The Rise of Handmade

Once upon a time, everything was handmade. Clothing, furniture, soap, candles—if you needed it, chances are you made it yourself or knew someone who did. But as mass production became the norm in the wake of the Industrial Revolution, handmade goods began to fall by the wayside. They were seen as old-fashioned, inefficient, and expensive. In recent years, however, there has been a resurgence in interest in handmade products. Here's a look at why handmade soaps, incense, and candles are making a comeback.

The Return to Nature
One of the reasons for the renewed interest in handmade goods is a desire to return to nature. In an age of mass-produced everything, there is something appealing about using products that are made by hand with natural ingredients. Handmade soaps, for example, can be made with all-natural ingredients like olive oil and crushed lavender buds. They're free of harsh chemicals and fragrances, making them gentle on the skin and better for the environment.

The same is true of handmade incense and candles. Commercial incense is often made with synthetic fragrances and other harmful chemicals. Handmade incense, on the other hand, is usually made with natural ingredients like sandalwood, resins and essential oils. This makes it safer to burn and more pleasant to be around. Candles are often made with paraffin wax, which produces harmful toxins when burned. But handmade candles are non-toxic and actually purify the air when burned. We ensure all our suppliers use ingredients that are sustainable and organic. Even our soy wax candles are sourced from soy grown in Europe, and not in areas such as rainforests.

The Appeal of Small Batches
Another reason for the popularity of handmade goods is that they are typically produced in small batches. This means that each batch is slightly different from the last, which adds an element of uniqueness to these products. It also means that they are often made with high-quality ingredients since there's no need to cut corners to produce large quantities quickly and cheaply. When you use handmade soaps, incense, or candles, you can be sure that you're getting a product that has been created with care and attention to detail.

Conclusion:
There's no doubt about it—handmade soaps, incense, and candles are enjoying a resurgence in popularity thanks to a desire for all things natural and a focus on quality over quantity. If you're looking for products that are gentle on your skin and good for the environment, look no further than your local farmer's market or crafts fair. You're sure to find something special that you'll love!
