Wild Wax Candle Company was founded in 2020 from a love of fragrance, creativity, and the natural world. What began with a candle making workshop and a simple curiosity for clean products soon grew into something more meaningful. Early handmade candles made for friends and family revealed how scent can create calm, connection, and comfort in everyday life.
At the heart of Wild Wax is a lifelong connection to nature. Sara, an artist and candle maker, has always been drawn to the natural world, from childhood afternoons watching nature documentaries with her father to her time working as a student zookeeper at the Trevor-Lovejoy Zoo in New York. These experiences continue to shape her approach to creating, with a focus on care, intention, and respect for the natural world.
Now based in Colorado, Sara lives with her husband Dan and their cat Cricket. Life outside the studio is spent in the outdoors, skiing, hiking, gardening, photography, and camping, all of which continue to influence the spirit of the brand.
Wild Wax exists as a thoughtful space where creativity and nature come together. Each candle is created with intention, designed to bring warmth, calm, and meaning into everyday rituals.
In loving memory of a cherished childhood friend, this work also carries a personal thread that remains part of its foundation.
