Our Story

   At Lavender & Sage Apothecary, our story began with a deep love for our pets - a pair of playful bunnies and a charming pug - and a commitment to creating a healthier, toxin-free home for our entire family. Concerned about the harmful chemicals found in many traditional candles, we embarked on a mission to create a better product, blending sustainability with science. We believe that candles should be as safe as they are beautiful! That’s why we use 100% soy wax, a natural and renewable resource that burns cleaner and longer than traditional paraffin candles.

   Each of our candles are carefully hand-poured in small batches to ensure the highest quality and attention to detail. We use only the safest ingredients, crafting products that are free from phthalates, petroleum byproducts, and harmful chemicals on California’s Proposition 65 list. 

Why Choose Us?

• Handcrafted with Care
  Every candle we create is a labor of love, reflecting our dedication to craftsmanship and safety. All of our products are carefully researched, developed, and produced for safety and performance. By pouring in small batches, we maintain the integrity of our process, giving each candle a personal touch that mass-produced alternatives can’t replicate.

• Locally Made: Based in Madison, Wisconsin, we are a small, woman-owned business that is proud to support our local community and uphold the spirit of craftsmanship shared by artisanal makers.

• Eco-Friendly: Made from renewable soy wax and toxin-free ingredients, our candles provide a cleaner, greener option compared to traditional home fragrance products or those "eco-friendly" options with paraffin wax blends.    

   At Lavender & Sage Apothecary, we believe every candle we create tells a story of science, sustainability, and artistry. Thank you for choosing to support our small business and handcrafted products. Stay connected with us for updates, candle care tips, and exclusive offers!
