Our Founder
Hi, I’m Sydney Bolin! A few years ago, I found myself in a conundrum while moonlighting to try and launch a marketing business. But after a long day at my desk, the last thing I wanted to do was sit there longer. That’s when I stumbled upon candle making. I didn’t expect it to be as refreshing as it was. It allowed me to be creative and, most importantly, to step away from my desk. The calm and satisfaction I felt while pouring candles was a game-changer.
After a year of kicking around the idea, I blended my love for candle-pouring, creativity, and marketing into a single venture. And thus, my candle company was born. I named it 18th Avenue, inspired by my street, because it has a nice ring to it, and if I ever move, it’ll make for a good story.
What sets my candles apart is my commitment to transparency and allergen awareness. Struggling with fragrance allergens myself, I understand the frustration of hidden ingredients. I do my best to screen fragrances for common allergens so everyone can enjoy a lovely scent without worry. My background and personal experiences have deeply influenced my approach, and my long-term goal is to continue learning about fragrance allergens and expanding the list of allergens I screen for, ensuring that my candles are safe for as many people as possible.
