Our Ingredients

At Wellness by Ari, we believe the ingredients you bring into your home and apply to your skin should be chosen with intention. Every product we make — from our beeswax candles and goat milk soaps to our grass-fed tallow skincare, bath rituals, and outdoor essentials — is crafted with a focus on quality, simplicity, and beautiful performance.

We are drawn to ingredients with a purpose: rich but uncomplicated, luxurious yet practical, and rooted in a more natural approach to everyday living. Rather than filling our products with unnecessary extras, we focus on materials and ingredients we trust — time-honored, thoughtfully sourced, and selected for the way they feel, function, and elevate the ritual of daily care.

Beeswax Candles

Our candles are made with 100% American beeswax blended with a small amount of organic coconut oil for a smoother, more even burn. The result is a candle that feels warm, clean, and quietly luxurious — with the soft golden glow and natural beauty only beeswax can offer.

Why Beeswax Beeswax is one of our favorite materials for the home. It burns beautifully, has a naturally subtle honeyed aroma, and brings a warm, ambient glow to any space. Timeless and uncomplicated, it reflects the same philosophy that guides the rest of our line: simple ingredients, beautifully made.

Why We Use Coconut Oil Pure beeswax is naturally dense. A small amount of organic coconut oil helps soften the wax blend for a more even burn, improved performance, and a cleaner overall candle experience while preserving the integrity of the beeswax itself.

Our Wicks We use wooden wicks and hemp wicks, depending on the candle style and vessel. Wooden wicks create a beautiful modern flame and a soft crackling ambiance. Hemp wicks offer clean, reliable performance in select candle styles. Each wick is chosen intentionally to complement the candle's design, wax blend, and burn performance.

Our Candle Scents Our candles are scented with carefully chosen blends designed to create a warm, grounding, and elevated atmosphere in the home. We use only GC/MS-certified essential oils in products where essential oils are included, allowing us to prioritize both quality and purity in every aromatic experience.

Grass-Fed Tallow Skincare

Our skincare is centered around grass-fed beef tallow, a deeply nourishing ingredient prized for its rich, comforting feel on the skin. Tallow has been used in traditional skincare for generations, and we love it for the way it creates luxurious, moisture-rich formulas with a beautifully simple ingredient profile.

Across our creams, balms, lotions, and body care, we pair tallow with other thoughtfully chosen ingredients such as:

Olive-Derived Squalane: A lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that mimics your skin's natural oils, locking in deep hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.
Jojoba Oil: Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, this gentle botanical oil closely resembles human sebum, helping to balance and soothe all skin types.
Shea Butter: A deeply penetrating, nutrient-dense butter that softens dry areas and provides a lasting, protective moisture barrier.
Botanical Extracts & Infusions: Carefully selected plant extracts that provide targeted nourishment, calm irritation, and support overall skin health.
Essential Oils (Where Appropriate): GC/MS-certified oils used thoughtfully to provide gentle, natural fragrance and holistic botanical benefits.

The result is skincare that feels rich, restorative, and elegant in its simplicity.

Goat Milk Soaps

Our goat milk soaps are crafted to feel creamy, gentle, and nourishing in everyday use. Goat milk helps create a rich, silky lather and a bar that feels both comforting and indulgent on the skin.

Depending on the formula, our soaps may also feature ingredients such as:

Grass-Fed Tallow & Nourishing Oils: Create a hard, long-lasting bar that cleanses effectively without stripping your skin of its natural moisture.
Colloidal Oatmeal: Naturally soothing and calming, perfect for gently comforting sensitive or easily irritated skin.
Raw Honey: A natural humectant that draws moisture into the skin while offering gentle, skin-loving restorative properties.
Natural Clays: Earth-derived clays like kaolin or bentonite that gently draw out impurities, provide a silky slip, and offer mild exfoliation.
Botanical Additives & Essential Oils: Used to provide natural color, gentle texture, and beautiful, grounding aromas.

Each bar is made with the intention of turning an ordinary routine into something softer, slower, and more beautiful.

Bath Rituals

Our bath and shower products are designed to bring a sense of calm, comfort, and restoration to the everyday.

Bath Salts Our bath salts are made with mineral-rich ingredients chosen to create a simple, spa-like soak. Depending on the blend, they may include:

Epsom & Sea Salts: High in naturally occurring minerals like magnesium to help soothe tired muscles and promote deep relaxation.
Clays & Botanical Powders: Used to soften the bathwater and provide gentle, skin-conditioning benefits.
Essential Oil Blends: Aromatherapeutic blends designed to help you unwind, breathe deeply, and center yourself.

Shower Steamers Our shower steamers are designed to release a burst of aroma into the steam of your shower, creating an uplifting or calming sensory ritual. We keep them purposeful and performance-driven, using:

Baking Soda & Citric Acid: The gentle effervescent base that activates when touched by water, releasing the aroma into the steam.
Aromatic Essential Oils: High-quality botanical oils chosen for their ability to clear the mind, support deep breathing, or promote relaxation.

Outdoor Essentials

Our outdoor defense products are made with plant-based ingredients selected to support time outdoors more comfortably. These formulas feature a combination of botanical and essential oils traditionally used in outdoor body care:

Lemon Eucalyptus, Citronella & Lemongrass: Time-tested, vibrant aromatics historically known to naturally deter outdoor nuisances.
Cedarwood, Rosemary, Geranium & Peppermint: Grounding and refreshing essential oils that naturally complement our botanical outdoor shield while providing a cooling sensation on the skin.
Catnip & Neem Oil: Powerful, antioxidant-rich botanicals traditionally used to soothe the skin and provide a reliable, natural defense against the elements.

As with the rest of our line, we formulate with a focus on ingredient integrity, function, and a refined everyday experience.

Our Standards

At Wellness by Ari, we care deeply about what goes into each product and how it feels to use it. Across our collections, we prioritize ingredients that are chosen with purpose and aligned with the kind of home and body care we want for our own families.

That means:

Simple, thoughtfully selected ingredients
Grass-fed tallow in our skincare
100% beeswax in our candles
GC/MS-certified essential oils where essential oils are used
Formulas designed to be both functional and beautiful to use

We believe in products that bring together comfort, ritual, and quality — made to be enjoyed slowly, used often, and trusted daily.
