Hello and welcome to Allison Martin Studios! Thanks for stopping by my shop today!
Becoming a candlemaker happened by accident. My love for scented candles was put on hold for years due to sensitivities to synthetic fragrances. However, a conversation with a friend sparked my interest in beeswax and its air purifying qualities.
With a stash of a few empty jars, I ventured into candle making, driven by a desire to create something I could enjoy without triggering allergies or headaches.
Researching responsibly sourced and natural ingredients, I found myself excited about being able to enjoy scented candles again. In the midst of all this, I was feeling burnt out from my corporate job, so I decided to fully embrace a long-unrealized dream of starting my own business. After months of testing, I found a way to make candles I could enjoy and knew there had to be others who share my struggles.
In lighting one of my candles, I want to promote a cozy reminder for us to take moments to slow down and be present in our lives. I aim to offer a sense of comfort with each candle, ensuring they are crafted with materials and ingredients that are non-toxic, and align with my values of sustainability and responsible sourcing. For me, it's about more than just creating a beautiful product; it's about remembering that people matter and this planet matters.
All candles are hand poured and made in small batches by me in my apartment in Portland, Oregon. Every single detail is important. From what does into making the candle, to the labels, to the packing materials. Materials are responsibly sourced and environmentally friendly (see individual listings for details).
I hope you love them as much as I do!
Allison
