Handmade Habitat is an all natural soy wax candle and beauty goods company for slow, mindful living.
Our products are consciously crafted with all natural ingredients to be healthy for the body, home, and Mother Earth.
Founder, Amina Ahmad, started Handmade Habitat while she was studying Environmental Science and Policy at the University of Maryland. While researching a paper, she became acutely aware of how toxic the everyday products in our homes are for both the environment and our long-term health. She set out to make her own all natural, eco-friendly soy candles that would not only cleanly illuminate homes, but also do right by the planet. Today, Handmade Habitat produces all products by hand, in small batches, in their sunny work+shop, Habitual Work+Shop in Baltimore, MD.

Our bestselling products that have customers coming back over and over again
WHY: This will prevent your wicks from weighing down and sinking below the melted wax. This will also prevent soot from accumulating in your jars and in your home.
For your first light, this will take 2-3 hours. For subsequent lights, this will take less time.
WHY: Melted wax has a different density than set wax and will melt down at different rates. Burning your candle for enough time to get an even burn surface will prevent tunneling in your candle.
Customers can return their empty jars to our store or to us at markets and events and receive $2 off their purchase.
Handmade Habitat Recycling Partnership: We offer $1 off per jar returned to any HH recycling partner locations. Upon return of jars to either of our shops, we will total the number of jars and apply a $1 discount per returned HH jar to your next wholesale order. Please get in touch to learn more.
