The Studio Philosophy

Rituals for Slower Living

Hand-poured in small batches of twenty-four in our quiet Greenpoint studio. Every vessel is designed to be cherished, cleaned, and reused forever.

From the Founder

“A candle should quiet a room, not overwhelm it.”

I founded Juniper after years of getting headaches from commercial department store candles made with petroleum paraffin wax and synthetic fragrance compounds. Most candles on big retail shelves are essentially refined petroleum soot in your living room.

We pour solely with non-GMO soybean wax farmed in Iowa and blend with pure steam-distilled essential oils and phthalate-free botanical perfumery. Our wheel-thrown ceramic vessels are made with local stoneware and meant to hold pens, tea, or succulent cuttings long after the flame is out.

Steam-distilled from reclaimed forestry trimmings. Warm, earthy, and grounding with zero synthetic additives.

Provence, France Organic Wild Thyme & Sage

Hand-harvested along Mediterranean hillside tracks, yielding intensely fragrant herbal aromatics.
