Slowburn candles are small-batch, ritualistic pauses for people who work too much.
Shop CandlesSlowburn started on a fire escape in Brooklyn, where our founder, Maya, would light a candle to mark the end of her workday. What began as a personal ritual grew into a small-batch candle company, dedicated to creating intentional, sensory pauses for the chronically overworked.
Each candle is hand-poured in upstate New York, using coconut wax and cotton wicks, and designed to evoke moments of stillness, warmth, and quiet reflection.
Hand-poured candles for moments of pause.
We believe in the power of small, intentional pauses. Here’s how our community uses Slowburn:
Light your candle as you shut down your computer. Let the flame signal the transition from work to rest.
Start your Saturday morning with a candle, a book, and no agenda. Let the scent set the tone for a slower day.
Stuck on a project? Step away, light a candle, and breathe. The scent will help clear mental clutter.
Stories, rituals, and notes on slow living.
