Hey Friends! My name is Affton, founder of Broken Top Candle Company. If we were to meet in person I would tell you the following... I am a mother of three, I LOVE tacos, paddle boarding, getting up early to hit the gym, and spending as much time with my family and friends as humanly possible.The flame (pun intended!) behind the launch of Broken Top began (circa 2015) in my tiny kitchen in Bend, Oregon, and has ignited (yes, another pun-- we have LOTS around here) over the last few years. With the passion behind family values, I brought my Dad on as my production guru back in late 2016, and together along with our amazing team, we have taken the company beyond that tiny kitchen to our now 10,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Bend, Oregon.I believe that sustainable, eco-conscious products should be affordable, yet luxurious and healthy to fit into my family's lifestyle. That's why all of our hand-made home goods and body products are free of parabens and phthalates. They are also gluten-free, cruelty-free, and vegan.Thanks to all who have supported my mission and vision through the growth. It is a pleasure to be a part of you and your family's lives.The Brand: Broken Top Candle Company is a lifestyle brand of affordable luxury. Founded in 2015 as a candle company, we have grown past our name, offering an array of home and personal care products including candles, linen sprays, lotions, soaps, sanitizers, diffusers, and perfumes. Every scent in our collection has been developed to have its own unique expression; notes blended from a personal catalog of family traditions, then evolved and expressed in modern context. Both familiar and unexpected. Broken Top Candle Company hails from the Pacific Northwest and provides the ultimate gifting experience. All of our products are gluten free, paraben free, phthalate free, and vegan, loved by men and women alike.Our giveback: We're very passionate about the planet here at Broken Top, and living in Bend, Oregon Feeds our love for the outdoors. We're working to spread our passion and see what we can do to reduce our impact on the planet.This year, we took the leap to join 1% for the Planet and made the commitment to give back 1% of our total annual revenue to the environment. Although we're still growing as a business, we feel it's important to give whatever we can back to the planet.We also joined 1% for the Planet because we believe businesses should be accountable to an "earth tax" and 1% for the Planet to oversee that process.
