The Story Behind the Aura Collection
At Bedition Candle Co., we always strive to create products that embody elegance, functionality, and environmental mindfulness. With the Aura Collection, we aimed not just to design another candle line but to offer something uniquely sustainable that could be integrated seamlessly into daily life long after the candle is enjoyed.
Each ceramic cup in the Aura Collection is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, ensuring each piece is unique and beautifully imperfect. The ceramic material was carefully chosen for its durability and timeless appeal. This decision aligns perfectly with our goal of sustainability, encouraging customers to appreciate the vessel not just for its immediate purpose but for the countless uses it can fulfill once the candle wax has been fully consumed.
This thoughtful approach to design embodies our philosophy: products should not only bring joy and comfort but also leave a minimal environmental footprint. By investing in the quality and versatility of our candle holders, we're helping to shift perspectives toward more conscious and purposeful living.

Using clean fragrance oils infused with essential oils, each candle in our Aura Collection is made to help you feel calm, balanced, and refreshed.
The fragrances chosen for these candles offer a wide range of therapeutic properties, from promoting relaxation and stress relief to boosting mood and improving air quality.
Essential oils can positively influence our emotional and mental health, making aromatherapy a beautiful addition to any holistic wellness routine. Whether you're meditating, winding down after work, or simply seeking a comforting environment, the Aura Collection candles can help transform your surroundings into a peaceful sanctuary.
