Ingredient Facts
🧈 Shea Butter
Forms the base structure of each wax pearl. Provides a smooth, clean burn with no soot or black smoke. Gives the pearls their soft, round shape.
Sourced from West Africa — plant-based, vegan.
🥥 Coconut Oil
Acts as a natural binding agent in the wax blend. Helps the pearls melt evenly and produce a steady, consistent flame. Improves scent throw when essential oils are added.

🌿 RSPO Certified Vegetable Oil
Adds flexibility and burn duration to the wax formula. Ensures the pearls hold their shape at room temperature but melt smoothly when lit. Extends total burn time up to 120 hours per box.

Usage Duration
• Burn time: Each box provides up to 120 hours of burn time, depending on usage and the number of wicks used.
• Scent duration: The citronella fragrance stays active even when the candle is not lit. Lighting the candle enhances the diffusion, but the pearls continue to release scent at rest — keeping mosquitoes away around the clock.
• Wick spacing: For the best results, keep each wick at least 2 inches apart from one another to ensure an even burn and optimal scent release.

What our community says
How mosquitoes find you
Mosquitoes don't find you by chance. They detect the CO2 you exhale and the heat your body releases. That's how they track you down every single time, even in complete darkness.
What citronella does to their senses
Real citronella oil disrupts their ability to detect CO2 and body heat. They don't die. They simply lose your trace and move away. It's nature's own defence system against mosquitoes.
Why cheap citronella candles don't work
Store-bought citronella candles use synthetic fragrances, not real essential oil. The concentration is too low, the scent fades in minutes, and they burn out before they can do anything useful.
Why sprays, coils and zappers fall short
Sprays coat your skin in chemicals. Coils release toxic fumes near your family. Zappers kill insects that ecosystems actually need, and they buzz louder than the mosquitoes. None of them look good on your table either.
How Warmnest does it differently
100% natural citronella essential oil infused directly into plant-based wax pearls. Slow, steady scent release for up to 120 hours. Works even when unlit. And instead of an ugly plastic device, it looks like a centrepiece on your table.

6 ways to enjoy your summer without mosquitoes
1.Pour the pearls into your favourite container
Choose a container of your choice, whether it's an old candle container, a vase or something more creative. Gently pour the wax beads into the container. Fill the container to the desired height.
2.Insert the wick and light
Take a wick (included) and insert it into the centre of the wax beads. Make sure the wick is straight and protrudes only 1cm from the beads. A well-placed wick guarantees even combustion and a beautiful flame!
3.Light the wick with a lighter or match
Take your matchbox or lighter and light the wick(s) to enjoy the beautiful glow of your candle for as long as you like.
4.Replace the wick to get a spark plug!
After use, a wax capsule forms around the wick of your powder candle. Remove or turn over this capsule to reveal a fresh wick and enjoy your candle again as if it were brand new!
