Crass Candle Co.

I'm Tristen, a real human woman from the southwestern United States who loves making candles. My journey began when I got tired of the headaches caused by the candles I was buying from certain popular stores (you know the ones). After some research, I discovered the culprit was paraffin wax—EW! Determined to find a better alternative, I set out to recreate a lovely candle that was orange blossom scented, native to the sunbelt states, but using soy wax instead. This little experiment quickly blossomed into a passion, and before I knew it, my friends and family were asking if I’d ever sell my creations. That’s how my small hobby grew into a full-fledged business! Still so very weird to me that I'm a business owner.

I've been making candles for nearly five years now, working full-time as an Executive Assistant by day and crafting candles in the evenings and on weekends. I truly appreciate you taking the time to learn about me and my little business. Thank you for supporting my tiny company and other small businesses around the world! 💛
