ABOUT US

Z CANDLES was established by Erica Zabudsky and 8 years later, Hillary Gibson joined as part co-partner. We both share a passion for creating comfortable cozy spaces with a high belief that candles are an important element in creating a desirable environment, not only in appearance but in aroma.

Z CANDLES does not blend waxes and simply contain 100% soy wax derived from domestic soy beans that are hand poured into modern vessels.  Our candles do not contain dyes or phthalates, meaning there are no chemicals released into the air and are safe for you, your little ones and your pets.  Our wicks are made from natural cotton and do not contain lead or zinc.

Our candles are not overpowering with fragrance, but enough to create a pleasant aroma in your space, allowing you to burn your candle for 3-4 hours at a time without being offensive with intense fragrance.  We offer a variety of candle sizes depending on the size of your space and preference of fragrance intensity.  When lit, our candles warmly glow, creating ultimate coziness and style to your home or space.

COMING SOON! Our Candle Boutique + Lab is coming soon (late Winter) to Kruse Village in Lake Oswego. We are excited for you to sniff our wide variety of scents in person and experience candle making in our lab. Follow on our instagram account for updates and to watch how we build out our boutique!

"I can't say enough amazing things about Z CANDLES. They are a beautiful accent in my home, the scents are amazing and subtle. These are some of the best candles I have ever purchased. I love to purchase them as hostesses gifts, gifts for my kids teachers, and for my girlfriends and family members. The team at Z CANDLES is professional, helpful, and speedy! Love, Love, Love!"

"Z CANDLES are literally the best candles on earth! The candle scents leave a light, natural fragrance that never overpowers a room, yet they are strong enough to clearly refresh a space or set a mood. These candles make amazing presents for family, friends, teachers, and co-workers. Plus they're vegan, hand-made in small batches, and are chemical-free."

"Z CANDLES are THE ONLY candle I use in my home! My seasonal allergies require limited scents and these candles are fresh, clean, and not too over powering. Also, the price point is perfect for housewarming gifts, teacher or babysitter presents and/or thank you gifts. My favorites are Fig, Grapefruit and White Hibiscus...they are a must try!"
