Home / About Kosmic Kandles

Kosmic Kandles launched in 2020 as a cozy little quarantine project born from homesickness, a love for crafting, and the wild idea of sending candles to family without spending a rocketload on shipping. I started small, just me and a few small yogurt jars, selling through Etsy and hoping someone out there would enjoy what I was creating.

Spoiler alert: the first candles were... not great.

But after plenty of feedback, a few (okay, many) wax-splattered disasters, and the mind-blowing realization that candle-making is actual chemistry, I dove headfirst into learning everything I could. Testing. Reworking. Learning more. Testing again. Slowly but surely, things began to click...and burn evenly.


In 2021, I registered Kosmic Kandles LLC in the state of Texas, launched my own site, and decided to start streaming the process live on Twitch. On stream, I bring people behind the scenes to show what really goes into making each candle, from pouring to packaging. It’s not always glamorous, but it’s real. And it’s 100% powered by passion (and caffeine).




🪐 A One-Woman Show with a Mission

I’m the creator, designer, pourer, packer, customer service rep, website editor, supply orderer, and social media goblin behind Kosmic Kandles. Every product you see here is hand-poured in small batches right from my home studio with love, care, and often a dash of ethically sourced mica glitter.

I’ve even been lucky enough to collaborate with creators and brands I admire like working with GUN Interactive on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Game, and bringing literary worlds to life through scent with author L.C. Watson.



🚀 Fueled by Community

This journey wouldn’t exist without the incredible support from my community. From Twitch streams to Discord hangouts to every single person who’s ever lit a Kosmic Kandle in their space, you’ve helped me keep this little dream orbiting.


Kosmic Kandles isn’t just a business. It’s a creative launchpad, a safe space, and a testament to what one person can build with enough perseverance and the right crew cheering them on.

Thank you for being part of my universe. I’m so excited for what’s next, and I can’t wait to take you with me on the ride.

Stay glowing,
Kait✨

Darkly delicious

I got to try this in the sample phase as Leviathan. It is such a present and powerful scent. It's like the cologne you wear on a date with the woman who truly stirs something from deep up inside you. So, it's only fitting to now be named Shadow Daddy. Why not get moved by something so dark, warm, and mysterious?

A trip to the bookshop!

Do you just love old libraries or cozy bookshops? That smell when you crack open an old well taken care of leatherbound hardcover book. Cozy up with your favorite old tale with this one.

This was one of the original Kosmic Kandles I tried about two years ago. It's the first scent I fell in love with. And you never forget your first love. The adventure into something new and unknown. The hopes and dreams. The good memories that linger and never burn out. You won't want to let the light go out on this one.

It's so good.

It is sweet, but not overly so. To me this smells like a modern-day quality perfume/cologne for any gender. It's blended well. Kait really did an excellent job on her own personal collaboration.

CANDLE MOTHER HAS OUTDONE HERSELF

I’ve sniffa’d many Kosmic smells, all wonderful, but this one truly takes the trophy. The scent itself is fresh and so light, and it travels very well! Just one melt made half of my work’s building radiate with calming scents. Matcha Mist has gotten so many compliments from patients too! 10000/10 recommend for anyone who likes their spaces smelling clean and peaceful💜

the perf masculine scent.

has a certain smokiness to it on first sniff out the box; after lighting i get a bit of aquatic and like sultry scents that really feels like your dream man is in reach! lighting this while playing bg3 >>>

a rainy cafe filled with goodness awaits

i tried this scent a month ago and has been something i have repurchased multiple times. a very unique tea scent. before lit a lot of bright citrus comes to the forefront and subtle notes of tea comes as the linger scent. after lighting it truly does become the perfect blend of scents ; it's a perfect everyday scent and has beautiful projection! a crowd pleaser that has people asking what is burning in my room

That PERF sweet yet clean smell

on first impressions out the box before lighting, you get the base notes of the vanilla and woods which gives a similar vibe to the ariana grande cloud. ONE OF MY FAVE CREATOR SCENTS because as you burn it some of the freshness of the citrus comes thru and the clean yet sweet coconut really shines in the best way and immediately fills a room. Perf vibe to light and enjoy some overwatch!

Light as a Cloud, Refreshing as a Spring Day!

If you're hesitant about the coconut being too strong, or any of the other scents, this beautiful blend has managed to mingle each one perfectly- it's hard to single any one out. While this is a light and refreshing smell, it can still cover a ton of space without being overwhelming! For reference, I live in a two-bedroom duplex, and can smell it all the way into the kitchen when one melt is in the smallest bedroom. A great spring or summer pick, or any season you may need to drift off into the clouds!

a unique earthy yet clean smell. has nice projection and i could see myself hoarding this. love love LOVE

honestly went into this fragrance with no clue what to expect but its not your typical lavander. has notes of tea and more herbal qualities and is truly just a elevated lavander. i have this scent in my bathroom and the smell carries over thru the hallway. totally recommend 👌

Honestly the lasting power of these diffusers is phenomenal. Been obsessed with the matcha scent in the house and now i can have it on the go! Awesome!!!

My new favourite scent EVER

I want to bathe in this smell. I want it bottled as a fragrance. It smells like drinking a delicious matcha latte after it has just rained and you're in a gorgeous forest and wildflower garden. This smell is STUNNING!

My Office is Obsessed!!

I don’t know how she does it; this scent is INCREDIBLE! It’s sweet but not overbearing, the citrus adds a subtle extra splash of goodness and overall it’s very comforting. Perfect for melting in a doctor’s office🥰 Definitely buying again!

Amazing Scent!

I love how it gives me a warm and cozy winter vibe of sitting in front of the fireplace drinking hot chocolate!

Oooooweeee Shadow Daddy

This candle has a smell that commands obedience and respect, but will make you be disrespectful but obedient! Ayo!

Love love love!!! Best scent!

Have had the most sensual,elevated smelling experience from this candle. Listening to the wood crackling while a pass of the holiday magic that is this smell. Safe to say will be hoarding (maybe buying another) the cinnamon in this is really subtle but elevates the pine and peppermint notes to a whole other level. Is a vibrant smell, enough to fill a room and you can smell it linger after the candle is blown out. Well done and can't wait to see the other candles to come for this line!!!!

The diffuser smells so good, but it took me a little bit to figure out how to use it and the lid snapped when I was twisting it back on. Might be more helpful to have a small instruction to tell the user there is a stopper inside and can’t over tighten the lid. (I think I tightened it too much without realising because of the thread)

My mom LOVES IT. I got it for her as a gift for her birthday and Christmas.

My new favorite scent

This scent helps me deal with the cold weather. Will I be repurchasing this scent in the near future? ABSOLUTELY

A Wintry Win!

I was hesitant to try Nova Noel at first, not being a fan of pine scents, but all hesitation has been wonderfully wiped out like a tube sled on ice! (Great times!) The pine isn't strong at all, and certainly not the same smell that those harsh cleaners tend to have. Every scent works in harmony to create a smooth, refreshing blend, reminiscent of a crisp winter's day- all without the risk of frostbite.

Once again, Kait has shown her incredible ability to craft an amazing candle and wax melt. You won't be disappointed!

Smells amazing & great customer service

I placed my first order and unfortunately my Alien candle arrived broken but Kosmic Kandles was so quick to send out a replacement. This is the perfect scent for cozy weather!

One of the best ones!

It's one scent i really liked at first smell! Love love love Solistice Magick and i might buy more of it soon after my current melts are out ❤️ 10/10

Love love love!!!

Such a great scent! One of my new faves!

This scent is like a sweet sticky caramel scent and this purchase was a gift for someone and honestly I love it and hope they do as well!
