Featured Small Business: Amber Aura Beauty and Co.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — For Amber Bohanna, intentionality is more than a mindset—it’s a lifestyle.

“You have to make sure you’re connecting, you have to make sure you feel like you’re only here once,” he said. “You have to enjoy the moments, don’t think about tomorrow, don’t think about the past. It doesn’t matter, what matters is now.”

The founder of Amber Aura Beauty & Co. became familiar with minerals and crystals four years ago.

“I fell in love instantly,” Bohanna said. “They remind me of God’s beautiful creation. How beautiful life is.”

She decided to use ethically sourced crystals to complement her line of handmade organic candles and skincare products.

“I come up with all these fancy names for all my candles and I associate different intentions or just different meanings with them,” she said.

Whether you want to decompress with amethyst or treat stress lines with a charcoal-based soap, each product is carefully selected.

“Just creating, manifesting, building that positive mindset and looking forward to sharing that mindset with the world,” Bohanna said.

From her home in Fresno, Amber showed us the process of making handmade candles.

“I created this with the intention of growing where you are,” Bohanna said. “Recognizing where you are in your path, your journey, your life and knowing that anything is possible.”

Made from 100% soy wax, the Cultivate candle is topped with peach moonstone and sunflower.

“Vibe High”, with a mint and dried mint leaves aroma, has become a best-seller.

Customers are drawn to aromatherapy roll-ons made with essential oils and herbs blended to conquer any type of day.

“They reduce stress, improve sleep, induce feelings of love and courage – they all have a different scent,” she said.

Bath bombs, lip glosses, shea butter and honey soaps, and facial serums round out the list of customizable offerings.

Whether you’re shopping her line to relax or “level up,” Amber reminds us to take a deep breath and prioritize self-care.
