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✨

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!

This scent is perfectly spiced with some edge with the smokiness, like sensual autumn and cozy vibe. I think this scent would layer/pair very well with spellbound but a good stand alone scent as well. Makes me think of going to the ren fair as a kid.

Has the autumn spiciness that i crave from fall time but not the sweetness, the flower adds a freshness to it that makes this scent nostalgic to me? Like going to the apple orchard and getting a cup of hot cider, the apple isn't too overwhelming and overall compliments the other notes beautifully.

A wonderful year round scent!

While not what i expected in terms of coffee scented, Overall i found it to be a wonderful fragrance still. I debated on 4 or 5 stars given what i was hoping for was a more bitter, cafe style fragrance but ultimately settled on 5 stars as it's still a wonderfully crafted scent that i can see myself using year round.

If you like sweeter coffee such as latte's that have coffee undertones but present their flavor more than the coffee, this candle is 100% for you and I would easily recommend it! There's even glitter in the wax that's a cute touch and makes the candle visually a treat as well.

This candle also come packed with adorable brand stickers and info cards, and i even got a little wax melt sample sent along that was absolutely magnificent. So on top of already getting an amazing candle you're also getting a customer experience and quality that rivals, if not surpasses that of big brands.

Imagine yourself walking thru a apple orchard with a loved one and filling your basket with as many apples as your heart desires. Has a fresh juicy apple scent that is sweet yet refreshing!

this smell brings me to a crisp autumn morning where you can smell the brisk air and falling leaves and the notes of freshness hit my nose first. Will keep this one on rotation for when I do a deep clean and is the perfect transition scent between fall and winter! Buying more so I can never run out!!!

Has Become a part of the top 4!

CHEF HERE! IF YOU KNOW ME YOU KNOW I HAVE A GOOD TOP THREE HOW EVER FOR THE FIRST IME I HAVE A TOP 4 FOR SOMETHING! This Candle will leave your room smelling amazing 3 DAYS after the candle is unlit!

This smell is what you would imagine a small town book store would smell like in a good way. Has the smell of picking up a leather bound , well loved book and giving it a good read! I would recommend this scent to someone who loves a more masculine leaning scent!

Smelled so yummy like a tasty cake

Yummy and good throw
