Nether Providence Candles

At Minnie and Moon, we’ve always believed that the things we use every day should be made with care, integrity, and a little bit of heart. One of the joys of running a small business is connecting with other makers who share that same spirit. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce a beautiful new collection of candles from Nether Providence Soap, handcrafted right here in Delaware County by Saarene.

The Candles

Saarene’s candles are poured into reusable drinking glasses and made with a clean-burning blend of coconut and soy wax. They’re scented with non-toxic fragrance oils—so you get beautifully layered aromas without compromise. Burn time of 50 hours

• Woodland — Birch, cedar, and fir create a cozy evergreen scent that evokes winter walks through the woods and evenings by the fire.

• Arcadia — A bright, uplifting blend of grapefruit, mint, and thyme—invigorating, fresh, and perfect for mornings or kitchen spaces.
