About Us
Welcome to Light & Calm Candles!
At Light & Calm Candles, we believe that the right blend of fragrances can do more than just scent a room – it can uplift your spirit, calm your mind, and promote mental well-being. Our journey began with a deep commitment to crafting candles that not only smell amazing but also contribute positively to your mental health.
Finding Calm Through Handcrafted Aromatherapy Candles
Our story is deeply personal and rooted in our own experiences with mental health challenges within our family. This journey began with a desire to bring peace and tranquility into people's lives through the power of scent. We have spent countless hours researching and experimenting with various oils and fragrances, identifying the perfect combinations that enhance mental health. Our blends draw inspiration from both culturally rich and mainstream sources, ensuring a unique and balanced fragrance experience.
Our Commitment
We understand that mental health is a crucial, yet often overlooked, aspect of well-being. Our candles are designed to support your mental health journey. Each blend is carefully crafted to achieve the perfect balance – not too overpowering, not too faint – to create a soothing and therapeutic atmosphere. Candle names like Calm & Grounded, Stress Relief, and Mood Boosting reflect their intended effects, providing you with a holistic aromatherapy experience.
Our Heritage
While we honor our Black heritage and the rich cultural traditions that inspire our fragrance choices, we design our candles for everyone to enjoy. Our blends include oils with deep cultural significance, such as Frankincense, Myrrh, and Sandalwood, seamlessly combined with universally beloved fragrances like Lavender, Chamomile, and Orange. This ensures our candles are inclusive and resonate with a wide audience.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple – to create high-quality, handcrafted candles that positively impact your mental health. We believe in the power of scent to transform spaces and elevate moods. Each candle we produce meets the highest standards of quality and consistency, crafted with love and a deep understanding of the importance of mental well-being.
