In October 2013, And The People was created in a 350 sq. foot apartment outside of Boulder, Colorado. We were a bit cramped for space, but happy to teach ourselves the craft and be able to share our creations with others. Since we started selling on Etsy, we've expanded into a new space with a little more breathing room, but we still love to use the small-batch process because it lets us hand craft every detail of our product.

We are proudly different from most candle brands because we focus on the quality of materials, and our "back to basics" approach has led to all of our creations being free of synthetic dyes and chemical additives. Too commonly shelves are stocked with products containing completely unpronounceable, unnatural ingredients - so we opted to stop inviting and burning these toxins in our home and around our families, and we made our products available to everyone else in hopes that you will, too.

Our scents are also unlike many others -- we love creating unique scent combinations that most people wouldn't imagine together, but create a beautiful aroma when paired. Our inspiration comes from our favorite experiences, memories, places, and of course, people: the reason behind our name.
