Our Story

Created in the home of co-founders, Christina and Kenan, stay fresh co. launched in the fall of 2019. It all started when Christina (a licensed esthetician) and Kenan (an educator/musician) began experimenting with different types of waxes, wicks, jars, tins/containers and a variety of hand-crafted fragrance blends before designing their first scent - kumquat + bergamot. 

“Our lifestyle is naturally ‘very green’, and it was important that our products align with our beliefs and values. The goal was simple: use uniquely curated one-of-a-kind scents and responsibly-sourced supplies to create an aesthetically pleasing candle.”

From production to delivery, sustainability and resource renewability are things we are mindful of during the entire candle-making process.

It’s not always easy for small business owners, but we are firmly committed to reducing our carbon footprint at every step.

Orders are shipped in packing materials and boxes that are recycled, recyclable, and/or biodegradable.

“Combining our creative passions, with a genuine interest in product design and backgrounds in customer service & retail, we developed an environmentally friendly candle with a clean yet simple and modern design that would fit perfectly in any home, studio or creative/office space.”
