My name is Valerie, and I am the proud owner and creator behind Val Viola Candles! Nestled in the heart of Orange, Connecticut, our small business was built with one simple mission in mind: to create whimsical, beautifully crafted candles that are both safe and enjoyable for everyone to use. Every candle is thoughtfully hand-poured in small batches using 100% soy wax and carefully selected clean ingredients that allow you to enjoy luxurious scents without compromise.

The inspiration for Val Viola Candles came from a very personal place. For years, I struggled to find candles and home fragrance products that did not trigger my migraines. I loved the cozy feeling candles brought into a space, but so many products on the market were filled with harsh chemicals and overpowering fragrances that left me feeling sick instead of comforted. After countless disappointments, I decided to take matters into my own hands and began researching cleaner, higher-quality alternatives. Through lots of testing, learning, and experimenting, I discovered ingredients that finally worked for me without sacrificing beautiful scent or quality.

As I shared my creations with family and friends, I quickly realized I wasn’t alone. So many people around me had experienced similar struggles with headaches, sensitivities, and irritation caused by traditional candles and synthetic fragrances. That realization sparked something much bigger than a hobby — it became the foundation of Val Viola Candles.

Today, every product we create is designed with care, intention, and wellness in mind. Our candles are phthalate-free, paraben-free, non-toxic, eco-friendly, pet-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free, making them a truly guilt-free indulgence you can feel good about bringing into your home. We believe clean-burning candles should still be fun, whimsical, and luxurious, and we are passionate about creating products that make your space feel warm, inviting, and safe.

At Val Viola Candles, we are more than just candles — we are about creating moments of comfort, joy, and peace of mind. Whether you are lighting one of our candles to unwind after a long day, set the mood for a cozy evening, or gift someone special, we hope each product brings a little extra happiness into your life. Thank you for supporting our small business and allowing us to be part of your home and your story.
