At Magnolia Apothecary, we take pride in crafting each candle with care and precision. Our organic beeswax candles are not just products; they are a testament to the art of handcrafting and the passion we infuse into every step of the process. Join us on a journey through the meticulous steps involved in creating our beautiful aromatherapy candles.
Step 1: Cleaning and Prepping Jars
The journey begins with cleanliness and attention to detail. Our glass jars undergo a thorough cleaning process, ensuring that they are pristine and ready to hold the warm glow of our handcrafted candles.
Step 2: Priming Hemp Wicks
Our candles are ignited by hemp wicks that are carefully primed through a process of hand-dipping in organic beeswax. This ensures not only an even burn but also a connection to nature through the use of organic materials.
Step 3: Adhering Wicks to Glass Jars
With precision and expertise, the primed hemp wicks are adhered to the cleaned glass jars, setting the foundation for a perfectly crafted candle.
Step 4: Adjusting Wicks with Wick Holders
To guarantee an optimal burn, the wicks are adjusted to the perfect position using specialized wick holders, ensuring an even and steady flame.
Step 5: Melting Wax to Perfect Temperature
The heart of our candles lies in the wax, and achieving the perfect temperature is crucial. We carefully melt our organic beeswax to ensure the ideal consistency for crafting a high-quality candle.
Step 6: Mixing Wax with Essential or Fragrance Oils
Aromatic bliss is infused into our candles through a meticulous blending of organic beeswax and essential or clean fragrance oils. This step is where each candle gains its unique personality and therapeutic qualities.
Step 7: Hand Pouring Wax into Candle Jars
The moment of creation arrives as the wax, now infused with carefully selected scents, is hand-poured into each glass jar, turning raw materials into a work of art.
Step 8: Wax Curing
Patience is key. Our candles undergo a curing process, allowing the wax to set and solidify, ensuring a consistent and beautiful finish.
Step 9: Quality Check and Second Pour
Each candle undergoes a rigorous quality check, and if needed, a second pour is performed to perfect the appearance and performance of the candle.
Step 10: Additional Curing
After the second pour, our candles go through another curing phase, guaranteeing that they are ready to emit their enchanting fragrance once lit.
Step 11: Hand-Cut and Adhered Candle Labels
Our in-house designed and printed labels add a personal touch. Each label is hand-cut and carefully adhered to the glass jar, a symbol of the attention to detail that defines Magnolia Apothecary.
Step 12: Adhering Warning Sticker
Safety is paramount. A warning sticker is affixed to the bottom of each candle, providing essential information for our customers.
Step 13: Building Candle Gift Boxes
Our candles are not just products; they are gifts. Each gift box is meticulously crafted, reflecting the care we put into every aspect of our candles.
Step 14: Labeling Candle Gift Boxes
Our candle gift boxes receive the same attention to detail as our candles. Each box is labeled with care, ensuring a delightful unboxing experience.
Step 15: Building Shipping Boxes
To protect our creations on their journey to your doorstep, we craft sturdy shipping boxes that guarantee the safe arrival of our handcrafted candles.
Step 16: Packaging Candles for Dispatch
With precision and care, each candle is individually packaged to safeguard its beauty and fragrance during transit.
Step 17: Closing and Taping Shipping Boxes
The final step before dispatch involves sealing each box securely, ensuring that the unboxing experience is as delightful as the candle itself.
Step 18: Printing Shipping Labels
Personalized service extends to the shipping process. Each box receives a printed shipping label, and our candles are on their way to illuminate your space.
At Magnolia Apothecary, our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and the art of handcrafting is evident in every step of creating our organic beeswax candles. From the cleaning of jars to the sealing of shipping boxes, each process is infused with passion and care. Our candles are not just products; they are a testament to the dedication of our artisans and the desire to bring the warmth and beauty of handcrafted aromatherapy into your home.
