b'Objects With Purpose,"The Wearable Candle" Objects With Purpose is the culmination of experiences and vision of Ianthe Mauro. "Wearable candle" doubles as warm massage oil when lit, solid perfume when cool. Comes with matches & wooden dipping stick to access organic vegan coconut vegetable wax as body butter! Each of her candles is hand-poured with a clean-burning wax that contains organic coconut, apricot and shea butters, along with a proprietary blend of essential oils for fragrance. The wax burns at a low temperature, so you can use it as soothing body butter when it\\u2019s warm (perfect for moisturizing and massages) and a solid perfume when it\\u2019s cool. Her scents are sophisticated and appealing, including the soothing Fight or Flight, laced with jasmine and vanilla; vibrant Dahlia, with rose and lychee; Gifted, which combines white tea, fig and tobacco in an alluring blend; and Archetype Rising, a meld of peony, cucumber and firewood. All of the elements -- from the organic butters, essential oils and cotton wicks to the glass containers and reusable muslin packaging -- come from U.S. suppliers. Once upon a time, Ianthe\'s kindergarten teacher lit a candle before lunch at her Waldorf School, taking a moment to give gratitude. Lighting a candle became Ianthe\'s way of giving thanks, focusing on an intention, creating warm fragrant ambiance, and calming down at the end of a long day. As an adult, Ianthe discovered many of the candles she\'d been lighting were toxic! Researching the safest cleanest candles to burn for her family, she discovered organic coconut butter wax.
