Our Story
Welcome to JD Candle Co. Justin Deravin, the founder and head candle maker, originally from Brooklyn, NY, now brings his expertise to North Carolina, where he currently resides after relocating from Long Island. Justin's passion for candle making ignited at a young age, sparked by his curiosity after missing a kindergarten trip to a candle facility.
Growing up, Justin faced challenges that shaped him into the resilient man and business owner he is today. After experiencing the loss of both parents, he turned to candle making as a therapeutic and creative outlet. His personal struggle with headaches from burning store-bought candles inspired him to explore natural ingredients and cleaner formulas.
In 2017, Justin founded JD Candle Co. with a mission to craft high-quality, hand-poured candles. Using natural, sustainable ingredients like soy wax and superior-grade essential oils and fragrances, he ensures that the candles delivered to customers are of the highest quality. Justin takes pride in connecting with customers and meeting their unique needs, sharing his passion for candle making and bringing warmth and light into their homes.
Justin and his team at JD Candle Co. believe that candles can create more than just fragrance—they can evoke positive emotional experiences. If you have any questions or want to learn more about our candles, please don't hesitate to contact us.
