these ones from EkoMiko—and it’s not that they’re not worth the price. These are wonderful gifts for someone you love, especially yourself. But since I like burning candles all day, every day, you can see how that would become a very expensive habit.

Enter Blissoma—a natural beauty company that offers extremely affordable clean products—which is great. Their creams are a little on the light side for my skin (I’m very excited to try their clay mask though), but the candles? Finally. Smart scent combinations like lavender and chamomile (Calm) or cedar with nutmeg and black pepper (Delight). And they sell for $8 a pop. Eight bucks! My only complaint—and really, can I complain at that price?—is that the scents aren’t as strong as I’d like. They don’t really fill a room the way we’re used to with (usually synthetic) scented candles, but that’s also a testament to how clean they are. To boot, they’re soy not beeswax, if you’re vegan. Win!
