Description

Welcome to Rivers and Roads! Our small family business strives create pure, sustainable, hand-poured, small-batch, artisan candles and home goods. We began this journey on the heels of a relentless search for a pure, organic beeswax candle with a cotton wick – at an affordable price! Last year, we decided we wanted to try our hand at creating an organic, carefully sourced candle we could trust – with full transparency into our process! After many trials (beeswax is tricky!) we finally have a product we (and the bees!) can be proud of and we think you will LOVE it!

We craft our handmade candles in our home studio with our kids in-tow! We melt small batches of our USA-sourced organic beeswax into a thick syrup-like consistency. Then we slowly pour our beeswax into our hand-wicked and molds. * Please note, we DO NOT use silicone spray or any kind of mold-release chemical (this is common component used with many pillar candles.* We believe every ingredient must be safe and indeed healthy to make it into our product – into your home. Our products are, simply put, healthy for you, the environment, and the future.

Our artisan candles are hand-poured in small batches. They vary ever so slightly in color, height, and texture. This can be contributed to the variations in expansion and shrinkage of the wax, what the bees are feasting on at the time of harvest, and simply the nature of a handmade product. We love the variations we see in our candles as the represent honest, hard work, done by hand. We hope you love our candles as much as we do! We find they are a perfect gift for self care, Mother’s Day, birthdays, Christmas, Diwali, Yule, altars, loss, and any celebration! We love to fill the fireplace with them and enjoy their warm golden glow and sweet natural aroma. These are also SLOW burn candles making them perfect for emergency candles!
