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

When the wax is gone, the gold tin becomes a home for hair ties and earrings.

The guest room nightstand currently holds a phone charger and a sad coaster. It deserves better. Slow North travel tins are made for small spots like that one, or the bathroom shelf, or your desk. Each 6 oz brushed gold tin gives about 20 hours of burn time, poured with soy wax and pure essential oils, and nothing pretending to be a fragrance. The tin is light and the lid pops right off.

Scents: Eucalyptus + Lavender, Midnight Garden, Orange + Clove, Rosemary + Lemon, Moonglow, Embers + Leather, Shangri-La, and Of The Sea.

Once the wax is gone, the tin moves on to hair ties, paper clips, or that one earring still waiting for its partner.
