About Us
Welcome to Juniper Beach Candle Co.! I’m Alyssa Stirpe, the founder and creator behind our eco-friendly, beach-inspired candles.
My love for the Washington Coast began in childhood, spending summers at my family’s beach cabin on Juniper Beach—a hidden oasis where the tides, salty breeze, and serene landscapes shaped my deep appreciation for nature. Those cherished memories now inspire each hand-poured candle, designed to bring the tranquility of the shoreline into your home.
With a background as a registered nurse, I’ve always prioritized health and well-being. After becoming a stay-at-home mom to my two wonderful sons, I sought a creative outlet that aligned with my values. This passion led me to create sustainable, clean-burning candles, crafted with eco-friendly ingredients for a healthier home and planet.
Thank you for being part of this journey—I can’t wait for you to experience the warmth and serenity of Juniper Beach Candle Co. in your space!
Hemp Wicks
Burn Quality
Hemp wicks provide a clean, steady, and even burn, ensuring a consistent and long-lasting flame. Now coated with premium, undyed organic rice bran wax, they gain enhanced stability and a protective layer that optimizes performance while maintaining their all-natural composition.
Sustainability
Hemp is one of the most sustainable crops available, requiring far less water and fewer pesticides than cotton. Its rapid growth and minimal environmental impact make it an excellent choice for eco-conscious wicking solutions.
Cleaner Combustion
When properly trimmed and maintained, hemp wicks produce significantly less soot than traditional cotton wicks. This results in less residue buildup on candle containers and surrounding surfaces, fostering a cleaner and healthier burning environment.
Strength and Durability
Renowned for its naturally strong and resilient fibers, hemp provides wicks with exceptional durability. This ensures a long-lasting, reliable burn throughout the candle’s lifespan.
Natural Purity
Hemp possesses inherent antibacterial and antifungal properties, contributing to the overall cleanliness and integrity of the candle’s burn.
Eco-Friendly Disposal
Unlike synthetic alternatives, hemp wicks are fully biodegradable, breaking down naturally at the end of their life cycle—leaving behind no harmful waste.
Candle Labels

Candle Labels
Our hemp labels are made from recycled materials and processed without chlorine, making them a truly eco-conscious choice. Designed for both durability and sustainability, they are freezer- and microwave-safe while featuring an elegant, textured finish that adds a touch of sophistication to our candles.
When you're ready to repurpose your jar, simply soak it in warm, soapy water for a few minutes to loosen the label, then gently peel it off. Any remaining adhesive can be removed with a bit of baking soda and oil, leaving your jar clean and ready for its next life.
A perfect blend of style, sustainability, and practicality.

Our packaging reflects our deep commitment to sustainability. We use kraft paper boxes and crinkle paper, thoughtfully crafted from recycled materials to help preserve forests and reduce landfill waste. Naturally biodegradable and compostable, kraft paper returns to the earth without harm, while its lightweight nature minimizes transportation emissions.
To secure each candle box, we use rustic burlap twine—an eco-friendly, plastic-free alternative that adds both charm and sustainability to our packaging. By choosing these conscious materials, we create packaging that not only protects your products but also nurtures the planet—one thoughtful choice at a time.
