Element Tree Essentials is a small woman-owned business with a passion for creating captivating aromas and healing oil blends. Our artisanal lotion candles have become a cherished part of countless homes and spaces throughout the states.
ETE started from a deep appreciation for the power of scent and its ability to evoke emotions and memories. Drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of Asheville and its surrounding mountains, we embarked on a mission to create lotion candles that not only delighted the senses, but also brought a touch of nature's serenity into the home. Today the business has grown to include three retail locations and over 30 team members across two states.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I wait for the melted wax to cool down before applying to skin?
No! Feel free to indulge in the wonderful feeling of warm lotion on your skin right after you blow out the flame! The area around the wick will still hold heat, leaving it the same temperature as a warm bath.
Are your candles safe for everyone?
Due to the nut-based ingredients found in the candles, our candles are not suited for people who are allergic to nuts or nut-based products. If you are someone who is allergic to fragrances used in bath and body products, we suggest testing our product on a small area of skin before applying it to large areas of the body. Also, please be aware of potential candle-related accidents when using them around children.
Where are your candles made?
Each candle is hand poured in our workshop located in Asheville, North Carolina.
