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.

Our Story

Welcome to Kara’s Retreat
Your Spa Begins Now

Your Wellness Escape, Anytime, Anywhere

Our Creative Energy Candles are more than just scent and light — they melt into a warm, healing, luxurious body lotion enriched with organic coconut oil, vitamins K, E, and A, and cosmetic-grade soybean wax.

Here’s how to turn everyday moments into a Home-Spa experience:

 After Cooking or Cleaning:

Once the dishes are done, your hands deserve some love.

Light your candle while you tidy up.

After washing your hands, dip into the melted wax—made soft and nourishing by organic coconut oil and vitamins—and massage the warm oil into your skin for instant softness.

 After-Bath Glow:

After stepping out of the bath, your skin is warm, soft, and ready to absorb moisture.

Light your Creative Energy Candle before or during your soak. Once melted, blow it out and gently pour a small amount into your hands.

Massage the warm oil into your skin—legs, arms, shoulders—for a deeply hydrating, spa-like finish. Just warmth, softness, and calm.

 Before & After Your Manicure:

Treat your hands to spa-level care.

Before: Light your candle while prepping your nails.

The scent sets the mood, and the warm oils soften your cuticles naturally — perfect for gentle pushing and trimming.

After: Once your polish is dry, massage the melted wax—rich with organic coconut oil and vitamins—into your hands and cuticles for deep hydration and a healthy, finished glow.

 Midday Reset Moment:

Use your candle for a quick, 3-minute mental reset:

  1. Light the candle and close your eyes for 30 seconds — take a few deep breaths.
  2. Let the scent ground you while the wax melts into a pool of warm, nourishing oil.
  3. Put a very small amount of wax in the palm of your hand, cuff your hands together, and take a deep breath in. The essential oils in our candle’s blend will help you relax.
  4. Massage the melted oils into your hands, temples, or neck to melt tension away.

 Candle-Infused Self-Massage for Bedtime:

 Create a calming night routine your body will thank you for.
 Light your Creative Energy Candle about 15–20 minutes before bed.
 Let the soft glow and soothing blend of essential oils—including lavender, eucalyptus, and chamomile—gently prepare your mind and body for rest.
 Once a small pool of wax has melted, blow out the flame and carefully pour a bit into your hands.
 The candle’s nourishing formula, made with organic coconut oil, vitamins K, E, and A, cosmetic‑grade soybean wax, and skin‑loving natural butters, melts into a warm, silky oil perfect for massage.
 Gently massage into your neck, shoulders, hands, or feet—anywhere tension lingers.
 The warmth relaxes muscles
 The essential oils calm your senses
 Organic coconut oil deeply hydrates and soothes your skin
 No screens, no stress—just a few mindful minutes to unwind and invite restful sleep.

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.

  • 10 oz Glass Candle: ~55 hours
  • 6 oz Glass Candle: ~35 hours
  • 3.5 oz Travel Tin: ~23 hours
  • 2 oz Candle: ~15-20 hours

Are your ingredients safe for skin?

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
