Each candle is thoughtfully crafted by hand to create a comforting space and a gentle reminder to slow down and appreciate what matters most.

Questions & Answers
Every Olive & Light candle is made with 100% natural soy wax — a clean-burning, plant-based alternative to paraffin. It burns slower and cooler, so you get more hours of gentle scent and less soot.
Our standard jars are designed to burn for approximately 50–60 hours. To maximize burn time, always let the wax melt across the entire surface on the first light, and trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each use.
Yes. We use high-quality, phthalate-free fragrance oils and 100% soy wax with lead-free cotton wicks. That said, we always recommend burning any candle on a stable surface, away from drafts, children, and curious pets.
Each scent is inspired by a woman or man who shaped history in their own way. It is our quiet nod to the people who lit the way — and a reminder that small, intentional acts can leave a lasting glow.
We do. If you are a boutique, gift shop, or event planner interested in carrying Olive & Light, or if you would like a custom scent for a wedding or special occasion, please reach out through Etsy or email us directly. We would love to collaborate.
