About CocoBee

I am an AVID candle lover and always have a cupboard full of candles....always!

I loved supporting local chandlers and buying their art.  I was just never quite satisfied with my experiences...nothing wrong with the candle maker or anything like that.  I just felt like things should be different. I was tired of being "marketed" to with "everything being natural and healthy" and just wanted the truth.

One day I opened my cupboard, saw all the empty candle jars I could no longer re-purpose and KNEW things had to change.  Candle buying isn't supposed to make me feel wasteful, right?

I started doing some research about candle making and the business of candle making.  (I had made candles for fun previously)  Talked to a lot of people, companies and started taking classes/reading books.  This was the beginning of my "candle awakening".

I wanted to answer these questions:  

• Why is everything soy wax?  ....WHY?
• Why do we have to buy a new candle every time?
• Is there other styles out there? 
• Why can't most jars be re-cycled? (most can't....even if they're glass)

These were my MUST have's:

• something different than soy wax and definitely not paraffin wax
• something truly sustainable (not just words for marketing purposes)
• something truly healthy and non-GMO 
• something that would bring a greater value to people, yet be affordable

CocoBee was born!

In spring of 2019, I had gathered enough information to know that I could bring something to my community that wasn't here.

I decided on wooden dough bowls and cheese molds as my MAIN vessel.  

Why?

They are made from various recycled wood or un-useable wood for flooring etc, they are made by hand and they are RE-FILLABLE !!  

This is more sustainable, offers greater value to my customer and is less wasteful than a new candle jar.  

To shorten my story-- the whole MISSION & PURPOSE

of this company is YOU!

To provide YOU with sustainable, affordable and re-useable products; so that you get the most out of your purchase ....all while reducing waste :) 

This company is for you.  

I have a full-time job already, but I willingly put the time aside to bring this concept to our community because I want more for US! 

CocoBee name stands for the waxes I use and also my initials.

Re-use is the future! I hope you join me.....

and enjoy some candles too!
