A Shady Desire

A Shady Desire is a New Jersey based candle company owned and operated by Connie Snyder, a wife, mother, and nurse. 

After coming home from a long day of work, a clean burning candle was always relaxing. Only, the candles weren't as clean as we thought.

Big name brand candles, made with paraffin wax and other toxic chemicals were burning in our home and a possible cause of our daughter's asthma exacerbation. 

My Desire to create something healthy for myself and my family turned into a full fledged entrepreneurial journey. I just wanted to burn candles at home without jeopardizing our health. Now, I have a full business created with love. 

A Shady Desire hopes to build a reputation for designing products of the finest quality. We pride ourselves on using all natural vegan coconut wax, a long burning healthy alternative to toxic paraffin wax with phthalate-free fragrance oils, and cotton core wicks.

All of our products are created, hand poured, tested, packaged, and shipped right out of our New Jersey home.
