Earth Day is just around the corner, marking a time to reflect on our environmental impact and the ways we can contribute to a healthier planet. For enthusiasts and entrepreneurs alike, creating products like lotions, chapsticks, candles, and body sprays is often about balancing healthier, natural ingredients and sustainability. At Bulk Apothecary, we support your green initiatives by sourcing the best products at amazing prices. In celebration of Earth Day, we’re excited to share some of our favorite ingredients and recipes that emphasize sustainability and wellness.
Eco Friendly Candles
Organic Beeswax candles are a beacon of sustainability and natural beauty in the world of candle making. Prized for their natural, honey-scented aroma, they are a fantastic choice for those sensitive to smells, including individuals with asthma. But the benefits don’t stop there. Pure beeswax candles boast the ability to purify the air. When burned, they release negative ions that help remove impurities, ensuring the air in your home stays clean and fresh.
When it comes to fragrance Essential Oils and All-Natural Fragrance Oils complement the natural purity of beeswax candles, we offer a wide selection of essential oils and all-natural fragrance oils. These scents are:
- 100% Natural
- Phthalate-Free
- Paraben-Free
- SLS + SLES Free
- Vegan + Cruelty-Free
Choosing these fragrances ensures your candle-making process is not only eco-friendly but also safe and enjoyable for everyone involved. Learn to make Beeswax Candles Here

We’re excited about the addition of Tallow and Lard to our lineup. Lard and Tallow have been used throughout history in soap making and lotions. You can learn more about the history and benefits as well as try our moisturizing lotion whipped Tallow Lotion recipe on the blog here. If you want to explore the wonders of Lard, here is a lotion for you:
