Different brain wave states correspond to different moods and mindsets. Carefully chosen essential oils can help support the conditions that allow these states to arise naturally.

Our founder uses Gamma for daytime creativity, Beta for focused work and getting things done, Alpha for yoga, afternoon daydreaming, or slow weekend reading, and Theta as her signature scent in the evenings. Let your intuition guide you!

Generally, we use pure essential oils, plant-based waxes, cotton wicks, and natural mineral salts in our bath soak — always selected for quality, therapeutic benefit, and sustainability. For more specifics, visit the product page corresponding to your curiosity.

Only natural essential oils are used. No synthetic fragrances — ever. We believe in the intelligence of natural materials and their ability to interact harmoniously with the body’s own chemistry. For more info, click here.

Yes, when used as directed. Every product in Brain Wave is thoughtfully formulated to be gentle and supportive for regular use. As with all aromatherapy and botanical products, we encourage tuning into your body’s unique responses and ensuring good ventilation when burning candles.

Individual experiences with essential oils may vary. If you are pregnant, nursing, under medical care, or managing a health condition, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before use.

Yes. Brain Wave products are designed to integrate seamlessly into the rhythms of your day — whether you are working, meditating, winding down, or preparing for deep sleep. Just remember to extinguish candles before falling asleep.

Brain Wave was created by a psychotherapist to be both functional and beautiful — drawing on neuroscience, aromatherapy, and sensory design. Every product is intentionally crafted to support a specific brain wave state, offering more than mood — offering a tool for the deeper architecture of how you think, feel, and restore.

Yes. Brain Wave candles are plant-based, cruelty-free, and thoughtfully formulated.

No. While Brain Wave products were created to support emotional and cognitive well-being, they are not a substitute for therapy, medication, or medical care. They are tools for enhancement, not replacement.

Sustainability is central to our process. We use plant-based, biodegradable waxes, recyclable or reusable packaging, and sustainably sourced essential oils wherever possible. We prioritize clean-burning candles, minimal waste, and eco-conscious materials.

If you are scent-sensitive, we recommend starting slowly — perhaps by using the Delta bath soak or burning a candle in a well-ventilated space. Trust your body’s feedback, and know that you can always enjoy the scent more subtly by controlling how much and how long you use the products.

• Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn.
• Allow the candle to form a full melt pool across the surface during the first burn to prevent tunneling.
• Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time.
• Keep away from drafts for a steady, even burn.
• Always place on a heat-safe surface and never leave unattended.
• Burn candles within sight at all times.
• Keep candles away from children, pets, and flammable materials.
• Discontinue use when ½ inch of wax remains.

Mushrooming — when the wick forms a small carbon ball after burning — is a natural occurrence in candles made without chemical additives. It’s simply a sign of a pure, cotton wick burning clean wax and essential oils.

To maintain a steady, beautiful flame, simply extinguish the candle, trim the wick to about ¼ inch, and relight.

Part of the beauty of natural candles is embracing their subtle, living qualities.

You may notice small beads of oil on the surface of the candle, especially in warmer temperatures. This is a natural reaction in clean, essential oil-based candles free from synthetic stabilizers. It’s simply the essential oils responding to heat.

Gently blot the surface with a clean tissue if you wish — it will not affect the performance, quality, or fragrance experience.

True botanical candles breathe and shift with their environment — a mark of their purity.
