Natural Candles

I started making candles back in 2012 when I had a bunch of failed ceramics projects + a low budget for Christmas gifts. After that first messy batch of wonky ceramic candles, I started making and selling candles made from soy wax and essential oils.

You might be wondering why I chose essential oils when fragrance oils are much cheaper and you can create more mainstream scent blends. Well, fragrance is sketchy and often toxic. Like did you know that some musks come from a beaver’s anal glands? And companies don’t have to tell you that the scent you love so much comes from a beaver’s butt. So there’s that…and if you start to pay attention, many of the fragrances used in cleaners and candles smell oddly chemical and can give sensitive people headaches. I like to know where I am getting my scent from. That’s pretty much it. I buy high quality essential oils and create blends that make me happy. If they make you happy too, you should buy them.
