Born from a sun-soaked vision in Los Angeles, California and now thriving in the vibrant heart of NYC, Shine Lab began with a simple idea: candles should do more than just glow; they should evoke memories, capture personalities, and elevate every moment.

 

Founder, Summer Taylor, began making candles for her friends in the midst of the 2020 pandemic, hoping to share a bit a light during lock down. Every candle was a reflection with each friend in mind, hand-poured with care, and blended with scents inspired by their personalities. 

 

As word of mouth spread, friends wanted to send these personalized candles to one another, and the Shine Lab journey began. Shine Lab candles quickly found homes in spaces across the country, with collaborations with like-minded brands and companies who shared her passion for unique, handcrafted scents.

 

Join us in this scented adventure, where every candle tells a story, and your moments shine a little brighter.
