Founded in 2003, Laguna Candles was born from a simple, yet powerful idea - to inspire people to rest into small moments of presence, and truly feel the beauty that dwells within them.
Our philosophy
LIVING WITH INTENTION
Our candles are designed to be an anchor. A reminder of softness. A call back to peace. Everyday we are presented with an array of choices, which direction we go is in our own hands.
Living with intention means dedicating time for our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. It means surrounding ourselves with small reminders of peace - a flower, a piece of art, a beautiful scent, as to not get swept away by the everyday stresses of the mind.
Our outer space affects our inner space. With intentional reminders placed around us, we become aware of the present moment, resting into being as our mind softens for a while. True self care starts right now, with intentional living.
Our founder
MEET SHARIE
Ever since I was a child, I had a love of beautiful scents. My grandmother used to adorn herself with Coco Chanel and I would be mesmerized by the fragrances that filled her room. She was a strongly influencial woman in my life.
Throughout the years, I continued to find joy and peace through the world of fragrance. Candles become my happy place. With the lighting of one, I could transport to another place or time. I could transform a space bring softness to the senses in an instant. I knew I wanted to share this experience with the world, but in a way that felt different. At the time, I couldn’t find any candles that offered a truly clean burn, and I knew we could do better. I was also deeply inspired by the natural beauty of the Laguna coast and wanted to encapsulate that essence in a clean, sustainable candle.
From our first days hand-pouring candles in the family kitchen to today, we have continued to refine the craft of candle making. Each of our candles is made with the utmost care and precision for a pure, gentle and sensory experience in the home.
Our Commitments
Candle Purity
Our candles are completely free from parafin wax, parabens, petroleum, pesticides, sulphates and lead. Our wicks are made from 100% unbleached cotton. All our fragrances are phthalate free and are made from delicately crafted blends of naturally derived essential oils for a truly clean burning experience.
Sustainability
Nature will always be our inspiration and it’s deeply important to us that we exist in harmony with it. Over 35 million candle containers end up in landfills every year. We wanted ours to last, therefore offer an accessible option for you to refill your Heirloom candle vessels with us. All of our candles are also certified vegan, cruelty free and made from soy and coconut wax.
Packaging
We’re committed to doing more with less. Our packaging is thoughtfully designed to minimize waste and maximize sustainability. Each candle box is made from recycled and recyclable materials, printed with non-toxic inks, and precisely sized to reduce excess.
