My Story

How It Started

Hello, my name is Cindy!

Making candles started as a joyful hobby and stress reliever. I needed a creative outlet, and candle making provided me with hours and hours of fun. I particularly enjoyed experimenting with different scents. After extensive experimenting and testing, I decided to start Candle Studio 1422.

Why 1422?

1422 was the street address for my paternal grandparents growing up. Their home represented a loving and welcoming place for me. When I think back to my childhood, 1422 is where my happiest memories were made. I knew I had to incorporate this number in my business name. It is a source of INSPIRATION and happiness. 

What’s In My Candles

My candles are made with soy wax, and premium fragrance oils. That’s it! I never add any colors, dyes or other additives. 

During the early stages, I did a lot of research on the types of candle wax and candle additives. I decided to use soy wax as a more environmentally friendly and cleaner option than the petroleum-based paraffin candles that make up most of the candle market.

I also opted to use premium fragrance oils specifically made for candles. Many of these fragrance oils are infused with essential oils. Using fragrance oils specifically designed for candles makes for a more safe candle. 

My Process

My candles are always hand-poured in small batches, which helps ensure attention to detail and the highest quality candles. Candles are then cured. Curing candles helps create a better aromatic experience. The curing maximizes the candle’s scent.

Where Candle Studio 1422 is Today

As Candle Studio 1422 has grown, so has our mission. Today, the focus is on more than just selling candles—it's about creating experiences and community. From the Concrete Candle Club that delivers unique, small-batch creations to your doorstep, to DIY candle kits that let you pour your own magic at home, we make it easy for everyone to enjoy the art of candle making.

I am also proud to offer fundraising opportunities that help schools, organizations, and causes raise money through something everyone loves—candles. It’s just another way to bring light into people’s lives.
