About Handmade By Ali

Hi, I'm Ali. As a devoted mama to two amazing little boys, I understand many of the barriers that prevent too many of us from taking time to nourish our mind & bodies. My goal is to create intentional products that are focused on making self-care sustainable, simple, effective & affordable. Having my children & being diagnosed with an auto-immune disease took my cautiousness regarding toxins in my home to a new level & initially had me terrified of burning candles in my own home. However, lighting a lovely candle as I studied or cuddled up under a cozy blanket was an experience I found myself craving. So I decided it was time to make my own candles in which I was completely confident in the ingredients. I chose to use 100% pure soy wax, wicks made of exclusive natural materials & fragrances that were free of phthalates and parabens. Bringing back the cozy comfort of candles by only using safe ingredients knowing I am making a safe decision for myself and my boys. Everything you see in my store, is made by hand, here in Alberta. I believe in creating the smallest environmental footprint possible, and therefore ensure that all of my packaging is not only recyclable, but comfortably reusable or compostable.Read their story
