Our Mission

At Budayaan, we craft sustainable, handmade candles inspired by cultural destinations and cherished memories. Our brand is born from a deep appreciation of diverse cultures and a desire to connect people through the power of scent. Each candle tells a story, evoking feelings of nostalgia, warmth, and connection to places both near and far.

Our mission is to create candles that celebrate the beauty of culture and heritage while prioritizing sustainability and ethical practices. As someone with roots in both Indonesian and Antillean cultures, and raised amidst the rich diversity of Amsterdam, I believe in embracing the uniqueness of different traditions. This fuels my passion for crafting high-quality, eco-friendly candles that embody the essence of the places and experiences that have shaped my journey.

We are committed to using natural coconut wax, premium fragrance oils, and ethically sourced ingredients to create a long-lasting, eco-conscious sensory experience. Almost all off our candles are designed to be safe for pets, pregnant women, and babies, allowing you to enjoy the warmth of home while knowing that every detail has been thoughtfully considered.

Through our candles, we aim to transport you to the vibrant streets of far-off cities, the comfort of family traditions, and the serenity of peaceful moments. Join us on this journey of cultural discovery, and let our candles illuminate your space with stories from around the world.
