Launched
2018
Living with autoimmune conditions, our founder would often light candles as a way to decompress. Disappointed in ingredients found in most candles, she formulated her own non-toxic candles as a way to find confidence and peace.
The company began testing and formulating a variety of ingredients in our Hudson Valley home studio.
"Pouring candles became a way for me to communicate...thoughtfully pouring my experiences, memories and encouragement into each vessel - and in turn replenishing my soul."
