Our Story

Made by Hand. Made with Heart.

Hi, I'm Christina — the maker, dreamer, and candle lover behind CJ Candle Co. What started as a passion project in my Wisconsin kitchen in 2010 has grown into something I'm incredibly proud of: a small-batch candle brand built on craft, care, and community.

Why Soy? Why Hand-Poured?

Every CJ Candle Co. candle is hand-poured using 100% natural soy wax — a clean-burning, renewable alternative to paraffin. Soy burns cooler and slower, giving you a longer-lasting candle with a beautifully even scent throw. No harsh chemicals, no unnecessary additives. Just pure, honest wax and fragrance.

Because each candle is poured by hand in small batches, I can give every single one the attention it deserves. That personal touch isn't just a selling point — it's the whole point.

Rooted in Wisconsin

Wisconsin isn't just where I live — it's where CJ Candle Co. lives and breathes. You'll often find us at local markets and events across the state, where I get to meet the people who bring our candles into their homes. Those connections are everything to me.

Scents for Every Season & Every Moment

From warm, woodsy fall blends to fresh florals for spring, our collection is designed to match the rhythm of the seasons — and the moments in between. Whether you're unwinding after a long day, setting the mood for a gathering, or searching for a heartfelt gift, there's a CJ scent for that.

Each fragrance is thoughtfully chosen and tested to make sure it fills your space beautifully — not overwhelming, just right.

Thank You for Being Here

Whether you found us at a Wisconsin event or stumbled upon us online, I'm so glad you're here. Every candle you choose supports a small, woman-made business — and that means the world to me.

With love & light,
Christina
Founder, CJ Candle Co.
