Deep in the heart of the Himalayas, the pastoral community of Kali Gandaki crafts exquisite handmade soaps infused with the warmth of human touch and the gifts of nature. Here, women channel their industrious spirit and love for life into creating healing treasures for the world.
Our soaps are crafted using natural Himalayan herbs, ghee, and honey, each exuding a soothing aroma reminiscent of the pure mountain air and sunshine. The unique outer layer of felted wool, sourced from the high-altitude Manang region at 3,519 meters, is not just a charming decoration but also a natural foaming net. No need to peel it off—it’s practical, eco-friendly, and delightful. As the soap gradually dissolves with use, the wool transforms into an adorable coaster, adding a touch of simple joy to your daily life.
Kali Gandaki is more than the birthplace of these soaps—it’s a cradle of hope. By providing employment opportunities, we empower mountain women to rise above poverty and create brighter futures for their families with their skills and dedication.
Every time you choose Kali Gandaki, you’re nourishing your skin and supporting the dreams of women who pour their hearts into every product. Let this gift from the mountains bridge the gap between nature and humanity, bringing you enduring beauty and heartfelt connection.
Common questions
Notes on burning candles for the first time
When lighting a candle for the first time, allow the candle to burn until the wax on the surface has completely melted. This helps to avoid ‘wax puddles’ and ensures that the candle burns evenly.
How do I safely extinguish a candle?
To avoid spilling wax or generating smoke, it is recommended to use a special candle extinguisher or to extinguish the candle with the lid on. Do not blow out directly.
How to Remove Residual Wax from Candle Jars
To reuse the candle jars, place the jars in the freezer for 1-2 hours and then remove them and the wax will easily detach from the walls of the jars.
How to Avoid Tunneling When Candles Are Lit
When burning for the first time, make sure that the candle is burned until the wax is completely melted on the surface, covering the entire wax surface. This will help to prevent the problem of ‘wax puddles’ and prolong the life of the candle.
Can a candle burn to the bottom of the jar and still be used?
For safety reasons, candles should be discontinued with approximately 0.5 cm remaining in the bottom of the wax jar to prevent the jar from overheating or breaking.
What's the best way to store candles?
Please store the candle in a cool, dry place, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment.
Keep the candle lid covered to prevent dust or impurities from affecting the scent release.
