About us
The Heart of SimpliNature
Proudly handcrafted in the Adirondack Mountains.
Simpli Nature began with a single mission: to craft the cleanest, best-burning candle on the market. As a family-owned and operated business, we don't just make products; we share our "secret candle recipe"—a blend you won't find anywhere else.
Why Simpli Nature?
Unlike mass-produced candles filled with "yuck" (paraffin and chemicals), our candles are a "Green" experience for your home and soul.
-
100% Natural Soy Wax: Supports American farmers and their families.
-
The Lotion Secret: Our wax burns at a lower temperature with skin-safe scents. Dip your finger in the warm wax (not the flame!) and use it as a nourishing massage lotion.
-
Truly Clean: No paraffin soot, no chemical dyes, and zero phthalates or parabens.
-
Sustainable Soul: From biodegradable wax to our sustainable Bamboo lids that double as coasters and our jars and lids that clean up with soap and water to reuse.

The Ritual: Care & Maintenance
To ensure the perfect Adirondack glow, follow these simple steps:
-
Trim the Wick: Keep it at 1/4”. If you see "mushrooming" at the end, just pull it off for a clean burn.
-
Burn it Right: Our candles burn straight across and down, lasting much longer than paraffin.
-
Recycle & Reuse: Soy cleans up easily with soap and water. Once finished, turn your jar into a herb garden or your tin into a home for treasures. The bamboo lid can be a coaster for your favorite beverage.
