Introducing our Icon Collection, where candles transcend mere illumination to become vessels of inspiration and celebration. Designed to make waves and ignite conversation, this collection is a tribute to the indomitable spirit of iconic women throughout history. But what makes these candles truly special is not just its captivating scent of bergamot rose but also their journey from inspiration to creation.
In a stroke of creative synergy, we teamed up with the talented local artist, Violet Red Studios, right here in the DMV area. Her evocative portraits of iconic women served as the muse for our collection, infusing each candle with a sense of empowerment and reverence. From trailblazers to visionaries, these women have left an indelible mark on the world, and now, their legacy lives on in every flicker of our candles.
But the magic doesn't stop there. Our Icon Collection is more than just a nod to the past; it's a celebration of the present and a beacon of hope for the future. Each candle is hand-poured with love and care in Maryland by refugee women, whose craftsmanship and resilience shine through in every detail. With each purchase, you're not just acquiring a candle; you're supporting a community and empowering women to thrive.
And let's talk about the scent, shall we? bergamot rose with its delicate floral notes and aroma, serves as the perfect accompaniment to our tribute to iconic women. It's a scent that evokes strength, femininity, and timeless elegance, inviting you to bask in its alluring embrace and find inspiration in its fragrance.
But perhaps the most meaningful aspect of our Icon Collection is its potential to inspire others. Whether you're gifting it to a friend, a family member, or even yourself, these candles serve as a reminder of the power of women's achievements and the importance of commemorating their contributions. It's a gift that goes beyond the material realm, sparking conversations and igniting passions wherever it goes.

Join us in celebrating their achievements and lighting the way for generations to come.
WHY SOY WAX?
Natural and Renewable: Soy wax is derived from soybean oil, making it a renewable resource. It's also biodegradable, meaning it's better for the environment compared to paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum.
Cleaner Burning: Soy wax burns cleaner than paraffin wax, producing fewer toxins and pollutants like soot. This cleaner burn contributes to better indoor air quality and reduces the risk of respiratory issues.
Longer Burn Time: Soy wax candles typically have a longer burn time compared to paraffin candles of the same size. This means you can enjoy your soy wax candle for a longer period before needing to replace it.
Better Scent Throw: Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax, allowing it to release fragrances more effectively. This results in a stronger and more consistent scent throw, filling your space with delightful aromas.
Easy Cleanup: Spills and drips from soy wax candles are easy to clean up with soap and water, unlike paraffin wax which can be more difficult to remove from surfaces.
Support for Farmers: Soybean farming supports local farmers and agricultural communities. By choosing soy wax candles, you're contributing to sustainable agriculture and supporting farmers who grow soybeans.
Kin & Care
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.
