A Beautiful Light

Chemical-free candles created by an Alpharetta mom

LNB Candles was started more than 16 years ago in Alpharetta by Michelle Walters as a way to accommodate her daughter’s allergies to chemicals, while staying true to her love and enjoyment of candles. The word quickly grew and soon keeping it as a home-based business became impossible. Michelle's husband came down one morning for breakfast and was greeted with 450 candles throughout the home being prepared for three weddings. It was time for the next step: a retail location.

Today LNB Candles has a wonderful retail store that both new and regular customers love to visit, shop, and update Michelle with conversations of life's daily milestones. The store provides the Alpharetta area and beyond with clean ingredient candles, room sprays, perfumes and an expanding line of home essentials. They also offer refills on candle containers. Michelle is constantly updating and adding new product lines.

In addition to clean soy wax candles, find car fresheners, perfumes and body sprays, room sprays, hand sanitizers, diffusers, plug-in diffusers, and custom orders for weddings and events.

The retail store is located near Halycon at 6778 Jamestown Drive, Alpharetta.

Products can be found online at their website, Amazon and Walmart. Delivery and pick-up are also offered for convenience. LNB Candles participates in the award-winning Alpharetta Farmers Market each Saturday during the season that runs from April to November.

Candle lover's tips:

Use a blow dryer on a medium-high setting to soften the small amount of wax left at the bottom of a jar or candle holder. You can remove it with a gentle cloth. 

Trimming the wick allows the flame to have a clearer and brighter burn. Keeping wicks shorter also means your candles will have a cleaner burn.
