DotCalm is a portal to your own personal sanctuary. Our candles are designed to soothe, detox and destress from today’s non-stop, 24/7, cray-cray world.

Let’s ask our ancestors. For centuries, supernatural oils like lavender, eucalyptus, sage and peppermint have been used to help people naturally detox from the world’s annoyances; like unexpected ice ages, cave-mansplaining and 24/7 news coverage of the Crusades.

It’s been a thing since 4500 BC. That’s about when the Egyptians and Persians discovered the magical properties of essential oils. DotCalm candles are infused with lavender, sage, eucalyptus or peppermint oil. Each with their own unique healing (supernatural) powers. Legend has it, Cleopatra used lavender to relax whenever Marc Antony was being a twit.

Our candles have the ideal fragrance level of 8%. Not too little where you might think, I can’t smell it! Do I have Covid? Not too much where you get headachy, like getting sprayed at Bloomie's.

In our humble-brag opinion, nothing says “I see you,” “I get you,” “I know you’re going through it” like a DotCalm candle. You probably know someone right now who’s experiencing a shit day and could use a DotCalm detox.
