about

Because you’re most likely wondering, “In Igne” means “on fire” in Latin. You’re welcome… and welcome to my passion project!

I was born in the serene and peaceful city of San Diego and raised across the border in the bold, artistic, and chaotic atmosphere of Tijuana. I grew up with the best of both worlds, adding a cherry on top to my diverse upbringing when I moved to the culturally rich San Francisco. During the pandemic, my longstanding love for candles and drawing ignited a creative journey that ended up turning into a business. Each of my products is a thoughtfully crafted reflection of the places, cultures, and scents that have marked my life in some way or another.

I consider candlemaking to be a fun canvas for my creativity and self-expression. I love blending fragrance oils and different types of waxes to create unique scents that burn slowly and cleanly. As a health and wellness enthusiast, it is very important to me that my candles are gentle on both the body and the environment, so I use high-quality products that don’t release many harmful toxins like mass-produced commercial candles do. I spend weeks experimenting and testing each formula until it’s just right, and I thoughtfully design the labels so that each candle also serves as a little piece of artwork in your space.

Hope you enjoy lighting my candles as much as I enjoy making them! Now sit back, relax, and ignite the chill.

Love,

Tania
