About the founder.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Welcome to The Alchemist Studio!

I’m Ruta, the founder, and I created this brand during a pivotal journey of self-love and personal growth. In my early 20s, I often neglected my own well-being, but as I approach my 30s, I’ve learned the profound importance of nurturing my body, mind, and soul. The vision for The Alchemist Studio was born from this realization: to create luxury, handcrafted candles that inspire others to embrace self-care and mindfulness in their daily routines.

Growing up in a small European town where we lived simply, I’ve always been inspired by minimalism and the beauty of craftsmanship. Everything was made with care, using natural, high-quality ingredients. Today, I carry that tradition into my candle-making. Each candle I create is made with love, using non-toxic, natural ingredients, to help you cultivate moments of peace, reflection, and joy in your home. Whether you're relaxing in a bath, meditating, or simply unwinding after a long day, our candles are designed to enhance your self-care rituals.

At the heart of The Alchemist Studio is a deep commitment to creating products that align with simple living and clean, sustainable practices. My passion for sustainability is inspired by the handmade traditions I grew up with, where less was more, and everything was cherished. I aim to bring that sense of mindfulness into each product, so you can feel confident knowing that our candles support both your well-being and the health of our planet.

I hope that with every candle you light, you feel the love and care that goes into it. Thank you for joining me on this journey toward creating a more thoughtful, intentional life—one candle at a time.

xoxo, Ruta.
