Peppermint Scented Candle

Product Information

Unless you have a serious allergy or consume a large amount, only minor irritation will likely occur. We've all had our evening parties interrupted by bugs, but it's also common for a mosquito trapped in one of our rooms to be unable to find a way out. These candles contain 3 percent citronella oil to deter insects, and each one can burn for up to 50 hours.

However, it should always be borne in mind that such candles are not panaceas: even when burned for long periods, they will only have a beneficial effect within a few meters. You can make your candles bug repellent by adding some essential oils or extracts that release substances that insects find repellent when burnt. With it’s fresh and sharp scent, it will come as no surprise that our peppermint candle may be able to help relieve you of unwanted congestion. The most common of these natural substances are: citronella, neem, peppermint oil, lemongrass oil, pine oil, lavender oil and lemon eucalyptus extract. Citronella oil is an essential oil that comes from certain varieties of grass, and it naturally repels a variety of pesky insects, including mosquitoes.

Our peppermint scented candle is popular year-round for its uplifting fragrance and myriad of benefits.

Bugs can quickly put a damper on your time spent outdoors, and if you don’t want to douse yourself in bug spray every time you sit on your patio, it might be time to invest in a few citronella candles.

We highly recommend testing each oil thoroughly before batch production as results may vary based on individual recipes. It is often confused with citronella because of their similar appearance and main uses, but it is worth noting that lemongrass has a much stronger bug repellent effect than citronella. Not only is the lantern attractive, but it also comes with a cover that lets you protect the candle from the elements.

The three wicks ensure a more even burn, and for best results, you’ll want to place several of the candles around the perimeter of your outdoor living area.
