Handcrafted in Kelowna, BC
Small-Batch Candles That Fill Your Home with the Okanagan
Hand-poured coconut-soy wax. Clean, carefully selected fragrance oils. Made in small batches in Kelowna for your home, your rituals, and the people you love.
Made with intention
A candle made the right way
Every candle starts with coconut-soy wax, a premium, clean-burning blend that holds fragrance beautifully and burns slower than standard wax.
We pair it with carefully selected fragrance oils to create scents inspired by the Okanagan: pine forests after rain, ripe stone fruit, lake mornings, and the warmth of home in winter. Nothing mass-produced. Nothing we wouldn’t burn ourselves.

Carefully selected fragrance oils

Every candle starts with a love of this place
VISION BEHIND THE BRAND
Gist of Light was born in Kelowna — a city surrounded by orchards, a lake, and sky. I pour every candle by hand, in small batches, because that’s the only way to make something you’d actually want in your home. The Okanagan shapes everything: the scents, the seasons, the care that goes into each pour.
