All natural soy wax candles and beauty goods for slow, mindful living
Handmade Habitat was born from the desire to live more mindfully, walk more lightly, and be more active in our everyday choices. Founder Amina Ahmad started making candles in her college apartment while getting her degree in Environmental Science and Policy from the University of Maryland.
After learning about the toxic effects our everyday products can have on our home, environment, and health, she started making her own eco-friendly all natural soy wax candles and beauty goods in between writing papers on how handmade is better for the environment.
A business born from slow, steady growth and lots of long days at summer craft fairs, Handmade Habitat is now based out of a large airy production studio in Baltimore, Maryland while maintaining a small store front and workshop space in Washington, DC at the Brookland Arts Walk.
Our beauty products are all natural, and good for your skin + soul
Our candles burn cleanly to enrich your home’s atmosphere + energy
We use eco-friendly materials in our work to work with the Earth, not against it
