Meet The Maker

Hi! My name is Darla and I'm the owner and creator at Starlight Essentials (formerly Starlight Soap & Candles).

Starlight Essentials: Where Passion Meets Science

Starlight Essentials is the culmination of a passion for fragrance and meticulous craftsmanship. As the owner and creator, Darla, I embarked on this journey over five years ago, transforming a love for creating beautiful soaps and candles into a thriving small business.

From Hobby to Expertise

What began as a side hustle quickly blossomed into a dedication to the science of soap and candle-making along with luxurious bath & body products. My analytical side reveled in the research and formulation process, constantly seeking to improve and perfect each product. This commitment to lifelong learning through continued education ensures Starlight Essentials remains at the forefront of the industry.

The Art of Formulation

While some products come together with a spark of inspiration, others require meticulous development and testing. This trial-and-error process, sometimes spanning over a year, is where true innovation happens. It's through this dedication that we craft richly scented, luxurious products that add a touch of whimsy to everyday moments.

Unwavering Commitment to Quality

At Starlight Essentials, we are uncompromising in the ingredients we choose. We meticulously curate a collection of exquisite fragrances and safe, effective components. We prioritize clean, natural, and ethically sourced ingredients whenever possible, ensuring a product that is kind to your skin and the environment.

Enhancing Your Well-being

Our handcrafted soaps and candles are designed to enhance your home and well-being. We believe the luxurious lather of our soaps and the captivating fragrance of our candles have the power to transform your everyday rituals.
