About Us

Hi, I’m Jessica Simon, founder of Mississippi Candle Company!

If you had told me a few years ago that a hobby I started in my kitchen would grow into a nationally recognized brand with a team of incredible employees, a growing warehouse, and invitations to speak at TikTok headquarters, I probably wouldn’t have believed you.

Like many small business owners, I started with a simple dream: to create products I was proud to bring into my own home. What began as hand-pouring products in our kitchen quickly turned into late nights, early mornings, and countless lessons in entrepreneurship. There were seasons of uncertainty, inventory shortages, financial risks, and more challenges than I can count, but there was also an overwhelming amount of support from customers who believed in our vision.

Today, Mississippi Candle Company has grown far beyond what my husband Josh and I ever imagined. What was once a kitchen operation is now a thriving business supported by an incredible team of hardworking individuals who help bring our products to homes across the country every single day.

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to creating products that are thoughtfully formulated, beautifully fragranced, and made with ingredients we feel good about using around our own families. We believe that a clean home should feel welcoming, comforting, and safe without relying on harsh chemicals or unnecessary ingredients.

While our company has grown, one thing hasn’t changed: I’m still the same small-town woman who loves sharing our journey online, connecting with customers, and showing the real side of building a business. The successes are exciting, but it’s the people behind them that matter most, our team, our customers, our affiliates, and the community that has supported us from the very beginning.

Every order packed, every product poured, and every milestone reached is a reminder that this dream was never built by one person alone.

Thank you for being part of our story.
xoxo, The Simon Family
