About Candle Nerds

The genesis of Candle Nerds stems from a deeply personal journey fraught with the challenges of living with myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disease. Struggling with the side effects of medications, particularly frequent headaches, I found everyday tasks like lighting candles to be daunting. Driven by the desire to find a solution not just for myself but for others facing similar challenges, I embarked on a mission to create candles that would offer a clean, soothing scent without exacerbating health issues. Extensive research led me to discover the potential of soy wax, renowned for its eco-friendly nature and superior performance in candle-making. As I delved deeper into the world of waxes and scents, my passion for crafting candles grew, earning me the endearing nickname "candle nerd" from my family. This playful moniker not only encapsulated my dedication to the craft but also served as the inspiration behind the birth of Candle Nerds. At its core, Candle Nerds embodies my commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the pursuit of solutions that enhance the well-being of others. Through our products, we aim to illuminate spaces with more than just light, but with the warmth of a clean, comforting aroma, enriching the lives of our customers one candle at a time.Read their story
