About CocoBee

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

I loved supporting local chandlers.  I was just never quite satisfied with my experiences. 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....everything isn't natural & healthy!

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)  I talked to a lot of companies and started educating myself about all things candles.  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? WHY can't the jars be re-filled
• Is there a different look 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 
• Something truly sustainable (not just words for marketing purposes)
• Something truly healthy 
• 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. The first sustainable and refillable candle in Ripon,CA.

I decided on wooden bowls and other wood vessels as my MAIN vessel.  

WHY?  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 :) 

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

and enjoy some candles too!
