Our Story

For The Love of a Cozy Home

Cato&Co Candles was founded in 2020 in a tiny kitchen with just a few materials and a desire to create a good candle.

We firmly believe that you can't make a good product from bad ingredients. That's why we use only high quality materials - from our variety of vessels to the pure soy wax flakes to the phthalate free oils, everything has been thoughtfully and ethically sourced. If we wouldn't use it in our own homes, we're not going to put it in yours.

We are based in Greenville, South Carolina and love being a part of the small business community here!

Find Your New Favorite Candle

So Nice To Meet You!

Hi! I'm Lauren Cato - the maker behind Cato&Co Candles. I'm passionate about creating a home that is cozy, comfortable, and welcoming. Candles are just a small part of that but one of my favorites!

I graduated from Clemson University in 2015 (Go Tigers!) and now live in Greenville, South Carolina with my husband and my golden retriever, Sophie. In the time that I'm not working on Cato&Co things, I love to travel and explore new places, read, and soak up whatever warmth and sunshine I can.

I absolutely love getting to create for a living. Thank you so much for supporting small businesses and supporting my dream come true!

Say Hi!
