Product Background
The Ember’s sleek terracotta cover is sourced from the Yunnan Province of China, where artisans have taken advantage of this material’s thick, pliable texture to create pottery, sculptures and other artwork for centuries. Before the widespread use of clay kilns, ancient pieces of terra-cotta were left to harden in the hot sun and then baked in the embers of an open fire, which was part of the inspiration for the Ember’s name and style. The Ember’s terracotta cover is molded, hand refined and baked in a kiln at 679 °C (1,255 °F) for 10 hours and then set to cool for 14 hours.
The sustainable rubberwood base is cultivated in Thailand from Pará rubber trees. Part of what makes these particular trees so sustainable is that they are harvested only after being tapped for rubber production for 20-25 years. Once the trees have fully matured and the rubber is dried up, they are then used to create high-quality hardwood products—most commonly furniture and home goods like the Ember Diffuser. Once the trees are harvested, new rubber trees are planted in their place, continuing the cycle. The combination of terracotta, eco-friendly rubberwood and Young Living sustainably sourced essential oils makes the Ember one of the most eco-friendly diffuser options ever made.
