Inspired by Nature

Interior Designer and hobbyist, Peyton Armstrong founded Juniper & Slate Candle Co. in 2024 with her refreshingly directional, natural, and intentional approach to creating non-toxic candles out of her home. It was a dream of hers to create candles that inspire joy, relaxation, and beauty in everyday moments.

Juniper & Slate Candle Co. is a curated collection of elevated and nature-inspired scents poured into a mix of vintage and modern candle containers. Each candle is hand-poured with natural essential oils and soy wax to ensure they are crafted with intentionality.


Made in Carlsbad, CA

Juniper & Slate Candle Co. is a brand inspired by the natural beauty of the world around us. The name "Juniper & Slate" reflects both the earthy and textured elements that influence my candle scents. Juniper, a resilient evergreen shrub, evokes a sense of freshness, grounding, and serenity, while Slate, with its rugged, smooth texture, speaks to the raw, timeless beauty of the earth. Together, these two elements capture the balance between nature’s elegance and its strength. Each candle I create is infused with scents inspired by the outdoors, designed to bring the calming and invigorating essence of nature into your home. At Juniper & Slate, I believe in the power of nature to soothe and inspire, and my candles are crafted to help you reconnect with that peaceful, natural rhythm.
