My name is Nancy, and I'm the founder of SLO Candle Studio. The idea for the company came about when I set my sights on retirement. I was dreaming not only of a break from the 9-to-5 grind, but for the freedom to explore what truly sparks my soul. The question that always lingered in my mind was, what will I do when I finally have time to follow my passion?

 

In 2023, I found my answer. I started researching and testing candle-making, and what began as a creative project quickly turned into something much more meaningful. 

​

Our cruelty free candles are made with clean all-natural coconut apricot wax, toxin-free ingredients - no parabens or phthalates. Safety is always our top priority, ensuring each product is something you can feel good about bringing into your home.

​

I believe candles should do more than provide light and a refreshing scent - they should enhance your living space. With an emphasis on clean, elegant design, our candles are crafted to blend seamlessly into any home, elevating its ambiance without overpowering it.

​

This journey has been about more than making candles, it’s been about crafting a new chapter in my life - one filled with creativity, purpose, and a whole lot of heart. Thank you for being part of this story. May these candles bring a little extra light into your world, just as making them has brightened mine.
