About Us
My name is Maria, and I make all the products at LFM Candle Co right here in my home, in sunny Sarasota, Florida, sometimes with the help of my toddler, and my husband, a fellow entrepreneur and inspiration. The hand-poured candles at Love for May are more than just a source of light and fragrance; they're a labor of love. Each candle is carefully crafted using all natural coconut soy wax and phthalate-free fragrance oils, ensuring a clean, long-lasting burn that fills your space with a delightful aroma.
From the selection of wicks to the pouring of wax, I pay meticulous attention to detail, resulting in candles that not only illuminate your surroundings but also create an atmosphere of warmth and tranquility. The affirmations on the candles are a result of my own personal and professional journey, learning about the importance of self-compassion, and positive focus. Tell the story about yourself and your life that you want to experience, and watch it unfold.
Health, both psychological and physical, has always been a top priority for me, which is why I ensure that all fragrances used in any of my products, are the cleanest I can find. No product at LFM Candle Co will contain reproductive toxins, carcinogens, acute toxins, organ toxins, or mutagens.
I often work with private and corporate clients to develop customized products. Check out the wholesale page to learn more. And never hesitate to contact me with any questions. I love connecting with people who love candles as much as I do!

FAQ
Are the candles Prop 65 compliant?
Yes, they are Prop 65 compliant, vegan, and phthalate-free. I only use fragrances that are completely free from any major toxin that would be considered a health hazard to humans.
Are the candles free from parabens?
Parabens are water soluble, so you won't find them in any candles or wax melts. You will also never find them in any other LFM products.
What organizations do you donate to, and how much has been donated?
For every 7oz candle sold on the website or at markets (excluding wholesale), $1 is donated to organizations fighting human trafficking. We donate to both international organizations, such as International Justice Mission, and local Florida organizations, such as Selah Freedom. As of June 2025, a total of $374 has been donated.
