About

Hi. My name is Heather Carter. I’m a mom with a young child, and like any mom, I want what’s best for the ones I love. That’s why when I first heard about how toxic the candles I was buying were, I was shocked and felt betrayed

You see, I discovered a very dirty secret a large amount of candle manufacturers and sellers are desperate we’ll never find out…

What they don’t want us to know is that, once lit, their candles release dangerous levels of toxins into our homes that create air quality as bad as second-hand smoke or even diesel engine fumes!

What’s worse is that those same toxins have been directly linked to several severe health issues including allergies, neurological problems, cancer, and more…

And it’s not just the cheap-o, generic, discount candles either… this toxic problem is found in even the most pricey and popular household name brands. It’s no wonder this is kept secret with massive profits at stake.

When I learned how disgusting common candles are, I was outraged! I realized I was poisoning my home, poisoning my loved ones, while the candle companies laughed at me behind my back. Here I was for years thinking I was doing the right thing, trying to make my home cozy by lighting up a candle, while unknowingly putting my family’s health at risk. Quite frankly, I felt terrible about it.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE candles. I can’t imagine a world without them. I love the way they smell, I love how relaxing they are, I love the flicker of the flame; they just make everything cozy and better, you know?

I knew I had to do something. And I knew if I really was a good mom I’d never give those deceptive candle companies another dollar from my pocket as long as I lived!

I began my search for a natural, alternative candle, but quickly realized it was no easy task. You see, I could never find a good alternative. The natural candles I tried were either too weak in scent, only “kinda” natural, burned too quickly, or honestly, were just way over-priced.

I decided if I wanted a great natural candle, I’d have to create my own. My mission became clear: 

Create the Perfect Candle

A candle you don’t have to feel guilty about burning… that doesn’t release toxins… and won’t poison you or make you sick.

A candle that smells amazing, but doesn’t contain nasty phthalates.

A candle that looks incredible that fits any decor and you can be proud to show off in your home.

A candle that sounds spectacular with a crackling wick made from wood (a personal favorite).

And most importantly, a candle for us normal people that doesn’t break the bank.

I have to tell you, the mission was a success. And if you join me, none of us will ever have to put up with dirty, nasty, toxic candles again.

I’d like to introduce…

Country Crackle™ Wooden Wick Soy Candles

Made from natural ingredients and 100% safe to burn in your home.

And if you’re the type who cares about your health, has loved ones in the home (babies, children, grand-children, pets), or are an allergy sufferer, this is the perfect candle for you!

You see, Country Crackle candles are hand-crafted right here in the USA, and made from natural ingredients. Meaning they’re NOT made from dirty petroleum by-products, don’t contain phthalates, don’t use wicks made with lead, and have no artificial dyes. There are no toxins and no nonsense… just natural.

Our wax comes from soy grown locally right here in the United States; it’s vegetable-based, and doesn’t leave black soot, so you know it won’t be bad to breathe. What’s best is that it burns 30-50% longer than paraffin candles, so you get more for your money.

Country Crackle candles are infused with phthalate-free fragrance that smells real, not like some artificial scent conjured up by some scientist in a weird laboratory. Our proprietary fragrance dispersion means you can fill the entire downstairs of your home with incredible scent… and doesn’t cause allergies.

Have you ever heard of “topping off?”

Adding fragrance to a candle is one of the most expensive parts of the process. “Topping off” is a cost-saving trick candle companies like to do where they scent only the very top of their candles so they smell good in the store, but after you light them the scent quickly fades away because the majority of the candle has no scent at all! Deceptive, right?

Country Crackle candles are infused 100% from top to bottom with phthalate-free fragrance that smells just as good the first time you light one until the very last drop is used up. You won’t believe the compliments about how nice your home smells when guests stop by.

One feature our beloved customers tell us they adore is the…

Crackling Wooden Wick

Made from locally harvested wood, our wicks burn slow with a soothing crackle and a soft, relaxing flicker. Perfect after a stressful day at work, or just snuggling up with your special someone on the couch.

Country Crackle candles ship in attractive glass jars that fit any decor. They are great for the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room. They also make a fantastic gift for the candle lover in your life. 

Our raving fans tell us Country Crackle candles are the perfect candle… and I think you’re going to love them, too! Get yours today.
