Lit Up Horsin' Around Collection

Lit Up Candle Co. was founded by two beer lovers with a candle-making problem on a mission to promote sustainability.

Our process starts by collecting empty beer bottles from local events and businesses, saving them from the landfill as the Atlanta area no longer recycles glass. After removing the labels, we use a 4-step cold-working process to repurpose the bottles into usable upcycled containers for our candles: first we use a wet saw to hand-cut the glass then we use the lapidary wheel to grind away any imperfections or chipping, pre-polish the now smooth edge and lastly polish it to add shine back onto the glass.

Then we give them new life as soy candles: 

• We only use premium all-natural soy wax with our candles to ensure a clean, slow burn. 
• We use a lead-free hemp wick, which is more sustainable than cotton, and burns hotter providing a better fragrance throw when lit.
• To ensure our candles have the best possible fragrance (both unlit and while burning) we use the maximum ratio of fragrance oil to soy wax (almost double the recommended amount). 
• We work directly with a perfumer to create the strongest multi-note scents.
