I would like to introduce you to Hullmark Candles and Essentials, Ruidoso Downs, NM. We are a small company that
manufactures Candles and Bath and Body Products. We do not mass produce our products, but handcraft them in small
batches to insure quality and freshness. The skin is the largest organ of the body—a delicate shield of protection covering
us from head to toe. Much of what we put on our skin is absorbed directly into the body.  For this reason, the products we
apply to our skin must be truly clean and pure, natural and organic, made from ingredients that are effective and safe.

    When all other attempts at simplifying one's life and reducing stress fail, light a candle, Eileen Hull, product
    manufacturer and owner of Hullmark Candles recommends. Better, yet, make it the first thing you do.

    "The moods and energies that candles can create are endless," Hull explains from her little shop at 593 Hwy. 70 East in
    Ruidoso Downs. "Candles supply warm light for a romantic setting, a soothing glow with which to wind down a hectic
    day, and/or a dancing flame perfect for celebrating a festive occasion. They enhance every setting."
    Although Hull has been producing her specialty line of candles and bath and body products for almost five years now,
    she has only recently made her products and her philosophy for sensual experiences. A Seneca Indian born and raised
    in Western Pennsylvania, in 2001 Hull moved into the area with her husband Carroll (Bud) taking up residency here, and
    eventually, opening a store.

    "We've operated a sandwich shop, a car wash, and a Native American Southwest ceramics store over the years but
    this is the first time we've run a candle and soap shop," Hull said. "I had been making these products and selling to
    family and friends here and there when finally it became too much for me to live with. I knew it was time for me to
    restore my house into a home and thus Hullmark Candles was born."

    In addition to selling out of her own store, Hull produces soaps and candles for businesses in Lincoln County. Among
    her popular items is a quarter horse designer gift soap that she sells through The Finish Line, a specialties gift shop
    located at the Ruidoso Downs Racetrack and Casino. Hurricane candles encased in images of the Inn of the Mountain
    Gods, too, are proving to be popular, as found in the resort hotel's gift store just off U.S. 70 West at Mescalero Lake. For
    the Lavender Spring Ranch gift shop in Arabela, Hull produces a soap made of essential lavender oil and embossed in a
    special mold exclusive to the ranch. Meanwhile, bath oils and salts, body lotions, lip balms, shower gels, and potpourri
    are available at Hullmark Candles in the Downs individually or carefully packaged in gift sets.

    Hullmark Candles abstains from using chemicals and additives in the manufacturing of its personal care products,
    preferring all natural ingredients like shea butter from Tago West Africa, Jojoba oil from the deserts of the Southwest,
    pure olive oil, camellia wax, unrefined honey, and spring water. Soap formulas are available in forms as simple or
    ornate as a consumer may want: plain or castile, glycerin or aloe vera. She also makes a soap special for gardeners
    and mechanics and utilizing ground pumice.

    "Hand made soap is good for your body and mind," Hull said. "The skin is the largest organ and it is the body's first line
    of defense against dehydration, temperature, infection and harmful substances."Unfortunately, many of the soaps
    available in stores is really detergent, or, petroleum-based products. Another common ingredient in commercial soap
    is sodium tallowate, a product made from beef fat. My soaps are a 'green alternative'."
    Eileen Hull is so confident that patrons will love her Hullmark products that she offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee on
    all lines, when returned in their original condition, box or wrapping.
    Merchants looking for new product lines to sell in their shops as well as nonprofit organizations in need of a great
    fundraising opportunity, are invited to contact Hull. Custom fundraising packages are available.
    "We also can create a personal signature fragrance for an individual, an organization, or a business customized by
    scent, design, size and quantty," Hull said.
