About AUTHENTIC - A Candle Co.

When it came time to make holiday gifts for friends, teachers, and acquaintances, Shannon Gallo always turned to her favorite hobby: candle making. Her passion for handcrafted candles eventually inspired her to turn a hobby into a business—a business that rapidly outgrew its confines in her home's kitchen, dining room, and garage. Shannon now prepares artisanal candles within a 1,500-square-foot, BYOB-friendly, farmhouse-style facility, although her techniques haven't changed. The team continues to hand-pour every batch of soy and paraffin wax into hand-decorated mason jars and metal tins, crafting candles with fragrances that range from classic vanilla bean to exotic pineapple-cilantro.
