About our artisanal manufacturing…
At Las Velas de Mariano we preserve 18th century manufacturing methods, which is why we make unique pieces with attention to detail. We only use pure waxes in our production, and we carry out a ritualization and purification process before starting to make candles and votive candles. In addition, we always try to work with noble and natural materials to maintain the purity of our product. We use molds made of special alloys, just as the ancient alchemists did, and our wicks are braided with 100% natural cotton with specific thicknesses for the correct combustion of each candle.
Many of our candles also come seasoned with herbs, plants and salts. Some of them are visible on the outside, but others we only see when the wax has already been consumed. These added ingredients are special mixtures used as remedies in ancient times, and are different for each request.
For us, candles are illusions, concerns, desires and needs of many people, that is why we continue working with the best materials to be able to offer effective self-help products within everyone's reach.
