Our Story
At Mitala Candle Co., we believe that true transformation begins with the smallest of actions. Inspired by the Jamaican proverb "Mi likkle but mi tallawah", meaning "I’m small but mighty," our brand is a celebration of how small moments—like lighting a candle—can have a powerful, positive impact on our lives, our homes, and the planet.
Born in the Caribbean, founder Danielle Cobb started making candles for her own personal enjoyment. What began as a hobby—crafting candles for family and friends—soon blossomed into a passion to create something bigger: candles that not only bring calm and peace but are also safe, sustainable, and kind to the Earth. Danielle quickly realized that while candles can transform the atmosphere and energy of a space, many mass-market candles were made with harmful, toxic ingredients that could negatively impact our homes and health. This sparked the creation of Mitala Candle Co.—a line of beautifully crafted, non-toxic candles designed for mindful living.
Every candle at Mitala is made with intention and care. We pride ourselves on our small-batch, hand-poured production process, which ensures that each candle is crafted with the highest standards of quality and sustainability. Our candles feature eco-friendly soy wax, non-toxic fragrance oils, and double cotton wicks, offering a clean, long-lasting burn that’s as good for your soul as it is for the environment. And because we believe in true luxury that doesn’t come at the cost of the Earth, all of our candles are vegan, cruelty-free, and made with ingredients that are safe for both you and the planet.
The aesthetic of Mitala Candle Co. reflects our commitment to simplicity, elegance, and mindfulness. With sleek black matte jars and minimalist design, our candles are timeless pieces that elevate any space, creating a sanctuary of peace and tranquility. But it’s not just about the look—it’s about the experience. Lighting a Mitala candle is more than just an act; it’s a ritual that helps ground you in the present moment and fosters a sense of calm amidst life’s daily chaos.
We are also deeply committed to sustainability in every step of our process, from the ingredients we source to the packaging we use. Our glass jars can be upcycled, giving them a second life once your candle has burned down. And we are constantly exploring ways to reduce our environmental footprint without compromising on quality or luxury.
Mitala Candle Co. is not just a brand; it’s a movement to reclaim our peace, honor our rituals, and remember that even the smallest acts—like lighting a candle—can create a mighty impact. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day, setting the tone for a cozy gathering, or simply savoring a quiet moment to yourself, we invite you to light a Mitala candle and let its gentle glow and soothing fragrance guide you to a space of serenity, strength, and self-care.
