Don't Get Bugged By The Bugs.
Perfect for when you're lounging in the great outdoors. These all natural citronella candles are handcrafted with an exclusive blend of beeswax, soy wax, and pure essential oils of lavender, citronella, and cedarwood — making them highly effective against mosquitoes. Presented in a modern and sturdy 6.5 oz. concrete cup that is 3.5" tall x 3" wide. Heck yes, you can repurpose it; the label in the photo readily peels off.
P.S. Before you say, hey that's expensive. Remember, this cutie is made from all natural ingredients and handmade in the USA by folx that care.
WHAT'S GOOD?
WHAT DOES IT REPLACE?
Drippy, fast burning, soot producing, petroleum-based, fragrance-infused candles.
BORING (BUT USEFUL) STUFF
NET WT. 6.5 oz
Size: 3.5" h x 3" w
For best results and to get approximately 30 hours of burn time...
Trim wick to 1/4" before lighting.
Burn at least 2 hours per lighting.
Place on heat resistant surface.
Allow 10 minutes to cool before touching.

HINT: You'll want to reuse this cool concrete cup after, so you may want to pull the candle out before you burn it and place a few drops of oil or a little wax paper or parchment underneath it. This way, when the candle is depleted, you can remove the dregs easily.
