About Handmade Habitat

STUDIO CLOSED 5/2-5/14. NO ORDERS WILL SHIP DURING THIS TIME. FOR MOTHER'S DAY ORDERS, PLEASE ORDER BY 4/23/24. Handmade Habitat is an all natural soy wax candle and beauty goods company for slow, mindful living. Our work is consciously crafted to be healthy for the body, home, and Mother Earth. Handmade Habitat was born from the desire to live more mindfully, walk more lightly, and be more active in our everyday choices. Founder Amina Ahmad started making candles in her college apartment while getting her degree in Environmental Science and Policy. After learning about the toxic effects our everyday products can have on our home, environment, and health, she started making her own eco-friendly all natural soy wax candles and beauty goods in between writing papers on how handmade is better for the environment. A business born from slow, steady growth and lots of long days at summer craft fairs, Handmade Habitat is now based out of a small sunny studio in the Brookland neighborhood of Washington, DC, and is carried in 50+ stores throughout the United States. Healthy for the body, home, and Mother Earth.Read their story
