Hi! My name is Riley!
I am the owner of Island Girls Candle Co. At the end of 2020, I had a "Covid lockdown" idea to start making candles as a hobby for my friends and family. And after months and months of testing, I ended up launching Island Girls Candle Co as a full blown business!
Our products are hand poured in Bonnyville
by myself and my amazing mother, in my kitchen 5 at a time using 100% natural coconut soy wax, cotton wicks
and phthalate and paraben free scent oils.
Alberta is now home to me, but I was born and raised in a small town on Vancouver Island. This is why you see some of our candle names represent our home, as well as the company name.
This is a very family oriented business as my biggest helpers are my family members! Whether it is my step dad helping me load and unload shipments, my papa building me tools to help with my candle process, my nana helping with markets in their senior village or all of us sitting around the table labeling the finished products on a Sunday afternoon. I truly could not do this without them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and getting to know me. I hope you love our products as much as we love making them for you.
