About
Meet the Owners
Hi! Our names are Ben Earnest and Brent Walker - the Founders of Shady Lake Candle Company - a small business located in Mississippi, specializing in eco-friendly clean burning soy candles. At first, the creativity that Shady Lake Candle Company gave us became an outlet for our mundane 9-5 jobs that we held. Candle making gave us a passion that we had not felt in a long time! As we researched more and started developing our candles, we realized a couple of things:
- There are a lot of harmful in the fragrance industry
- No one was talking about the harmful side of fragrance.
So it became our mission to create beautiful, high quality scented candles that are safe for all of our customers to enjoy. This is why we always use 100% American made soy wax, phthalate-free fragrance, and natural cotton wicks in our Mississippi made candles.
It has become our honor to educate our customers and produce safer options for them to enjoy within their home, and gift to their loved ones. Shady Lake Candle Company is what it is today because of our customers, their support, and the amazing team that we get the joy of working with each day!
Our Process
At Shady Lake Candle Company, it is our mission to produce beautiful, high quality candles that are safe for all of our customers to enjoy. Loving hands curate the candles you enjoy every step of the way. From day one we have used a traditional method for candle making and have chosen to hand-pour each candle in small, four pound batches, to ensure the quality and consistency is the same from batch to batch. We have chosen to use the highest quality of ingredients without compromise, and design our products with your home and space in mind.
