Near & Native was born out of a personal need to find a lightly scented, clean burning, simple and sustainable candle.

We were so over the harsh chemicals and overwhelming scents found in most candle brands... so we got to work creating a better one.

Ready to find your next candle crush?

I'm a Maine based designer who founded Near & Native after a decade-long career as a buyer for national retail brands.

Today, I work alongside an all-female team to create candles for homes and retailers across the country.

Come take a look at what we've been up to lately.

Near & Native is striving to close the loop on the lifecycle of the candle and extend the life of beautiful vessels.

We offer a proprietary candle refill service to refill ANY empty candle, pottery, or unique container for much less than buying a new candle.

So, basically we're saving the world one candle at a time.

We totally get it - your brand is your baby, but trust that our custom candle process has been perfected over many years and countless successful projects.

Custom candles are crafted with a proprietary blend of coconut soy wax, premium fragrances and top shelf materials to help your brand shine. We even offer total design services from vessel selection to label design.

Let's create something your customers will crave.
