Mother's Day is a special time for reflecting on the cherished memories and moments that define our lives. It’s about celebrating the warmth, nostalgia, and unique style every mom brings into our homes. At De Rosa Candles, we understand that gifting a candle goes far beyond a simple light source—it’s about sharing culture, tradition, and that irreplaceable feeling of home. Our Talavera-inspired candles, steeped in Mexican heritage and crafted with contemporary design, serve as the perfect expression of love and gratitude this Mother's Day.

Embracing Nostalgia and Mexican Heritage

Every mom holds a treasure trove of memories, from the comforting aromas of her childhood kitchen to the decorated rooms filled with family photos and artifacts. Our candles are designed to evoke that nostalgia and transport her back to those warm, tender moments. The intricate Talavera patterns are an homage to Mexico’s rich artistic traditions, merging vibrant colors with a modern twist.

At De Rosa Candles, we blend tradition with a contemporary edge. This means that while our candles carry the ethos of Mexican craftsmanship and culture, they also fit seamlessly into today’s modern living spaces. Whether placed strategically above the fireplace or next to family photos, our candles spark conversation and evoke memories that resonate deeply.

Artisanal Craftsmanship and Contemporary Design

Our journey started in Los Cabos in 2022, inspired by the need for contemporary Mexican home décor that spoke to our roots. Every candle is a culmination of passion, precision, and long hours of design and testing. With prototypes, 3D-printed molds, and over 100 trials per candle, we ensure that each product not only burns beautifully but also stands as a work of art.

The heart of our collection lies in the unique fusion of beeswax and soy wax. This careful blend honors age-old techniques while appealing to the modern sensibilities of sustainability and safety. Our candles do not only serve as delightful sources of light and fragrance but are also crafted to be stunning decorative pieces that celebrate your heritage in a contemporary manner.

Signature Products That Capture the Essence

We are proud to feature two special pieces from our collection, both crafted with a deep sense of purpose and nostalgia:

La Chela Candle en Blanco – a symbol of warm, homey elegance.

La Chela Candle en Azul y Blanco – highlighting vibrant Mexican motifs with a contemporary flair.

These candles are more than decorative accents; they’re imbued with meaning. La Chela Candle en Azul y Blanco features a gardenia scent, which has the power to brighten any living space, evoking the soft memories of childhood gardens and sunlit afternoons. Meanwhile, La Chela Candle en Blanco carries a woodsy sandalwood aroma that envelops a room in a warm, intimate glow, reminiscent of cozy family gatherings and quiet evenings at home.

Sensory Experience: Scents That Tell a Story

The emotional pull of a fragrance is undeniable. Our expertly curated scents not only stimulate the senses but also evoke deep-seated memories and feelings. This Mother’s Day, we invite you to gift a sensory journey that unfolds with every flicker of the flame.

Gardenia in the Blue Chela: The subtle gardenia scent carries a delicate sweetness that instantly lifts the mood. It recalls the fresh aromas of a blooming garden and the vibrant energy of spring—a perfect complement for moms who appreciate brightness and joy in their daily lives.

Sandalwood in La Chela en Blanco: For those who prefer a more grounded, comforting scent, sandalwood provides a warm, earthy aroma. It envelops the space like a soft blanket, creating a familiar ambience that is both relaxing and invigorating. This is ideal for the mom who treasures the feeling of home—a space where every corner tells a story.

Each time she lights one of these candles, she is whisked away to memories of shared meals, heartfelt conversations, and moments steeped in love and tradition.

Candle Care

FOR BEST RESULTS

Use a heat-proof holder on a flat, draft-free surface.
Never leave a burning candle unattended or move it while lit.
Trim the wick to 1/4 in. before each use.
For optimal results, limit burn time to 2 hours.
Stop burning when 1 in. of wax remains.
During the first burn, allow the melt pool to almost reach the edges to prevent tunnelling.

While all of our candles undergo thorough testing, please note that they are handmade, and individual candles may burn slightly differently.

How to Burn a Candle Safely

Before Lighting:

Before burning, always trim the wick to ¼ inch. You can use a wick trimmer, nail clippers, or scissors. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning, dripping or flaring.
Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times.
Always use a candleholder specifically designed for candle use. It should be heat resistant, sturdy, and large enough to contain any drips or melted wax.

Burn candles in a well-ventilated room:

Avoid drafts, vents or air currents. This will help prevent rapid or uneven burning, sooting, and excessive dripping.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on burn time and proper use. In general, it is recommended that candles do not burn for longer than four hours and cool for at least two hours before relighting.
When lighting a candle, use long matches or a long-reach lighter. Keep your hair and loose clothing away from the flame.

While Burning:

Never leave a candle unattended.
Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.
Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Do not place lighted candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else.
Never touch or move a candle while it is burning or while the wax is liquefied.
Don’t burn a candle all the way down. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1 inches remains.
Place burning candles at least three inches apart from one another. This is to make sure they don’t melt one another, or create their own drafts that will cause the candles to burn improperly.
Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. Let the candle cool, trim the wick, and check for unwanted drafts before re-lighting.
Never use a candle as a night light or while you may fall asleep.
Be very careful if using candles during a power outage. Flashlights and other battery-powered lights are safer sources of light during a power failure. Never use a candle during a power outage to look for things in a closet, or when fueling equipment – such as a lantern or kerosene heater.

When Extinguishing a Candle:

Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle. It’s the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering.
Never use water to extinguish a candle. Water can cause the hot wax to splatter and might break a glass container.
Make sure the candle is completely out and the wick ember is no longer glowing before leaving the room.
Don’t touch or move the candle until it has completely cooled.

PARA OBTENER MEJORES RESULTADOS

Utiliza un soporte resistente al calor en una superficie plana y libre de corrientes de aire.
Nunca dejes una vela encendida sin supervisión ni la muevas mientras esté encendida.
Recorta la mecha a 5 mm antes de cada uso.
Para obtener resultados óptimos, limita el tiempo de quemado a 2 horas.
Deja de quemarla cuando queden 2 pulgadas de cera.
Durante la primera quema, permite que el charco de cera casi alcance los bordes para evitar la formación de túneles.
Aunque todas nuestras velas son sometidas a pruebas exhaustivas, ten en cuenta que son hechas a mano y es posible que cada vela queme ligeramente de manera diferente.

Cómo quemar una vela de manera segura

Antes de encender:

Antes de quemarla, siempre recorta la mecha a ¼ de pulgada. Puedes usar un corta mechas, cortaúñas o tijeras. Las mechas largas o torcidas pueden causar quemado desigual, goteo o flambeo.
Mantén la piscina de cera limpia de recortes de mechas, fósforos y residuos en todo momento.
Siempre usa un portavelas específicamente diseñado para el uso de velas. Debe ser resistente al calor, robusto y lo suficientemente grande como para contener cualquier goteo o cera derretida.

Quema velas en una habitación bien ventilada:

Evita corrientes de aire, rejillas de ventilación o corrientes de aire. Esto ayudará a prevenir la quema rápida o desigual, el hollín y el goteo excesivo.
Sigue las recomendaciones del fabricante sobre el tiempo de quemado y el uso adecuado. En general, se recomienda que las velas no quemen durante más de cuatro horas y se enfríen durante al menos dos horas antes de volver a encenderlas.
Al encender una vela, usa cerillas largas o un encendedor de largo alcance. Mantén tu cabello y ropa suelta alejados de la llama.

Mientras esté quemando:

Nunca dejes una vela desatendida.
Nunca quemes una vela sobre o cerca de algo que pueda incendiarse. Mantén las velas encendidas alejadas de muebles, cortinas, ropa de cama, alfombras, libros, papel, decoraciones inflamables, etc.
Mantén las velas fuera del alcance de los niños y las mascotas. No coloques velas encendidas donde puedan ser derribadas por niños, mascotas o cualquier otra persona.
Nunca toques ni muevas una vela mientras esté quemando o mientras la cera esté licuada.
No quemes una vela hasta el final. Por margen de seguridad, deja de quemar una vela cuando quede 1/2 pulgada en el contenedor o 2 pulgadas si estás usando una vela de pilar.
Coloca las velas encendidas al menos a tres pulgadas de distancia unas de otras. Esto es para asegurarte de que no se derritan entre sí o creen sus propias corrientes de aire que harán que las velas quemen incorrectamente.
Extintingue una vela si la llama se vuelve demasiado alta o parpadea repetidamente. Deja que la vela se enfríe, recorta la mecha y verifica las corrientes de aire no deseadas antes de volver a encenderla.
Nunca uses una vela como luz nocturna o mientras puedes quedarte dormido.
Ten mucho cuidado si usas velas durante un corte de energía. Linternas y otras luces alimentadas por baterías son fuentes de luz más seguras durante una falla de energía.
Nunca uses una vela durante un corte de energía para buscar cosas en un armario o al cargar equipos, como una linterna o un calentador de queroseno.

Al extinguir una vela:

Usa un apagavelas para extinguir una vela. Es la forma más segura de evitar que la cera caliente salpique.
Nunca uses agua para apagar una vela. El agua puede hacer que la cera caliente salpique y podría romper un recipiente de vidrio.
Asegúrate de que la vela esté completamente apagada y que la brasa de la mecha ya no esté brillando antes de salir de la habitación.
No toques ni muevas la vela hasta que se haya enfriado por completo.
