Botika FAQ
What does "Botika" mean anyway?
Botika: The name is derived from an old French word meaning "boutique."
Why are hand made candles so much better than machine poured candles?
Every Botika candle is hand poured! What this means is that you will receive the highest quality candle available. Each and every Botika candle is hand poured, hand polished, hand labeled, hand inspected, hand packaged, and then shipped to you. Botika candles are created with pride in the USA, thus Botika hand poured candles are of higher quality for this reason.
