About us

Hi there! I’m Natalie Olson, the founder of Olson Candles LLC, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I started this small business in 2019, but the idea actually began a few years earlier in my high school entrepreneurship class. That class showed me how I could turn my love for cozy spaces and creativity into something real.

What began as a school project turned into a full-blown passion, and that passion became Olson Candles—a collection of thoughtfully hand-poured candles made to bring warmth and calm into your space.

From the beginning, it’s been important to me that my products are eco-friendly and safe to use around pets. That means using clean-burning wax, natural fragrances, and sustainable packaging—so you can enjoy your favorite scents without worry.

Whether you’re here for a gift, a treat for yourself, or just browsing—thank you for supporting a dream that started in a classroom and grew into something truly special. 💛

Stay cozy,
Natalie Olson
Founder, Olson Candles LLC
