Artisans
Who Made Your Candle?
Behind every candle we pour is a resilient woman and her journey toward a brighter future. Whether fleeing persecution, a war widow, or a mother escaping poverty, her strength and perseverance have led her to Prosperity Candle.
Your candle includes the name of the artisan who made your candle, either on the label or a story card. She would love to hear from you.
