Experience the enchanting aroma of our Exotic Scented Brazil Nut Candles, meticulously crafted from the pods of the majestic Brazil Nut tree, one of the tallest trees in the Amazon Rainforest. These unique candles not only provide a delightful fragrance but also contribute to environmental sustainability. The artisans transform what would otherwise be a waste product into a beautiful and functional gift for your home.
In a world increasingly affected by global warming, the need for sustainable practices is more crucial than ever. The Brazil Nut tree thrives in undisturbed forests, making these candles a part of an initiative aimed at preserving over 200,000 hectares of the Amazon Rainforest. By purchasing these candles, you are supporting the livelihoods of more than 400 Amazon nut gatherers and their families, helping to protect the environment while enjoying a luxurious product.
Each candle is handmade in Peru, ensuring that every piece is unique and crafted with care. The artisans use a blend of clean-burning paraffin wax, palm oil, and exotic fragrances to create a product that is not only beautiful but also environmentally friendly. The candles measure between 2-1/4" to 2-3/4" high with a diameter of 4" to 4-1/2", making them a perfect addition to any decor.
Our Exotic Scented collection includes a range of delightful fragrances such as Cinnamon, Coconut, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Red Wine, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Each scent is designed to evoke the essence of the rainforest, providing a sensory experience that transports you to the heart of nature.
By choosing our Brazil Nut Candles, you are not only indulging in a luxurious product but also supporting local Peruvian artisans. Candela Peru, the organization behind these candles, has been working since 1989 to improve the livelihoods of farmers in the Madre de Dios region. This area, rich in biodiversity, is one of the poorest in Peru, and the Brazil nut industry provides a vital source of income for many families.
Candela Peru is committed to promoting sustainable practices in the Brazil nut industry. They work closely with 266 farmers to ensure that the harvesting of Brazil nuts is done in an environmentally responsible manner. This includes implementing social and environmental projects that benefit both the community and the rainforest.
In 2001, Candela Peru developed an Organic Certification program to help local producers tap into the growing organic market. They provide education on sustainable forestry practices, helping farmers understand how to manage their resources effectively while still earning a living. This initiative not only improves the quality of life for farmers but also promotes forest conservation in a biologically diverse region.
In summary, our Exotic Scented Brazil Nut Candles are more than just a beautiful addition to your home; they are a testament to sustainable practices, community support, and environmental conservation. Enjoy the rich scents of the rainforest while making a positive impact on the world around you.
