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.
Our core values guide everything we do
Our Values
At TENJANUARY, we are rooted in meaningful living, emotional well-being, and intentionality.
Gratitude
Our guiding principle—each candle is an invitation to pause, reflect, and appreciate life’s simple joys.

Every flame symbolizes warmth and resilience, a reminder that even in darkness, light can be found.

We believe in the power of mindfulness and daily rituals. Our hope is that our candles will create moments of stillness and serenity.

Quality
Crafted with pure essential oils and hand-poured in small batches, our candles embody luxury and care. We partner with reliable suppliers who share our values. Our processes are aligned with industry safety requirements.
Intentionality
Designed for longevity, our refillable vessels and plastic-free packaging reflect our commitment to conscious living—because believe that true luxury is thoughtful and enduring.
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.
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 our local suppliers, who share our values.
Thoughtful Packaging & Reusability
Our commitment to intentionality 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
As we grow, we will continue to assess and evolve our practices, ensuring that every step we take aligns with our core values. Our journey is one of constant reflection and refinement, as we strive to balance luxury with responsibility, always honoring the beauty of thoughtful choices.
