Our Story

For the longest time, I've had this burning desire (pun intended) to create one-of-a-kind candles, but life always seemed to get in the way. Then COVID came along and made me reevaluate the parts of my life that did not spark joy. Turns out, my creativity space was one of them. With some support from my loved ones, I decided to create something beautiful and totally unique. Melanin Flame was born from a simple spark—a love for candles and a passion for creating space through scent exploration. What started as a creative outlet quickly grew into a vibrant brand rooted in self-care, culture, and community. From hand-pouring our first candle at the kitchen table to opening our own storefront, every step has been fueled by intention and heart.
