WELCOME TO SWAN'S TRAIL ROAD
clean, simple & pure
Zero. We don't use any emulsifiers, fragrance enhancers, or any other additives in our candles and melts. Simply wax + fragrance oils. Nothing else. A well-made candle doesn't need anything else.
None. Our everyday candles are undyed to reflect the delicate beauty of simple, pure, clean wax. During special occasions and holidays, the desire may arise for something a little more festive. In those instances, only eco-friendly, naturally derived colors will be used. If nature didn't create the color, it won't be found in our candles. Ever. If the color isn't biodegradable and safe for every living being on this planet, it won't be used by us. Ever.
MEET CARLIE
My love for all things crafty, vintage, and rustic began as a child growing up on a 100-year-old farm on Swan's Trail Road in Snohomish, Washington. A childhood full of cherished memories, things that take you back to simpler times.
As adults it’s easy to lose sight of those memories, those reminders of happy and carefree times. I sought out on a mission to bring them back for myself, my family, and now for you.
"Scent is a powerful sense and has the ability to transport you through time and place."
I’m a wife, a mother to 3, an entrepreneur, and farm girl. I'm a registered nurse and a craft junkie. I love all things homemade and handmade.
I focused my desire to help people and serve my community by creating Swan's Trail Road.
Working from home is a dream of many and I feel blessed that I am able to make it a reality. ♥
“What distinguishes a candle from other light is that it appeals to our soul, not our eyes."
our fragrances: we only use fragrance oils that are free of phthalates, carcinogens, and all acute toxins and do not contain any prop-65 ingredients. They are luxurious blends of clean fragrance and essential oils, many of which I custom blend myself so you'll only find them here!
our waxes: while we primarily use soy wax, we occasionally use a proprietary blend of soy and coconut apricot wax. It's a blend I've worked on for the last few years and lends to a beautiful, smooth candle, a long burn time, and great fragrance throw whether the candle is lit or not.
our vessels: There are so many candle companies out there and they all shop from the same suppliers, myself included. I set out on a mission to be different. I wanted to provide candles in vessels that aren't seen everywhere else. Different colors and styles set ours apart. Neutral enough to go with your decor but unique enough to want to keep when the candle is burned out and use for something else.
