It all started when I got pregnant. I wanted to have an all natural home birth, so I hired two midwives. My midwives said in order to have the most successful home birth possible, they needed to make sure my home environment was safe and clean. The first thing they came across was my plethora of candles, cleaning supplies, deodorant, lotions and wall plug-ins, among many other toxic products I was using daily. They told me I needed to evaluate the products I was using and switch to non-toxic products. At first, I was devastated. How dare they take away my beautifully packaged, good smelling candles!? It took some time to detox from all of the perfumes and toxic fragrances for me to realize this was a giant blessing! I started using essential oil diffusers but it just wasn’t the same. I missed that candle flame that made me feel super cozy.
So, I made my own!! I researched all about candles, looked up many different ingredients, and started experimenting. At first, it was just a hobby. I made my family and friends candles for the holidays and then quickly noticed how many people really appreciate a good, clean, non-toxic candle! As the word of mouth referrals started pouring in, I decided to focus all of my energy on making the Centrella Candles LLC business the best it can be! I am constantly working on new products, more scents, different candle vessels, everything that will make the customers happy!
I pride myself on using American made ingredients, 100% soy wax, cotton wick, non-toxic phthalate-free fragrance, and reusable jars. My labels are printed on 100% recycled material. I accept custom orders for businesses, weddings, events, etc.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me along my journey!
