My Neighbor's

Details

A return to the old ways of candlemaking — hand-poured with three simple ingredients sourced from small farms and beekeepers in the Hudson Valley, New York. No synthetic fragrance, no paraffin, no soy. Just pure beeswax, grass-fed and finished beef tallow, and Wild Bergamot essential oil distilled from Monarda fistulosa harvested in Canada, working together to produce a clean, slow-burning candle with a grounding, uplifting scent that fills a room without overwhelming it. The double cotton wick ensures an even, steady burn from first light to last. More than a candle — a functional aromatherapy ritual rooted in ancestral wisdom and the belief that the best ingredients come directly from the earth.

How To Use

Light in the evening to soften your space — during a bath, a moment of stillness, or your daily wind-down ritual. On the first burn, allow the wax to melt fully to the edges of the vessel before extinguishing, to prevent tunnelling and extend the life of the candle. Trim the wick to approximately 5mm before each use for a clean, even burn. Keep away from draughts, flammable materials, and out of reach of children and pets.

Key Ingredients

• Grass-Fed & Finished Beef Tallow (Sebum Bovinum) — Harvested from regenerative farms in the Hudson Valley, New York. Tallow has been used as a candle base for centuries, prized for its clean, slow burn and its ability to hold and release essential oil fragrance more faithfully than paraffin or soy alternatives. Its high melting point ensures a longer, more even burn and a stable vessel throughout use.
• Beeswax (Cera Alba) — Sourced from small, independent beekeepers in the Hudson Valley, New York. Pure beeswax is one of the most naturally clean-burning waxes available — it produces no toxic by-products, burns brighter and longer than paraffin, and emits a subtle, natural honey warmth as it melts that complements rather than competes with the essential oil scent.
• Wild Bergamot Essential Oil (Monarda fistulosa) — Harvested in Canada from the native North American wildflower commonly known as bee balm. Distinct from the Italian bergamot used in Earl Grey tea, Wild Bergamot has a fresher, more herbaceous citrus-floral character with naturally occurring aromatherapy properties. Known for its grounding and uplifting qualities, it is used here to create a calming sensory experience that is present without being overpowering.
