Our Story



Hi, I'm Mallika - the brains (and heart) behind Flakes and Flames. I started this company with my husband, Kevin, out of our shared love for scented candles and the beautiful ambience it always creates in our home. Be it a quiet date night in, movie marathons, getting lost in a good book, hosting guests, or even cooking - lighting a scented candle has become a ritual for us! Candles evoke a sense of warmth, just like watching a beautiful sunset with our loved one does. It wasn't until recently that we learned about how a strong smelling candle might not be the best candle for your health. Understanding the harmful ingredients used in conventional candles along with their side effects was eye-opening for us and we decided to hop on to the all-natural-candles bandwagon. 

Our candles are made from 100% soy wax and boast superior burn times while emitting non-toxic fragrances free from phthalates and parabens. You can breathe easy knowing that our lead-free cotton wicks deliver a clean, eco-friendly burn, leaving behind nothing but the delightful scent of your choice.

We’re truly grateful that you've joined us on this journey. We pour our hearts into every product, and we sincerely hope you find as much joy in using them as we do in creating them for you!

Lots of love and warmth,
Mallika & Kevin
