Our Candlelight Story

At Luminary, we believe a candle is more than wax and wick — it's an experience, a memory, a moment of peace in a busy world. Founded in 2018 in a small kitchen in Vermont, our passion for natural living and beautiful design led us to create candles that are as pure as they are luxurious.

Every candle is hand-poured in small batches using 100% natural soy wax, lead-free cotton wicks, and premium fragrance oils infused with essential oils. We carefully source our ingredients from sustainable suppliers and package everything in recyclable, eco-friendly materials.

Our name, Luminary, reflects our mission: to bring light and warmth into every home. Whether you're looking for the perfect gift or a moment of self-care, we invite you to explore our collection and find the scent that speaks to you.

Why Choose Luminary

We pour our hearts into every candle — here's what sets us apart.

🌱

100% Natural Soy Wax

Our candles are made from premium natural soy wax, grown in the USA. Soy wax burns cleaner, longer, and produces zero soot — better for you and the planet.

🕯️

Hand-Poured in Small Batches

Every candle is hand-poured by our artisans in batches of no more than 48. This ensures consistent quality, attention to detail, and a personal touch in every jar.

🌍

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

We use recyclable glass jars, biodegradable packing peanuts, and FSC-certified shipping boxes. Our wicks are made from natural cotton with no zinc or lead.

🌸

Essential Oil Infusions

Our fragrances are blended with therapeutic-grade essential oils. No phthalates, no synthetic dyes — just pure, natural aromatherapy for your home.

⏱️

40+ Hour Burn Time

Each 8oz candle provides 40–50 hours of long-lasting fragrance. Our double-wick design ensures an even melt pool and maximizes your candle's life.

Beautiful Gift-Ready Packaging

Every candle arrives in a elegant kraft box with a handwritten note option. Perfect for gifting — because giving warmth is the greatest gift of all.
