Our Story.

Hey, I’m Natalie, the founder of Lily-Rose Candles Co. I’m so excited to share the story behind the creation of our candle-making company. We are on a journey of passion for wellness that grew from my kitchen and into something truly special.

Unmasking the Toxic Side of Candles.

Lily-Rose Candles Co. began with a simple but important realisation: many store-bought candles are filled with hidden toxins that pollute the air we breathe. As I learned more about the harmful ingredients in mass-produced candles, I knew I needed a healthier alternative—something that could fill my home with light and fragrance without compromising well-being.

A Search for Non-Toxic Luxury.

Determined to find candles that were as clean as they were beautiful, I scoured the market. But time and again, I came up short. This gap in the market inspired me to take matters into my own hands. Armed with a desire for non-toxic, aesthetically stunning candles, I began experimenting. Weeks turned into months of research and testing as I sourced the purest beeswax, paired essential oils for their therapeutic benefits, and carefully selected crystals to complement each blend.

The result was a candle that wasn’t just about fragrance—it was about creating a truly holistic experience.

Handcrafted with Heart.

For me, every candle is more than just a product—it’s a piece of positivity poured into a jar. Each one is hand-poured with care, made in small batches, and infused with uplifting energy. My goal wasn’t just to create candles for enthusiasts but to craft something that resonates with anyone seeking a moment of calm and connection.

A Fusion of Spirituality and Nature.

As someone who deeply values mindfulness and spirituality, I wanted my candles to reflect those elements. That’s why every Lily-Rose candle is topped with crystals known for their unique properties, from the calming presence of Amethyst to the energising joy of Citrine. Paired with essential oils and set in natural BP grade beeswax, these candles offer a sensory experience that connects you to the healing power of nature.

From Christmas Gifts to a Business Dream.

The very first Lily-Rose prototype candles were Christmas gifts for family and friends. I wasn’t expecting much, but their reactions were overwhelming. They loved the thoughtfulness, the uniqueness, and the care behind each candle. Their encouragement gave me the confidence to try and turn this into something bigger—and so Lily-Rose Candles Co. was born.

A Commitment to Wellness and Quality.

At Lily-Rose Candles Co., we believe in the power of handmade. Every candle we create carries our commitment to clean, sustainable living and the belief that small, mindful choices can make a big difference. Our candles are a celebration of natural ingredients, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a little bit of everyday magic.
