Brand story

Slow North

Slow North started the way a lot of good things do: in a backyard garage, with a new baby in the house. In 2015, after her first son was born, founder Michelle Simmons went looking for candles with ingredients she actually wanted to breathe around her family. She didn't love what she found, so she started pouring her own in Austin, Texas.

That garage project grew into a studio that still hand pours every candle in small batches. The recipes are lean: soy wax, cotton wicks, and 100% essential oils. No synthetic fragrance, no artificial dyes, no mystery list on the label. Soaps, linen sprays and reed diffusers followed, all built on the same idea. Fewer, better ingredients, and scents that are familiar.

Here's the part we really love. Slow North gives 10% of its profits to four causes: the Central Texas Food Bank, The SAFE Alliance, RAICES, and Kiva micro-loans. So the candle on your nightstand is also helping keep pantries stocked and neighbors supported back home in Texas and around the world.

Simple ingredients, easy rituals, and a little good done. That's Universal Design with a warm glow.

Why We Love It

Soy, cotton, essential oils: a label so short you can read it at a glance.

You finally hung the art, moved the couch twice, and the living room still feels one step from done. Light this. The Signature Candle is hand poured in Austin in a frosted glass vessel with soy wax, a cotton wick, and 100% essential oils. Nothing synthetic, so the scent is bright and true without shouting from across the house.

Nine choices: Lemongrass + Tangerine, Orange + Clove, Hello Sunshine, Rosemary + Lemon, Eucalyptus + Lavender, Of The Sea, Moonglow, Embers + Leather, and Shangri-La.

Soy, cotton, essential oils. A three-item list means nobody squints at fine print to know what they're lighting. Honest labels are good design for everyone.
