Exploring Our Roots: The Story Behind Our Candle Journey
Vela Bonita is more than just candles; it’s a journey of self-care and mindfulness, inspired by the generations of women in my life who struggled to take time for themselves and prioritize their well-being. As someone with a background in public health, I’ve always been driven by the desire to address the health disparities faced by underserved communities and my bachelors degree in Public health validates this.
Through research and a deep dive into everyday products, I discovered a troubling truth—the very items meant to bring ease and tranquility often contained harmful chemicals like carcinogens, parabens, and phthalates. This realization fueled my mission to create products free of these toxins, leading to the creation of Vela Bonita.
I believe that self-care should be enjoyable and meaningful. That's why I've crafted pure soy candles that not only promote relaxation but also contribute to overall wellness. Each candle is carefully infused with premium oils to enhance feelings of bliss and stillness, providing a sanctuary of tranquility free from harmful chemicals. Join me on this transformative journey towards a healthier, more mindful lifestyle with Vela Bonita.
Exploring the color of our logo
I wanted something that evoked a sense of deep serenity and stability while also feeling connected to my heritage. You often see sapphire blue in Mexico's textiles, pottery, and celebrations. Through this change, I am embodying something that feels true to Vela Bonita's values: self-care while honoring my roots. I have always loved the vibrant colors in Mexico's culture, and I see color as a form of resistance.
