About Me

Our Story

DeFlame Candles was founded in 2020 by Kenga Jackson, a proud native of Toledo, Ohio. After a spinal injury in 2014, Kenga focused on recovery while pursuing her education, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Management and Technology from Bowling Green State University in 2018.

Her love for candles sparked a new passion when she purchased a candle-making kit to experiment with creating her own. Frustrated by her inability to find her favorite wax melt scents in stores, she began researching and testing formulas. After more than a year of dedication and practice, she crafted products that matched her vision of quality, elegance, and safety.

At DeFlame Candles, our goal is to provide a classic and elegant experience while offering products that are both safe and clean for everyday use. Every candle, wax melt, and hand-dipped incense stick is made with high-quality, non-toxic essential oils and fragrance oils, ensuring that our customers can feel confident about what they bring into their homes.

Kenga’s mission is simple: to create fragrances that inspire joy, relaxation, and confidence one flame at a time.
