The Samantha Rose Candle Company was created in 2020 by Mackenzie Ofordire to honor and continue the legacy of her daughter Samantha Rose, who is in heaven due to a late term pregnancy loss.
Wanting to learn more about maternal health issues, Mackenzie began doing research and learned that 1 in 4 women will experience a pregnancy loss whether during pregnancy, delivery or infancy. She also learned about a multitude of health issues that affect women and their families during pre-conception, pregnancy and postpartum.
As a way to cope during the isolating global pandemic, Mackenzie began making candles. She thought these candles would not only bring comfort to herself but also to others. She began sharing them with friends and co-workers who enjoyed them! Wanting to make a difference and seeing how much people enjoyed her candles, the Samantha Rose Candle Company was born.
Our company’s mission is to bring awareness to maternal health issues and donate a percentage of the profits to organizations that support these causes.
