Blessed Soap and Candle Company: Our Story

 

Our candles were born from a simple belief:

what you bring into your home should be clean, intentional, and made with care—without costing an arm and a leg.

For 15 years, I worked as a pastry chef, pouring my heart into food as both craft and comfort. It was my passion, but over time I felt called to create something different—something that could quietly improve people’s daily lives. I wanted to make a product people could feel good about using in their homes every single day.

That’s how our candles came to life.

We make clean-burning soy wax candles, using pure soy with no petroleum additives, no fillers, and no unnecessary garbage. Our wicks are made from cotton and paper, and are completely zinc- and lead-free. Every ingredient is chosen with intention—because non-toxic shouldn’t mean inaccessible.

Many “all-natural” candles come with luxury price tags. I believed there was a better way.

I bring the same precision, patience, and sensory focus from my pastry training into every candle I make—fine-tuning scent balance, burn quality, and overall experience until it feels just right. From fragrance development to final pour, every detail matters.

To me, this isn’t just about candles. It’s about trust.

I’m deeply grateful for every customer who invites our products into their homes and personal spaces. Being able to share my craft—my gift—with others is something I don’t take lightly.

Whether you’re lighting a candle to unwind, to set the mood, or simply to make your space feel like home, I invite you to experience what we create. And if you’re nearby, come say hello—I love meeting our community in person at the farmers market.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you for choosing clean.

And thank you for supporting small, intentional craftsmanship.
