"You do whatever you can about the misery that's in front of you.
Add your light to the sum of light."
~Billy Kwan, The Year of Living Dangerously
Our mission
Add Your Light Studio was started as a way to help animals.
We are committed to using 30% of our profits to support animal rescue.
Made in Southern California, our candles are created with our own blend of coconut and soy waxes, lead-free cotton wicks, and premium, perfume-grade fragrance oils infused with essential oils.
Our candles are vegan, cruelty-free, and phthalate and paraben free, for an eco-friendly, non-toxic, clean burn.
