ABOUT US

QUÉMALO STUDIO

We are a proudly Black & Latino, queer-owned candle studio based in Los Angeles, California. We embrace environmental consciousness and aim to create unique and eclectic scents inspired by nature. Our candles are hand-poured and meticulously crafted in our studio, to maintain quality and reduce our environmental impact. We are committed to environmental responsibility and strive to minimize our impact on the planet, one candle at a time. Every element of Quémalo is designed & crafted in-house, as we are independently owned and operated.

Our journey began with a passion for candles, and a persistent commitment to create a more holistic and healthy environment in our home. Driven by our desire to reduce toxins in our own living space while indulging in captivating scents, we founded Quémalo.

Quémalo is more than just a candle studio, it is a labor of love dedicated to elevating the ambiance of your home with unique and eclectic scents, while prioritizing your health, well-being and the environment.

Quémalo celebrates the rich cultural heritage and diverse experiences of its founders, Rodney & James. Our candles serve as a homage to the vibrant Black & Colombian traditions, flavors, and aromas that have shaped our lives.

We invite you to join us in our commitment to illuminate your world with our cleaner burning, luxurious, and unique creations. Thank you so much for supporting our small business.
