About
Growing up in the Caribbean, I made my fondest memories in my grandparents' backyard barn. There, we hand-poured candles for local churches and shops in our community. Evenings moved slowly and peacefully—crickets hummed quietly while candlelight flickered in the dim barn as we waited for the wax to cool. My grandmother made ginger tea or hot chocolate to keep us warm. Sometimes the night stretched into a bonfire under the stars, where my siblings and I sat at our grandparents' feet, listening to stories about the old days.
Candle-making wasn't just a craft—it was a ritual of care and connection. I learned that a well-made candle creates more than scent—it creates feeling. That sense of calm, the comfort of a familiar fragrance, the way flickering light transforms a space into home.
Years later, I wanted to share that feeling with others—but in a way that matched my values. That's why I started Zyndl. I hand-pour every candle in small batches using coconut-apricot wax and clean, non-toxic scents—the kind I would feel safe burning around my grandmother's barn or near our family's pets. The rugged, rustic tins reflect those simple childhood nights, while the woodsy, spicy, and grounding scents draw inspiration from the natural elements that surrounded us.
When you light a Zyndl candle, you invite warmth, nostalgia, and a quiet sense of belonging into your space. From my hands to your home—welcome to the story of Zyndl.
Our Craft Today
Today, my daughter Estella and I lovingly create unique gypsum and cement jars in our cozy North Carolina home. We also handcraft candles right on our kitchen table in small batches. Our process blends tradition with creativity—I learned candle-making from my grandparents, who were traditional candlers using age-old techniques like hand-dipping and crafting with beeswax.
They taught me how to blend natural waxes with botanical scents, ensuring every candle serves both function and beauty. These cherished family skills have passed through generations, giving me a deep appreciation for quality craftsmanship.
From selecting the finest materials to perfecting the finishing touches, our work truly comes from the heart. Our small-batch production allows for careful attention to detail, making each candle and jar a unique masterpiece.
We share this family legacy by selling our artisanal candles wholesale to small retailers, including boutique gift shops, artisan markets, and eco-friendly home stores across the region. You'll also find us in person at vendors' markets, farmers markets, and festivals throughout the year. We also sell our handmade candles online.
Our creations bring warmth and elegance to homes, celebrating the rich tradition of candle-making while adding our own modern, artistic touch. We incorporate minimalist jar designs and blend unexpected scent combinations like eucalyptus and spiced amber, creating something both timeless and fresh.
