More than just a candle...
A Mo&Co Home candle is truly more than just a candle, it is a testament to traditional craftsmanship and the high quality of a lovingly handmade product. Our mission has remained the same since the beginning – we intend to sustainably handcraft the cleanest burning beeswax candles on the market that are as good for you and the planet as they look.
ABOUT US
Mo&Co Home is a California-founded candle company, inspired by the ethereal beauty of Mother Nature. Each candle is thoughtfully handmade from sustainably sourced beeswax and cotton from the USA, eco-consciously colored, and free from artificial fragrance to create the cleanest burning candle experience possible. Harmoniously released with the turn of each season, our candles bring the magical essence of nature to your homes and lives.
OUR STORY
Mo&Co Home was established in 2020 by Amy DeSamsonow. Amy’s daily ritual of burning candles with her evening meals led her to question the integrity of the ingredients in taper candles. Finding herself with an unexpected amount of free time at the beginning of the global coronavirus pandemic, Amy channeled her curiosities into the craft of candle-making. She began learning the ins and outs of candle making – exploring traditional techniques, sustainable materials, non-toxic ingredients, and more. After months of experimentation, Mo&Co Home’s classic 10 inch taper beeswax candle was created. Within just a few weeks, Mo&Co Home was met with overwhelming support from customers and retailers, all wishing to bring a little extra glow into their spaces. Amy’s kitchen was soon outgrown as the support continued and in faith, she rented a studio in Pacific Grove, California to establish the flourishing business. As the business expanded, so did the team. Amy’s partner in business and life, Mateo Peña Doll, designed custom melters and candle equipment that supports the traditional process of dipped candles. Mo&Co Home has since moved to a larger studio a few blocks away and has grown into a small business with a passionate team. Our mission has remained the same since the beginning – we intend to sustainably handcraft the cleanest burning beeswax candles on the market that are as good for you and the planet as they look.
