Mississippi Candle Company

Mississippi Candle Company is a handcrafted home fragrance manufacturer founded in 2018 by Jessica Simon, specializing in affordable candles, luxury laundry detergent, and linen sprays. What began as a hobby in 2018 launched as an online business in 2019 with encouragement from Jessica's husband, Josh. After quitting her corporate job in 2020 with just 14 wholesale accounts, Jessica built the business from the ground up, now serving over 200 small and large retailers across the United States.

The company reflects Coastal Southern culture, originally founded in Gulfport, Mississippi, and now made in Foley, Alabama. Mississippi Candle Co. creates high-quality products made with clean ingredients—fragrance oils that are pet-safe and free of reproductive and cancer-causing toxins. The brand was voted Best Candle Company on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in both 2022 and 2023. Jessica remains the sole owner and operator, maintaining the company's commitment to affordability, quality, and Southern-inspired home fragrance.
