About Us

Genesis 1:12 Candles started as a fun project at home inspired by my sister because she's highly sensitive to the synthetic ingredients in most candles. I myself love candles, wall plug-ins, perfumes and anything that smells good. I used to have a whole morning routine  that involved specific products that I had to wear or I wouldn't feel complete - certain shampoos, hair sprays, lotions, deodorants, perfumes, etc... This became a challenge once we figured out that the reason behind my sister's illnesses were due to all of the harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances that were in those products. I didn't want to give up the things that I loved, but didn't want to make her sick so I started looking for other options and found there really isn't much out there. Then, I decided I'd make my own products using organic soy and coconut wax and essential oils; nothing synthetic about those. The more I researched what was in the products we use and how harmful they are to our bodies, the more motivated I was to create an alternative for not just our family, but for everyone. Not only do my candles NOT have any synthetic chemicals in them, but they also have many beneficial properties, depending on which essential oils are used in that particular candle.
