About Gabriel John Candles

Gabriel John Candles is a boutique candle company that started as a conversation one summer evening in 2009, after a little challenge from my husband and sisters questioning my creative ability…… After much experimenting, studying, and dedication, I poured my first candles in my home kitchen in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago, IL. Thus, my company was born, and of course, a point was proven. The goal I had was to create candle lines that were both simple and luxurious while capturing the Artisan touch. It was important to me that if I wanted to find my niche in this market, I needed to add a piece of my personality…..giving each candle its personal touch. As a candle connoisseur with a background in the health care industry, I stated my company with the desire to create candles that aren’t only beautiful, but free of unnecessary and potentially harmful additives. I call them "naked" because the containers are left unlabeled of any logos making easy to incorporate with any home design style or aesthetic. I'm so confident of our quality, I don't feel the need to place a logo on the containers themselves as its been proven our customers will look on the bottom to know its a Gabriel John Candle! Each candle is hand-crafted from start to finish by 'Stay-at-Home" Mom's in the artisanal tradition using only select quality ingredients that are both kind to the environment and kind to our health.
