Your standard aromatherapy candle is made from petroleum-based wax, with a chemically-treated cotton wick, packaged in a new glass container. Soothing and sensual though it may be, it ain't green. Enter EkoMiko's line of eco-friendly aromatherapy candles. Created by actress/environmentalist Izabella Miko (of Deadwood, Coyote Ugly, and The Cape fame), EkoMiko candles are hand-poured using organic coconut butter wax. The wooden wicks are chemical-free, and the candles, which come in both women's (Ekoheroine) and men's (Ekohero) versions, are contained in recycled wine bottles. Even the box is biodegradable, and Izabella suggests it be planted to grow wildflowers. Smart!
