Our Story

When the pandemic hit, and we found ourselves at home using candles far more frequently than ever before, and we began to ask ourselves; "What's in these grocery store candles?"  What we learned did not make us happy.  Many of them contained the petroleum biproduct known as paraffin wax!

Knowing we didn't want anything like that burning in our home, we started looking into "clean" candles.  We discovered soy was a good alternative to paraffin, but when we tried to buy soy candles in stores, we found they were almost always a blend of soy and something else.  When we tried ordering online, we found we could get 100% soy candles, but they were often weak or didn't burn correctly.  They were also very expensive.

Then, in early 2021, we got a candle making kit.  Perhaps we could make our own clean candles for cheap?  Long story short, our first attempt at making candles was an absolute disaster! 

But! We knew this was something we could figure out!  So we buckled down and started learning.  During our research we came across a candle supply manufacturer that had created a line of fragrances that they held to extremely high standards of "clean".  No toxins, no parabens, no phthalates, and compliant with California's Prop 65.  We knew immediately that we needed to use their fragrances in our candles. 

We began testing our candle-making skills to discover the best way to make a beautiful, clean candle, that would burn and throw scent well.  When we finally got it right, we knew we had something special that we needed to share.  We remembered how expensive other soy candles were and we committed to making sure our candles remained affordable so that everyone can have clean burning candles in their home!  

After several years in New Hampshire, we recently relocated to Vermont, where we continue the tradition of creating beautiful hand crafted candles!
