Our Beginning

A WOMAN'S SUCCESS IS HER KIN'S SUCCESS

Kin & Care began with a chance encounter. Then a casual conversation between two immigrant women. Pleasantries were exchanged, stories were told, and the conversation slowly grew into something a little less casual and a lot more personal... expressing empathy for the challenges immigrant women experience as they try to find opportunities and kinship in their new home. And the commonality of those challenges, regardless of the many different ways immigrants arrive. Out of chance came a vision: To create a company with products made by immigrant women in the Washington, DC area thereby empowering these women to build a place of their own for themselves and for their families. But what kind of products? Candles! Hand poured, small batch, wonderfully fragrant candles to be exact. Made at home to provide security and accommodate flexible schedules. And scalable so that opportunities for refugee women grow as the brand evolves.

Hand Poured, Small Batch

IT'S WHAT WE DO

At Kin & Care, our candles are mixed and hand-poured by refugee women. We use old-world techniques and the highest quality ingredients to create small batches of modern scents. Our candles help brighten your home and bring your family together, while creating a better future for others.

COMING TOGETHER TO BRIGHTEN TOMORROW

For so many cultures, candles play a vital role in some of our oldest traditions. Their light brings families together during holidays and special occasions, and their warmth creates a sense of home.
