What Makes Our Candles Different from Others

I'm excited to share with you the unique features of our Creative Energy candles.

What sets them apart from others is the extraordinary level of care and attention to detail that goes into every aspect of their production. These candles are not your average soy-based candles - in fact, they are made from cosmetic-grade soybean wax, a high-quality material typically used in the production of cosmetics like mascara and lipstick. This means that our candles are designed to be skin-friendly and beneficial for your well-being.

Not stopping there, we infuse our candles with essential vitamins like K, E, and A, along with certified organic extra-virgin coconut oil. These incredible oils have natural healing properties, making our candles not only delightful for the ambiance but also beneficial to your skin. Whether it's a paper cut, sunburn, or any other minor skin concern, the healing attributes of our candles make a noticeable difference.

Additionally, our candles burn at a slower pace compared to regular soy-based candles, with a small travel tin lasting up to 26 hours. These exceptional burn times have been verified through lab testing. Even the wick stands out as it's crafted from 100% cotton, a rarity in the candle industry. And let's not forget that our candles are infused with essential oil blends, ensuring both a healing and environmentally friendly experience.

They bring value not just as a candle, but as a holistic wellness product.

How do I use these as massage candles?

Light the candle for 15-20 minutes until a pool of warm oil forms. Blow out the flame and pour the warm oil directly onto the skin for a nourishing massage

How do Creative Energy Candles work?

Creative Energy Candles are 2-in-1 candles that, when melted, create both an aromatherapy experience and a warm lotion. The melted "wax" is cosmeticgrade and can be used as a moisturizer on all skin types. The candles burn at a skin-safe temperature, making them suitable for use on the skin.

Are your candles environmentally friendly?

Yes! Our candles are made from natural ingredients, including a cotton wick.
The packaging is recyclable, and the containers can be repurposed.

How should I care for my candle to ensure maximum burn time?

To maximize burn time, trim the wick to 1⁄4 inch before lighting. Always allow
the wax to melt across the entire surface before extinguishing the flame to
prevent tunneling

From Kitchen Stove to Nationwide Success

My name is Kara Sherritt, and I’m the proud owner and founder of Creative Energy Candles.

We focus on creating high-end candle lotions that not only deliver skincare benefits but also embrace environmentally friendly practices.

Each candle is hand-poured in Columbia, South Carolina, where we maintain the highest quality and attention to detail.

My journey into candle-making emerged from necessity during the challenging times of the 2008 recession.

After being laid off while pregnant and seeking extra income for the holidays, I rediscovered my childhood love for candle wax.

This moment ignited a passion within me, leading to experimentation in my kitchen.

What began as a desperate attempt blossomed into a thriving business over the past decade, proving that a leap of faith can transform adversity into opportunity.

Our candle wax is crafted with a nourishing blend of cosmetic-grade soybean wax, certified organic extra-virgin coconut oil, and essential oils, enriched with vitamins K, E, and A.

We use 100% cotton wicks to ensure a clean burn, and the warming oils create a soothing temperature of around 100 degrees.

Each candle is designed to provide a luxurious and lasting experience, merging the joy of aromatherapy with the benefits of skincare.
