About Black Dog Candles

Black Dog Candles, est. in 2006, is located in Louisville Kentucky and we hand pour all of our candles individually, providing a premium quality product at an affordable price while helping to boost the local economy. Our candles contain 3 elements: - 100% soy wax manufactured here in KY - A cotton core wick constructed entirely of natural fibers and is lead free. - Premium fragrance oils manufactured here in the U.S., are not tested on animals, and have certificates of compliance from IFRA (International Fragrance Association) and RIFM (Research Institute for Fragrance Materials). At Black Dog Candles we are animal lovers and donate a percentage of all of our proceeds to various animal shelters, including, but not limited to The Animal Care Society, KY Humane Society, Kentucky Animal Relief Fund, and LMAS here in Louisville, Kentucky. The owner, Kristen David, began the business as a fundraiser for a local no kill animal shelter back in 2006. Her 3 black dogs are the silhouettes on the brand labels. She has continued the mission of giving back as the brand has grown through the years. Read their story
