About Georgia Belle Candle Co.

Rooted in the South. Poured with Purpose.

Some places get into your soul the salt air rolling off the marsh, the way Spanish moss catches the afternoon light, the quiet magic of a coastal morning. For me, those places aren't just inspiration. They're the foundation of everything I've built.

Hi, I'm Andrea McNair  founder, maker, and the heart behind Georgia Belle Candle Co. Georgia Belle is inspired by my African American heritage and a deep appreciation for the Southern coast. Each handcrafted fragrance reflects the warmth, hospitality, history, and cultural traditions that have shaped these communities for generations.

My story didn't start with a business plan. It started with a candle and a need to breathe.

Where It All Began

Over six years ago, candle making found me the way the best things do quietly, and right when I needed it most. What began as therapy, a way to slow down and find calm in the chaos, became a hobby I couldn't put down. And that hobby became Georgia Belle.

I started in the Lowcountry of Charleston, SC, where the tidal creeks, barrier islands, and salt-heavy air shaped not just my surroundings but my sense of self. That love of place followed me to South Georgia, where I now hand-pour every product from my studio  carrying the spirit of the Lowcountry with me wherever I go. Every scent I create is a love letter to these regions  to the ancestry, the culture, and the beauty rooted in this corner of the world.

More Than a Candle Company

Georgia Belle has always been about more than what's in the jar. From the beginning, my vision was to create a brand that helps you feel at home  in your space and in yourself.

What started with hand-poured soy candles has grown into a full lifestyle brand:

• Candles — small-batch, hand-poured with premium soy wax and phthalate-free fragrances
• Body Care — natural skincare crafted with thoughtful ingredients, kind to your skin and honest about what's in them
• Home Decor (coming soon) — curated pieces to help you complete and elevate your space

Because your home should feel like you — beautiful, intentional, and full of warmth.

Why Clean Ingredients Matter to Me

I believe what you bring into your home should be as good for you as it is beautiful. That's why I choose:

• Soy wax — cleaner-burning and renewable, for a longer, more even burn
• Phthalate-free fragrances — carefully selected scents, free from chemicals linked to health concerns
• Natural skincare ingredients — nourishing formulas without unnecessary additives

No shortcuts. No compromises. Just products made the way I'd want them made for my own home.

The Names Tell the Story

When you light a Folly Driftwood candle or step into the shower with a Lowcountry Shower Steamer, you're taking a moment in a place I love. The Savannah Marble Collection captures the elegance of Georgia's most storied city. Tybee Sunrise is that perfect golden first light over the Atlantic bottled.

Every name is a place. Every scent is a memory. Every product is a piece of the South, made to live in your home.

Built by One. Made for Many.

I'm a one-woman studio, and I wear that proudly. When you shop Georgia Belle, you're supporting a real maker who pours, labels, and ships every order with intention and gratitude.

This brand was built on healing, on hustle, and on an unshakeable connection to Southern roots and the ancestry of these places. I'm so glad you're here to be a part of it.

Thank you for choosing Georgia Belle.
