All of La Toad candles are hand made using unique designs that bring light, tranquility, personality and style to any space in your home. The ideas for my candle designs come from a multitude of influences. Everywhere I go my eyes are constantly on the lookout for fresh ideas. I find inspiration from simple everyday things like the trim of an awning or the wood grain on a fence. I like to incorporate architectural elements, textile patterns, and organic shapes from nature. The design on each candle is thoughtfully conceived and executed by hand one candle at a time.
The all-natural, fragrance free beeswax candles are a perfect accessory for any room, and they make fantastic gifts for any occasion.
My hand rolled beeswax candles not only provide a beautiful aesthetic appeal, but they are actually good for you too! Unlike the paraffin-based candles that emit harsh chemicals and soot into the air, pure beeswax candles actually purify the air when burned. Burning beeswax releases negatively charged vapors into the air. These negatively charged vapors remove dust, odors, allergens, and other chemicals that are positively charged. Voila—cleaner air for all of us to breathe! Beeswax candles are clearly the healthy choice for both allergy sufferers and for all of us who want to support a cleaner,greener environment.
Beeswax candles are also novel in the way they burn. The all natural make up of the wax coupled with the tight, hand-rolling technique used to form them allows them to burn with minimal dripping. They burn directly down the middle guided by the wick that creates a shell-like structure. The shell creates an illuminated wall bestowing a soothing and romantic feel every time you light up! An added advantage of beeswax is that it has a much longer burning life than paraffin candles. Our eight-inch tall pillar candles burn for approximately 100 hours
