The Candle

One scent. The island.

We make one candle and we make it right — poured into a real coconut shell we harvested and prepared ourselves, with apricot-soy wax and our own home-made coconut oil.

Our one and only scent: an exotic coconut that's clean and never too musky — the smell that puts you right back on the island. You'll notice it before you light it, it fills the room once you do, and it stays strong after you blow it out.

Our Story

From the side of the road to the center of your table

We're a Key West couple who saw something special in what everyone else was throwing away. After the palms get trimmed, the coconuts end up on the curb as yard waste — so we go through the trimmings, collect them by hand, and turn them into candles and centerpieces.

Every Salt & Husk candle is a real island coconut, worked by hand from start to finish. We pay attention to every detail, which is why no two are ever the same.

Why it matters to me

I live with multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease in which the immune system attacks the brain and spinal cord. It's different for everyone, and much of it can't be seen from the outside.

Making these candles by hand helps me. Gathering, shucking and pouring keep my joints moving, help fight muscle atrophy, and help me hold on to the control in my hands that MS tries to take away.

I share this to help more people understand MS. My hope is to one day give back by raising money for MS research and for people living with the disease, starting here in the Keys.
