Built by Candle Makers, For Candle Makers

Our team of professional chandlers and technical specialists builds precision tools grounded in studio practice and laboratory research. Every formula is tested, verified, and backed by hands-on production expertise.

Our Journey

1

Recognizing the Challenge

While running a commercial candle studio, our founders Avery Collins and Logan Pierce experienced firsthand how inconsistent batches and manual calculations lead to costly material waste. They set out to build dependable tools for their own production line and the wider maker community.

2

Building the Framework

Partnering with chemist Dr. Maya Singh, we created precise mathematical models for wax density, fragrance load, and container performance. Studio trials across soy, paraffin, beeswax, and coconut wax helped refine coefficients for each material.

3

Sharing with Makers

After extensive validation, we released our calculators to fellow chandlers. Their feedback led to fragrance load planning tools, unit converters, and wax-specific optimizations tailored to real production challenges.

4

Continuous Growth

Today we collaborate with candle makers, educators, and suppliers around the world. Our tools help makers reduce waste, improve consistency, and confidently scale their product lines while we continue to expand resources and partnerships.
