10 Black-Owned Candle Brands That You'll Absolutely Love
I’m literally giddy right now because I’m so excited to write this.
I absolutely love candles and have always enjoyed the luxury of lighting scents to set the mood to whatever I’m feeling: cozy… peaceful… serene… you name it!
But ever since I found out that my beloved candles were actually releasing toxins into the air, I reluctantly tucked them away and have been on the hunt for some non-toxic options.
I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to support my fellow Black business owners, and find some great non-toxic candles so my home can once again smell amazing again.
(Because chile, it’s a struggle to not just light up a BBW candle out of convenience).
Most of the candles I selected are non-toxic, made from coconut and soy wax, and have an amazing ambiance that will have your home feeling both serene and peaceful!
It gives me peace of mind to know that the scents in my home are no longer harming my body, especially when I’m lighting candles that are made with love, care, and black girl magic.
Let’s get started!
