Cleveland Makers: Zav Candle Co.'s RX Candle Is Built Around Relaxation

As far as prescriptions go, this one is easy to fill. Just light the Rx Candle ($15) from Zav Candle Co. for a dose of relaxation. Warning: may cause all worries to melt away.

Perfect for dinner parties with friends or a quiet night in with your favorite book, this scented candle comes in five different warm and inviting scents. With choices such as vanilla, sea salt, mango, lavender and Black Sea (a customer favorite), each fragrance brings a fresh and calming essence to any room, while the thick wood wick creates a satisfying crackling noise for added ambiance.

Created with the purpose of easing anxiety, particularly for mothers, Zav Candle Co. owner Alanna Jordan gets help from her two children to make each candle.

Jordan starts by measuring the wax and fragrance oils and then prepping the wicks. After that, she lets the candle set overnight before adding a label and putting it on a shelf, just waiting for you to come pick it up.

“I just want to build something where it’s all about self-care, empowerment, just making people feel better and have a relaxing, warm environment around them,” Jordan says. facebook.com/zavcandle
