About Me

Hi everyone, my name is Melissa, and I own Barton Beeswax Candles. I have lived in Belchertown for 20 years. I have worked in the education field for over 16 years, 13 years in Early Intervention. Our family has moved towards embracing more natural products in our home. It is important for us to find products that are healthy, free of toxins, sustainable, eco-friendly. We have made changes to cleaning products, skincare, and foods we eat. Since becoming more conscious of what we are putting in and, on our body, it is also important to know what we are putting into the air of our home. As an avid candle enthusiast, I sought to create a cleaner alternative to traditional candles. This led me to develop beeswax candles with natural fragrances.

My husband is my greatest supporter and often find him at many vendor events. As a parent of six children, ranging from 4 to 20 years old, and a pet owner of three giant dogs and two cats, I understand the importance of prioritizing toxin-free, eco-friendly, sustainable, and safe products for my loved ones. There are many wonderful benefits to burning candles. They are mood lifting, stress and anxiety reducing, aesthetically pleasing, create a peaceful ambience, and make a home overall more inviting. Beeswax offers numerous benefits, including a longer burn time and air-purifying properties. By releasing negative ions, beeswax candles can neutralize pollutants like dust, mold, and mildew, making them particularly beneficial for individuals with asthma or allergies. I'm so happy to share these candles with you and hope they bring warmth and serenity to your home.
