~ Bittersweet Candle Co is a small, handmade candle company nestled in the woods of upstate New York. Our wild surroundings provide endless inspiration from nature, seen especially in the distinctive, detailed, mini work of art candle labels we design for each scent. We also forage for leaves and flowers on and near our property to use in our pressed flower luminaries.

~ Our candles represent what we find to be peaceful and nourishing for the soul: nature, plants, flowers, art, coffee, books, and music. We create rustic, elegant artisan home fragrance designs for candle lovers like you who value celebrating and uniting the serene beauty of nature with clean, non-toxic ingredients.

~ We hand pour small batch soy wax candles in glass and handmade concrete vessels, and use lead free, paper cored cotton wicks. Complementing the nature inspired appearance of our candles are the non-toxic, sustainable ingredients we use to create them.

~ We use pure, plant based, renewable soy wax made from U.S. grown soybeans, and scent our candles using essential oils and fine fragrance oils free from phthalates, hormone disruptors, carcinogens, and neurotoxins often found in common commercial candles.

~ We know you love candles like we do. The warm, cozy feeling, the flickering glow, the comforting and delightful fragrances. Make the choice for your health to burn a better candle. The commercial candles with toxic chemicals may be inexpensive, but at what cost??

Burn clean. Burn beautiful.
