Why balms and candles?
While our award-winning blends contain up to 25 essential oils to deliver truly unique aromatic experiences, Scentered was not designed as a “fragrance” to be used as a perfume or cologne that will be noticeable throughout the day. We intentionally use moringa and shea butter as carriers for our balms to create a mess-free application when applied directly to the skin.
These natural moisturizing ingredients provide an immediate personal sensory experience when you “Stop. Inhale. Reset. ”, allowing you to transition your mindset as the essential oils are absorbed into your skin and the aroma gently fades. This frees you up to apply another blend a short time later as you transition from mindset to mindset throughout the day, without creating a complicated layering effect, allowing you to enjoy each blend as it was designed. Our Sleep Well balm is designed to last a little longer while you breathe deeply and fall asleep.
Our candles were developed to complement our Balm combinations and are intended to fill a room with conscious meaning. While other candles are all about fragrance, our candles are designed to reinforce the mental connection between desired thoughts and results created in the mind using our Wellness Ritual.
You can use our aromatherapy candles to create a personalized atmosphere or offer friends and family a shared sensory experience designed to produce a specific mental state on demand. For example, someone might wear our Happy Balm as a unique perfume while doing activities they enjoy and later light a Happy Candle when friends and family are visiting to create an atmosphere of shared joy.
We scour the globe in constant pursuit of the finest ingredients. We purchase only premium grade essential oils grown by reputable farmers and are mindful to manage sourcing to avoid creating demands that result in over-farming or depleted natural resources. These oils are blended with moringa, native to India, to provide moisture and nutrients including vitamin B and C, and shea butter, harvested from the nut of the African shea tree that is rich in vitamins A, D, E and F.
As a 100% natural brand, the ingredients we leave out are just as important as those we put into our products. We do not use parabens, PEGS, SLS, glycols, phenoxyethanol, silicones, or synthetic ingredients, fragrances or colours. Our candle wax is a sustainably sourced using natural soybean and grapeseed oils and a few other secret but natural ingredients to produce a clean burn.
We are eco-conscious, taking great care to minimize packaging waste, using recycled and/or recyclable materials and designing to minimize our carbon footprint while promoting the reusability of our packaging.
What Is Our Scentered Ritual?
Scentered’s “Stop. Inhale. Reset.” Wellbeing Ritual is about taking mindful moments for yourself throughout your busy day and using scent as a mental trigger to transition to your desired mindstate. When shifting from one desired mindstate to another, apply our Balms to your wrists, neck and temple liberally or light our Candles, inhale deeply and think about how you want to feel in the next moment. Repeat throughout your daily journey, navigating between our six unique blends to support your mindful transitions.
Stop - Apply a balm directly to your wrist, neck and temples or light a Scentered candle to purposefully fill the room with mindful meaning.
Inhale – Raise your wrists or candle to your nose and deeply inhale, visualising the mind state you wish to achieve in this moment.
Reset – Exhale deeply as you step into the next moment of your daily journey
