The Story Behind Hekiti Candle

Meet Fransheska Peña, the heart and hands behind Hekiti Candle, LLC. Born of Dominican and Puerto Rican heritage, her artistry is deeply inspired by the vibrant traditions and ancestral wisdom of the Caribbean. Hekiti Candle was created during the stillness of 2020 in Guam, nurtured in New Orleans, and now thrives in the beautiful state of Hawai‘i. Each place we've called home has shaped who we are and what we create.

Our candles are hand-poured with purpose—using clean ingredients, cultural storytelling, and a whole lot of heart. We're especially passionate about our pop-up shops, where we get to meet you face-to-face, hear your stories, and share a piece of ours. We also craft wedding favors that double as beautiful keepsakes, designed to carry the magic of your day long after the last dance. What we’re building isn’t just a candle business; it’s a celebration of heritage, a way to stay connected to where we come from, no matter where life takes us.
