The Founder’s Story:
A Light from Within
Hello, My name is Ashley Ruff , the founder and creator of Alight Scented Home.
This brand began as my escape a healing space born out of postpartum and the chaos of COVID. During a time that felt heavy and uncertain, I turned to creativity as therapy. Melting, mixing, and pouring candles that reflected the peace I was searching for.
What started as a personal passion project quickly became a form of restoration. It pulled me out of a toxic environment and reminded me that beauty can bloom from rebuilding one candle, one scent, one spark at a time.
As I began researching ingredients, I realized how many “luxury” candles were filled with harmful toxins. That’s when my mission became clear: to create clean, natural products that promote well-being not just good smells.
Alight Scented Home became my way of shining light back into the world a brand built on healing, creativity, and purpose.
Today, I pour each creation with that same intention to remind others that no matter how dark a season feels, there’s always a light waiting to be rekindled.
