Handcrafted with Heart: How Jessamine Creations is Lighting Up Homes and Empowering a Community
Illuminate Your Space
Beautiful candles that enhance your home
while respecting the planet
There’s something special about lighting a candle. It sets a mood, soothes your spirit, and fills your space with warmth. But what if your candle could do even more like support a dream, uplift a community, and bring love into your home?
That’s exactly what Jessamine Creations is all about.
Founded in 2024 by Jessica Carmona, this Philadelphia-based small business is already turning heads with its beautiful, handcrafted soy wax candles and melts. But Jessamine Creations is more than just a candle company—it’s a story of artistry, intention, and empowerment.
A Candle with a Purpose
Jessica Carmona started Jessamine Creations with a simple but powerful goal: to create something beautiful that brings joy and comfort to people’s homes. From her studio in Philadelphia, she hand-pours every candle and wax
melt using 100% soy wax and premium fragrances. Many are decorated with delicate dried flowers, heart shapes, and even roses each design a reflection of the love and care that goes into every product.
“Every candle carries a bit of love and intention,” Jessica says.
In just eight months, she’s already built a loyal customer base who rave about her products not just for how they look, but how they smell and feel.

She’s received messages of support from friends and community members alike:
