A lifestyle of gratitude and reflection

Our Mission

At TENJANUARY, our mission is to create more than just candles - we hope to bring moments of light, hope, and self-care. Our candles are a heartfelt tribute from a mother and daughter duo, created to honor the memory of a beloved family member. Through the flicker of a flame we celebrate the power of rituals, connection, and intentional living.

Each fragrance tells a story, and each flame ignites a ritual. Whether it’s a celebration, a quiet reflection, a moment of prayer, or an evening of relaxation. Our hope is that our candles will become beacons of peace and gratitude in the spaces they illuminate.

TENJANUARY is an invitation to embrace a lifestyle of gratitude and reflection.

A Light That Gives Back

Our Commitment

TENJANUARY is more than a candle brand—it’s a reflection of intention, gratitude, and giving. We donate 5% from sales, to local charities dedicated to addressing mental health in underserved communities in Cape Town.

Every flame represents more than light - it extends kindness beyond the home, fostering hope and connection where it’s needed most.

Contributing to a more mindful and responsible world

Crafted with Purpose

Purposeful Ingredients & Materials

Our candles are made from pure soy wax, chosen for its clean burn. Our wicks are made from natural cotton for a clean and steady flame. We carefully select local suppliers who share our values.

Thoughtful Packaging & Reusability

Our commitment to intentional living extends beyond the candle itself. We do not use plastic in our packaging, opting instead for materials that can be recycled. Our vessels can be refilled, allowing them to be used again and again.

Candle refills are available and crafted with the highest quality for a luxurious experience. They allow you to continue enjoying your favorite scent with ease and comfort.

Giving Back with Every Candle

Every flame extends kindness beyond the home. A portion of each purchase supports a local charity, allowing us to give back to the community that inspires us. Your candle is more than just a source of light - it’s a contribution to something greater.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Our journey is one of constant reflection and refinement  as we strive to balance luxury and beauty with responsibility. We are committed to keep assessing and improving our practices where so required to stay in line with our core values.
