About Us

welcome note

Mountain Rose Botanicals is a second-generation artisanal candlery.

We are inspired by the nature of the Rocky Mountains to craft wholesome, natural candles that benefit both people and planet, and evoke the essence of hygge.

Hygge (a Danish word and concept, pronounced "hoo-gah") doesn't have a literal translation. The best description of hygge is a concept that encompasses the feelings of quiet comfort and contentment.

We personally strive to live a simpler, more meaningful way of life- that which includes a good deal of hygge. We believe the little moments and gatherings in life are important, and time spent with a book and a flickering candle is never wasted.

Mountain Rose Botanicals is built around this concept, as well as charity donations from profits- because we believe it's our duty to lend a helping hand when we can.

Thanks for stopping by, and we hope you find something that you love.

our commitments

Minimal Waste Mindset

All of our labels, business cards, and thank you notes are made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper Kraft.

Ribbons and wrapping paper (when used for special occasions) are 100% recycled and recyclable, made by Wrappily (check em' out at https://wrappily.com ).

Our candles are packaged in recyclable and reusable apothecary jars made in the US (DIY time, anyone?). Also, we're committed to using the least amount of material possible to reduce waste.

Our soy wax melts are packaged in 100% compostable, recycled sugar cane baggies.

All of our packing material is recycled or repurposed. Yes, even the peanuts.

From our crafting processes, to our clean-up and shipping process here at the homestead, we strive to be as thorough as possible with reducing our waste footprint and living our values.

Clean, Functional Ingredients

All of our products are 100% plant-based and cruelty free.

In addition, all our fragrance oils are derived from essential oils, and are free of any ingredients from the California Prop 65 watch list (this means your candle won't contain mutagens, reproductive toxins, or any other icky substances.)

Our cotton + paper wicks are lead and zinc free, and are coated with natural vegetable wax. Our wood wicks don't have a coating.

Don't fret if you see small brown fibers in your candle, or if the wax looks strange after burning. Our products are natural, so these are normal occurrences. No frills added.

Our soy wax is grown and processed in the USA, and contain no additives or dyes.

Giving Back

Having a positive impact on our community is very important for us here at Mountain Rose Botanicals. We highly value a job done right- and we think charity is part of that.

We give back $1 USD per every 2 candles sold to local charities supporting the health of both people and planet.

Compassionate Sourcing

We strive to purchase our raw materials from ethical and sustainable sources, or other small businesses.

Likewise, we strive to purchase our raw materials from sources who can offer carbon-neutral shipping.

Always Handmade

That's how we like it.

All our products are hand crafted with love in our own home in small batches.

You won't find our scents anywhere else- all of our fragrance combinations are truly unique. Our fragrances are mixed in house by our second-gen candle maker, Victoria.
