Özemi Beauty

Hi community, it’s Ruben 🌿 founder of ÖZEMI Beauty.

It’s been a little while since our last post, and I wanted to take a moment to check in. The past few months have been difficult—for me personally, and for so many small businesses navigating today’s climate.

But ÖZEMI has always been about healing, and resilience. That vision hasn’t changed—it’s only grown stronger. ✨

We’re still here, still creating, and I can’t wait to share our new products with you soon. Thank you for standing with us—your support truly keeps ÖZEMI alive.

With gratitude & love,

Meet Alma—the soul of purification. Inspired by the cherished remedies of Latin America, where a simple cup of oregano tea from mom could soothe and heal. With notes of rosemary, camphor, oregano, and sandalwood, this candle embodies the essence of herbal wisdom and cleansing energy.

Light Alma and let its perfect herbal blend transform your space into a sanctuary of peace and renewal. ✨🕯️

“I’ve made a promise to myself: every time I notice a glimmer, I take 10 seconds to deeply feel the joy and peace it brings. These small moments of light always pull me back to a higher vibration. At ÖZEMI Beauty, we believe the more abundant we feel, the more abundance we attract. It’s about staying intentional, grounded, and connected to the beauty around us. ✨

Let’s embrace the glimmers together. 🌟

ROSA NEGRA | BLACK ROSE
A dark and seductive blend of rose, oud, blackberry, fennel, and cardamom. Originally created as a tribute to melanin, this candle has evolved into a universal celebration of depth and beauty. Sweet, bold, and unapologetically complex—Rosa Negra invites you to embrace the power of contrast.

🌹✨ Available now from ÖZEMI Beauty.

CANDLE CARE
I’ve said this countless times—on social media, at markets, and wherever I can—but it’s worth repeating: Always TRIM YOUR WICK before lighting your candle and avoid blowing it out.

Why is this so important? I get this question all the time, so here’s why:
• Safety First: A long wick creates a larger flame, increasing the risk of fire.
• Even Burn: A long wick often causes uneven melting, with one side of the candle burning faster than the other.
• Extend Burn Time: Trimming your wick slows down the burn, ensuring your candle lasts longer and melts evenly.

Taking these small steps not only keeps you safe but also helps you get the most out of your candles.

Enjoy this candle care tip, and remember—a little care goes a long way!

✨ Peruvian Palo Santo Cones ✨

Handmade and ethically sourced from Peru, these 15-piece sets ($24) are perfect for clearing negative energy, attracting positivity, and restoring balance.

Used for centuries in spiritual rituals, Palo Santo connects us to nature and the divine. Elevate your space with this sacred aroma.

🌧️ Grateful for the rain.

Our Terrain candle is inspired by the scent of petrichor—that earthy aroma after rain meets soil. With notes of patchouli, neroli, petitgrain, and jasmine, Terrain captures the grounding beauty of nature’s freshest moments.

This Thanksgiving, we’re thankful for the small, grounding reminders of life’s beauty.

What are you grateful for today?

🌿 Selva: For the Tree Huggers 🌿

Selva is your connection to nature, inspired by the serenity of the forest. With notes of amyris orris, verbena, and purple saffron, this candle brings the essence of the outdoors into your space.

Grounding, calming, and perfect for those who find joy in the wild. 🌲✨

Tai-ku: In Good Spirits

Tai-ku, meaning “in good spirits” in the Taíno language, is inspired by the sacred scents of my childhood, growing up in a Catholic church. This candle resonates with the timeless aroma of the incense that filled those spiritual spaces.

Notes:
• Frankincense: Warm and reflective.
• Palo Santo: Grounding and purifying.
• Myrrh: Earthy and rich.
• Bergamot: Bright and uplifting.

Let Tai-ku bring peace, nostalgia, and connection to your space.

✨ Santo Domingo ✨

With notes of amber, sandalwood, and black coral, this candle is homage to our founder culture. It was essential to create something that represents the warmth and richness of Ruben Dominican roots.

Light it, and let it transport you.
