OUR STORY
Here’s to dreamy days and cozy, candlelit nights.
Our Story
We are Unearth Candle Studio. Our mission is simple: to create home fragrance products with captivating scents, beautiful minimalist design, and the best ingredients. Essentially, everything we love about luxury home fragrance, but at accessible prices. Our dreamy scents are inspired by nature and travel, moments and memories.
For our candles, we use 100% soy wax derived from American-grown soy beans for an eco-friendly, clean burn and lead-free cotton wicks.
All of our products are petroleum-free, cruelty-free, phthalate-free, and 100% vegan. Each of our products is poured and labeled by hand by our in-house team of artisans.
We produce our products out of a 10,000 square foot workshop in EL-Zamalek, a hub of makers, designers, artists, and small businesses. All of our employees earn fair wages and benefits: paid time off and subsidized healthcare, dental, and vision.
We like to think of our wares as full sensory experiences—from the artful minimal packaging to the warm candlelight and delicate aromas that fill a room. So, go ahead, light one up.
About Our Founder
Mariam Sherif is a fragrance obsessive and a designer who founded Unearth Candle Studio in 2020. Mariam hails from Cairo and studied business information system at the University of Helwan. Creatively unfulfilled after subsequent jobs in the finance and technology fields, she enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology in 20017 to study graphic design. Armed with nothing more than a kit from a local craft store, she began making candles as gifts for friends and family in 2018 and soon became deeply immersed in aromatherapy and candle-making. She now spends her days working on creative, marketing, and product development for Unearth Candle Studio, shooting campaigns, and practicing some sort of art form (current passions are woodworking and painting).
