Juniper Beach Candle Co. founder and coastal inspiration

Our Story

Inspired by slower living
and coastal simplicity.

Hi there, and welcome to Juniper Beach Candle Co.

My love for the Washington Coast began in childhood, spending summers at my family’s beach cabin on Juniper Beach.

That quiet stretch of shoreline, with salt air, drifting tides, and peaceful views, shaped my appreciation for slower living.

Those memories became the heart behind this brand: candles designed to bring a little of that coastal calm into your home.

With a background as a registered nurse, health and well-being have always been close to my heart. After becoming a stay-at-home mom to my two boys, I felt inspired to create something meaningful — a collection of sustainable, clean-burning candles made with intention and care.

Thank you for being here and supporting this small business, and the family behind it. It truly means more than you know.

With gratitude, Alyssa

Hemp Paper


Our candle labels, care cards, gift tags, and botanical melt boxes are thoughtfully designed, printed, and finished in-house using premium hemp paper made from 70% post-consumer waste and 30% hemp fiber. Each piece has a subtle natural texture that brings warmth, refinement, and intention to every detail.

Made from recycled materials and processed without chlorine, our hemp paper reflects our commitment to thoughtful design and conscious sourcing. Durable and beautifully crafted, it adds an elevated finish while supporting a more sustainable approach to packaging.

Glass Vessel


Our elegant, glossy white candle jars are carefully selected and rigorously tested through extensive burn trials to ensure exceptional safety and durability. Designed to be timeless and versatile, they complement any space with quiet sophistication.

Once the candle has been enjoyed, these vessels can be repurposed for storage, home décor, or planters—encouraging sustainability well beyond the burn. Their clean, minimalist design allows them to transition beautifully into everyday use throughout the home.

Packaging


Our packaging reflects our commitment to sustainability, using kraft paper boxes and recycled crinkle paper to reduce waste and preserve forests. Naturally biodegradable and compostable, these materials return gently to the earth while their lightweight nature helps lower transportation emissions.

Each candle box is finished with rustic burlap twine—a plastic-free alternative that adds both charm and function—creating packaging that protects your purchase while caring for the planet.

Pine Lids


Our candle lids are crafted from sustainably sourced pine wood, a fast-growing renewable resource. Biodegradable, recyclable, and naturally lightweight, pine reflects our commitment to more conscious material choices.

Designed for continued use beyond the candle itself, each lid may be repurposed as a coaster for a drink, a base for a small plant, or a simple surface protector. Its soft grain and natural finish offer a warm, understated beauty that complements each candle beautifully.
