Hi, I'm Diana.
I run Diana's Candles & Soaps from Waterbury, Connecticut, where I'm raising three wonderful kids. When I'm not running after them, I'm making candles, soaps, and body care for our home and yours.
Why I started with candles
I've always loved candles and burn them all year. After my third child was born, she started having respiratory issues at nine months old. My husband has dealt with asthma for years too. After lots of research and doctor visits, I realized the store-bought candles in our home were part of the problem.
I looked into wax melts, but they carried toxic chemicals as well. Then I found soy wax candles. The prices were hard for a mom of three on a budget, so I learned how they're made and began making my own. The scents were lovely, and they didn't bother my daughter or my husband. Family and friends started asking for candles, and before I knew it I was making batch after batch.
Soaps and body care, made the same way
Skin issues run in our house too, so I read every label. I didn't want store-bought products full of fillers and ingredients I couldn't pronounce, so I started making soaps and body care with simple ingredients that help, not harm.
Our promise
Our candles are phthalate-free, and everything we make is tested on my own family first. I keep prices fair, because everyone deserves good quality products at a reasonable cost.
Thank you for visiting. I hope your family loves these as much as mine does, and please check back for new additions.
