Our Story
Hi, I'm Renee!
Owner and Maker of Aspen Creek Candle Co!
I love creating beautifully handcrafted artisan products. I have also had a lifelong love of candles. They've been a staple in my home, well...forever! But the joy of burning a candle would eventually turn into not so enjoyable headaches whenever I'd light up a store-bought candle. And it wasn't just me. I was finding it was happening to others as well.
So what did I do? I set out on a mission to create candles that would be non toxic and cleaner burning, so everyone could enjoy them. And that's how Aspen Creek Candle Co was started.
As a health coach and mom, it was not just about avoiding headaches. It was about contributing to healthy living by creating a cleaner burning candle everyone can enjoy, without consequences to our health and the environment. Therefore, I made it my mission to ensure that my candles and wax melts are free of the usual toxic ingredients found in many big box store candles out there.
Our candles and wax melts are all hand poured in small batches here in beautiful Montana, using 100% American grown soy wax, cotton wicks that are lead and zinc free, and clean burning, high quality fragrance oils. All providing you with headache free, healthier candles for your sacred spaces.
For me, candle making isn't just a business. It is also an exciting, creative journey. There is something incredibly fulfilling about the process, especially when I'm searching for new, unique scents that you will surely love!
So, welcome to my cozy little corner of scented bliss. I am very excited to have all of you here. Feel free to take a peek around, find your signature scent, and join me in making every day a little more relaxing and enjoyable.
Ingredients That Matter
Every Candle is Made With Cleaner Ingredients and You in Mind
THE WAX
It was important for us to use a Natural Wax that was non-toxic, ecofriendly, gluten free and cruelty free.
Our candles and wax melts are made with 100% American Grown Soy Wax, as it is cleaner burning, renewable, sustainable, and leaves limited Carbon Impact.
THE FRAGRANCES
It was also important that we use fragrance oils that are safe, non-toxic, and clean. We use only high quality fragrance oils that are FREE of phthalates, parabens, and other harmful chemicals. Which means a healthier, headache free experience.
THE WICKS
We only use wood wicks, and cotton wicks that are free of zinc and lead, which airborne can also pose a risk to our health.
QUALITY
We have done months of research and testing to provide you with not only quality, cleaner burning candles, but with fragrance blends that will enhance the ambience of your space, and release just enough fragrance to add cozy vibes, without overpowering it.
Beyond The Candle
Making Our Candle Business More Sustainable
At Aspen Creek Candle Co we are always committed to a great candle lighting experience, but also to sustainability and to the environment. We only get one planet, so keep reading to learn how we're working to make our candle company more sustainable!
Sustainable Packaging
Packaging is a great way to show off your brand identity, however, it's easy to go overboard and start becoming wasteful! Here's how we're being sustainable with our packaging.
Candle Vessels
All our vessels are chosen with life after the candle in mind. With the quality glass to the reusable tins. They are easy to clean and repurpose when you are done enjoying your candle. If you don't want to keep it, now worries, all you have to do is recycle it! It's that simple!
Our Packaging
All of our boxes, thank you & care cards, and tape are recyclable! Our packing peanuts are water-soluble, which makes them sustainable as well. They're made out of corn starch, so all you have to do is run them under water and they dissolve! This makes them a way more sustainable option than regular packing peanuts!
Eco-friendly & sustainable waxes
We use soy wax in all of our candles, which is a renewable resource and biodegradable. Soy wax is also sustainable because it does not require the use of any solvents or other chemicals to produce it.
Carbon Neutral Shipping
We've partnered with Planet to help keep the shipping process cleaner for the environment. For every order we ship, our partners charge us a small fee to remove the atmospheric carbon produced by transportation used to ship your order, and store it for 10-1000+ years!
