Born from a Love of Craft

Ember Candle Co began in a small Portland apartment in 2021, where our founder Sarah discovered the meditative art of candle making during a challenging time. What started as a personal hobby to create peaceful moments quickly became a passion for sharing that sense of calm and warmth with others.

We believe that lighting a candle is more than illumination—it's a ritual, a pause, a moment to breathe and be present. Every candle we create is hand-poured in small batches with this intention in mind.

Our commitment to clean, sustainable ingredients means you can enjoy our candles knowing they're safe for your family and kind to the environment.
