About Us
Crafted for the wild at heart.
Born from the lifelong love of an Eagle Scout and inspired by the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt himself, The Roosevelts Candle Co. is our tribute to the great outdoors, the national parks that ground us, and the memories made in places that take your breath away. Founded by us—Jason and Katie Kloess—right here in Nashville, Tennessee, our mission is simple: to bring the outside in, one clean-burning candle at a time.
Every candle we make is a love letter to the places that shaped us—whether it’s the nostalgic scent of a city you once wandered or the awe of standing in a vast, untouched wilderness. We’re raising our daughter Callahan to love these places too (alongside our very good boy, Maximus), and we’re building this business with family, integrity, and the planet in mind.
Clean Craftsmanship
We use only the cleanest ingredients: soy, coconut, and beeswax blends, phthalate-free and paraben-free fragrances, and cotton wicks free of lead and zinc. No shortcuts. No toxins. Just honest craftsmanship.
Our Promise to the Planet
We believe that if you love a place, you have a responsibility to protect it.
That’s why sustainability is at the core of everything we do:
1% For The Planet: We are proud members of 1% for the Planet. This means we commit to donating at least 1% of our annual sales to environmental nonprofits. Every time you purchase a candle, you’re directly funding the organizations fighting to keep our National Parks pristine and protected. Learn More
One Candle = One Tree: Our promise goes deeper. We’ve partnered with One Tree Planted to take direct action on the ground. For every single candle you purchase, we fund the planting of one new tree. It’s our way of helping restore forests, provide habitat for wildlife, and fight climate change—one pour at a time. Learn More
Preserving these wild places isn’t just our passion—it’s our promise. From our home to yours, thank you for helping us make a difference.
