| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration | Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eucalyptus | Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil | High | Aromatic / Clarifying | Promotes clear breathing; mentally invigorating |
| Pine | Pinus Sylvestris Cone/Needle Extract | High | Aromatic / Grounding | Evokes forest atmosphere; calming and restorative |
| Rosemary | Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil | Mid | Aromatic / Stimulating | Mentally clarifying; traditionally associated with focus |
| Bergamot | Citrus Bergamia Peel Oil | Mid | Aromatic / Uplifting | Mood-elevating; warm citrus top note |
| Lemon | Citrus Limon Peel Oil | Mid | Aromatic / Brightening | Fresh top note; energising and clean-air effect |
| Soy Wax | Glycine Soja (Soybean) Wax | High | Carrier / Burn Base | Slow, clean burn; renewable plant-derived base |
Soy wax, derived from hydrogenated soybean oil, burns cooler and more slowly than paraffin, allowing the botanical fragrance compounds to diffuse gradually and consistently across up to 70 hours of burn time. The volatile aromatic molecules — including eucalyptol from eucalyptus and pinene from pine — are released into the air and interact with olfactory receptors, triggering limbic system responses associated with calm, focus, and wellbeing. The citrus top notes of bergamot and lemon volatilise first upon lighting, giving way to the deeper, resinous base of pine and rosemary as the burn deepens, creating a dynamically evolving scent profile.
