Relax & tell your story.
Tender Love & Candle Co. started in a Bronx kitchen, with one woman, a pot of wax, and a reminder to slow down.
noun. A person who makes or sells candles. Historically a craftsperson who also dealt in soap and oils, and who knew wax the way a baker knows dough.
Hello! I'm Brittany, the founder of TLC & Co., a luxury candle company based in The Bronx, New York. My journey began with a belief that success is not simply given, but earned through dedication and hard work.
In the hustle of pursuing our goals, we often forget the importance of self-care and relaxation. That realization is what started this company, and turning a beloved hobby into a business has been a dream come true.
Xo, B
My mission is to reach homes with the soothing scent of a candle, as a gentle reminder to prioritize yourself.
Four things we won't cut.
Soy-coconut wax, always
No paraffin, no shortcuts. A cleaner, slower burn that fills a room without filling your lungs.
Small batches
Poured by hand, a few dozen jars at a time, so every wick sits straight and every jar gets checked.
Jars worth keeping
Ceramic, not disposable. When the wax is gone the jar becomes a brush pot, a planter, a place for rings.
Packed like a gift
A box, a bow, a little bag. Customers tell us about the packaging before they tell us about the scent.
Poured on Neill Ave.
Everything ships from The Bronx. Not a warehouse, not a white-label factory upstate. A borough, a kitchen table, and a woman who knows which wick suits which jar.
“Everyone that stops by my house while I have a TLC candle burning wants to know the scent and where they can find it. The packaging is so amazing! From the box, to the bow & a cute bag. It screams chic and smells amazing!
“Crimson Comfort is my fav. You light this candle when it's a self-care type of day. The scent relaxes you and leaves you feeling like nothing could ruin whatever good moment you're in. I'd buy 200 at a time. 20/10!
It's lit!
New scents, small-batch drops and the occasional Bronx story. No spam, a little warmth.
