- “I founded Scrumptious Wicks out of necessity. I was burning through candles so quickly that I would often hesitate to light them because I just wanted them to last longer!
I found that candles sold in most department stores were made with paraffin, which is a petroleum by-product that can release harmful toxins into the air. Soy wax, however, is a great all natural alternative that not only burns cleaner and longer compared to paraffin wax, but is sustainable and made from American farmer-grown soybeans.
I love that my friends from all backgrounds can celebrate their own cultures and everyone is connected through memories of scent and aromas.
I am also a Food Network junkie. So naturally, when I was coming up with candle scents, I would always gravitate towards the food-inspired ones (hello Cookie Butter!). It was important for me to include my favorite Indian-inspired “scrumptious scents” too — like the mangoes I ate everyday with my family in the summer (hello Mango Lassi!). You’ll find that there’s something for everyone to enjoy here!”
