Our Story

Our Story

Wild West Candle Company was founded in 2020 by Jessica Clowers — an artist at heart with a deep love for creativity, exploration, and the untamed spirit of the West. What began as a simple kitchen hobby soon became something more meaningful after Jessica discovered her dog was sensitive to store-bought candles. Determined to create a safer, cleaner alternative, she immersed herself in research and experimentation, ultimately mastering the craft of candle-making. After retiring from the mortgage industry in 2017, Jessica followed a long-held dream of becoming a small business owner and opened her first Etsy shop, sharing her handmade creations with a growing community that valued artistry and authenticity.

​

At the heart of Wild West Candle Company stands the Wild West Candle Cabin — a space as imaginative as the products created within it. Designed by Jessica and built by her husband, Will, the cabin is both a studio and a work of art, filled with handcrafted details and inspiration at every turn. From music and literature to nature, meaningful conversations, and life’s many adventures, Jessica draws creative influence from the world around her — and from a vibrant imagination that continues to guide the brand.

Our Craft

Every Wild West candle is poured in small batches with intention and care. Using natural soy wax and thoughtfully selected essential and fragrance oils, our candles are designed to create a clean, inviting atmosphere while capturing the warmth and character of the Southwest.

Many of our herbal candles feature dried organic botanicals, some grown right here on site, bringing an added layer of authenticity to each piece. We are committed to using clean scents that support a comfortable, allergy-friendly experience, and all of our products are phthalate-free, dye-free, and crafted without toxins, carcinogens, or harmful chemicals. More than anything, Wild West Candle Company is rooted in the belief that the spaces we live in should feel welcoming, inspired, and uniquely our own. Each candle is created to bring a sense of comfort, beauty, and a little southwestern magic into everyday life.
