Our Story

Hey there! We're Westlake Handmade from Merritt Island, Florida. Hand-pouring candles and skincare with a lot of curiosity and not much fuss.

Westlake Handmade started as a way to slow down. A hands-on creative outlet from a fast-paced day job. What began as testing waxes, fragrances, and wicks (trying to get the pour just right) turned into something bigger once friends started asking for more candles than I could make for free. In 2019, it became a real thing.

Today we're still hand-pouring every candle in small batches with coconut-apricot wax, wooden wicks that crackle like a mini campfire. Plus skincare and soap made the same way: small runs, ingredients I can explain if you ask. Our concrete vessels are made to be reused long after the candle's gone.

Thanks for being part of the story.
