Mantra's story
How our mission started -
I've always loved designing and making homemade soaps, skin care products and creating new recipes on my own. All products alwas had two features common in common - they were natural and sustainable.
When I came across the idea of candles made from natural sources, I was impressed by how much more of a sustainable choice soy candles are in comparison to paraffin candles, and how essential oils can scent the home while also having a significant effect on a person's well-being. Then I decided to add crystals to the candles and my project became truly magical. I approach candles holistically, I want them to visually enrich the living space, fill it with positive energy and spread the idea of a more sustainable way of life - all at the same time. When I started designing other products, like silk scrunchies - I followed the exact same idea, they are practical healthy and sustainable.
I add an affirmation note to each product, which makes us stop for a moment in this hectic lifestyle and reminds us of something positive. Affirmations and a holistic approach to product design were also the inspiration for the name that I chose for my company - Mantra, holistic self care shop. Join me in discovering new products, different scents, experiences and become a part of Mantra's story!
Candle containers
Each concrete container is a unique handmade product, so there may be minor differences between them. It is impossible to completely prevent the formation of air bubbles and they also add a special charm for the final product, so we don't even strive to completely prevent them completely.
Soy wax
Vegan soy wax is more challenging to work with than commercial waxes, as the room and the containers must have a specific temperature when pouring - even the slightest change can cause air bubbles or the appearance of "frosting" on the surface. Nevertheless, all of the mentioned above doesn't affect the quality of the candle.
Crystals
Crystals are natural stones used in alternative healing approaches. They influence our energy field and regulate physical and mental problems, in a way that they redirects the flow of energy and remove blockages in the body and spirit.
Natural materials
Soy wax is biodegradable, and concrete containers are made from a mixture of cement - clay and limestone, but due to other additives they categorize as mixed waste. Crystals are completely natural stones, so we can easily return them to the nature. Dried flowers are organically grown and dried in Slovenia, so they can also be returned to nature.
Reuse the concrete pot and discover ...
The Mantra candle is a carefully crafted product with an extended lifespan
When the candle burns out, pour boiling water into the concrete pot and wait for it to cool. The wax will float to the top and solidify, scoop it out and clean the residue with paper.
Choose a small pot for planting that has holes in the bottom.
Put soil into the pot
Costumer reviews
I LOVE HOW THE FRAGRANCE OF THE CANDLE DIFFUSES THROUGHOUT THE ROOM EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT LIGHTED. I AM EXCITED ABOUT THE CONTRAST OF THE ORANGE FIRE AND THE RUSTIC GRAY CONCRETE POT AND THAT THE CANDLE IS COMPLETELY HANDMADE.REALLY LOVELY IDEA.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH CANDLES, THEY ARE DIFFERENT, UNIQUE. I BOUGHT MY GIRLFRIEND A SATYA CANDLE AS A GIFT, SHE WAS EXCITED.

I LOVE THE SILK SCRUNCHIE! I WEAR MY HAIR BRAIDED MANY TIMES AND IN ADDITION TO LOOKING GOOD, MY CURLY HAIR DOESN'T TANGLE LIKE WITH OTHER ELASTIC BANDS.

THE NATURAL INGREDIENTS ARE WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MANTRA CANDLES, THAT'S WHY I USE THEM WITHOUT A BAD CONSCIENCE, AND MANTRA CONTAINERS ARE A BEAUTIFUL ADDITION TO MY HOME.
