OUR STORY

In 2017, Jason and I went on an anniversary trip to Waco Texas for the Silobration at Chip and Jo’s Magnolia. (Highly recommend if you haven’t been.) I went from vendor to vendor and I was so inspired by their craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each small business owner was so proud and joyful in their booth. Jason and I talked the whole flight home as we dreamed about a business I could share with our community and use our love for making and hosting to grow a business. I already had a small jewelry business so we adapted that name until three years later we found our sweet spot with RiverHome.

It all began with the goal to make the cleanest, strongest smelling candle possible, while staying in an affordable price range. We found soy wax burned the cleanest, and was the most eco-friendly as a sustainable, renewable resource. Then we found cotton wicks that burned without toxins or additives. Finally we searched the whole nation for the cleanest fragrances, that are pthalate-fee, paraben-free, and contain none of the California Prop 65 “Dirty” ingredients. Together these ingredients make, what we think, is the cleanest, biggest, strongest, most affordable candle. Watch us grow as we use what we have learned to more home products!

I get it! It’s so hard to commit to a scent if you have never smelled it. I do my best to describe each scent, and really use words to “paint the scene” for you. Still, sometimes smelling is believing! Currently we are located in 7 boutiques in the North Florida area, and growing! Please go to your favorite local boutique, and if we aren’t there, ask them to carry RiverHome by using the wholesale inquiry side of our page!

We also frequent markets and other local pop-up events. You can click on the events page above to see if we are going to be at a market near you soon!

Essential oils are a great tool for wholistic health and amazing to treat ailments for family members in your home. However, the sole use of essential oils in candles makes a bland, weak scent blend and can be hazardous as highly concentrated essential oils are volatilly flammable. We add CLEAN fragrance oils to our essential oil blends to safely intensify the aroma of each product.

Every single fragrance oil we offer is formulated without phthalates and made without ingredients found on California’s Proposition 65 list.

But fragrances with the Clean Scents™ designation go one step further by also avoiding these 5 main hazard groups.

✖ Carcinogens: These are materials known or thought to cause cancer. 

✖ Mutagens: Materials that change the DNA of a cell, harming the cell and causing diseases like cancer. 

✖ Reproductive toxins: Toxins that adversely affect reproductive organs and increase the risk of birth defects. 

✖ Organ toxins: These are toxins that can cause adverse effects or disease within specific bodily organs. 

✖ Acute toxins: Toxins that can cause adverse effects from a single exposure. Generally, this would be accidental exposure like spillage or ingestion.
