Sonya Dixon Illuminates Wellness and Self-Care Through Scent in Scranton!
Today, we’re stepping into the tranquil world of Dixon Candle and Bath LLC, a local business dedicated to enhancing your self-care rituals through the power of evocative, handcrafted scents.
Based right here in Scranton, Pennsylvania (yes, that Scranton!), owner Sonya Dixon has spent over two decades perfecting the art of eco-friendly soy candles and home fragrances, making her products a beloved staple in Northeastern Pennsylvania. While we can’t promise a Dundie Award for best candle, we can assure you Dixon Candle and Bath LLC delivers a far more soothing experience than a typical day at Dunder Mifflin.
Crafting a Ritual of Comfort
For Sonya, the journey into candle making wasn’t just a business decision; it was a personal necessity.
“I was out on medical leave and had experienced a couple of family losses and needed some comfort. Candle burning (unscented candles) had been my ritual for several years to help me decompress and relax.”
After finding store-bought scented candles lacking in intensity and burn quality, she took matters into her own hands. A simple craft store kit sparked a passion that has burned bright for 20+ years. Today, her mission is clear:
“We are not just making candles, we are creating positive moments, nostalgia, and memories. Today, life can be hectic… Sometimes, we just need a reminder to take a moment to settle down, relax, and regroup.”
Exclusive Scents Inspired by Your Favorite Drinks
What sets Dixon Candle and Bath LLC apart from the competition? It’s all in the blend. Sonya creates “fun drink inspired scents” based on teas, coffees, wines, milks, punches, and spirits.
The scents change out regularly, visit their website to see the current, unique selection of scents.
“Our exclusive fragrances set us apart. We hand blend our scents to create the most interesting scents that you can’t get anywhere else.”
Beyond the unique aromas, quality is paramount. All products are handcrafted using eco-friendly soy and phthalate-free fragrances. Sonya ensures every customer feels special, noting that their products are “gift ready” and that “Every order includes a free scented sachet bag sample.”
A Heart for the NEPA Community
Sonya loves the “small community” feel of NEPA, which allows her to truly get to know her customers. But her connection to Scranton goes deeper than just sales; it’s about service.
“We have had the pleasure of curating our custom scent blends in our signature 2 oz mini soy candles for local organizations like Black Scranton Project and NEPA Youth Shelter. We are honored that they have previously allowed us to create custom candles and labels for their local events.”
With a focus on meticulous quality, the business has a clear mission: “We strive to promote wellness, self-care, tranquility and relaxation all through the power of scent.”
Being a small business in NEPA has been particularly rewarding for Sonya:
“It’s a small community that allows me to get know customers but just big enough to continue to meet new people who welcome the opportunity for me to share my love of scent, self-care rituals, and gifting.”
Looking forward, Sonya loves sharing her products with those who “may benefit from some calming and relaxing energy.”
She plans to continue supporting groups like The Giving Back to the Community Group in Scranton, “an organization that creates events that benefit the children in our local community.”
Future Goals & Self-Care
Ultimately, her vision remains focused on the customer’s well-being:
“With meticulous attention to quality and creativity, we strive to promote wellness, self-care, tranquility and relaxation all through the power of scent.”
As Dixon Candle and Bath LLC continues to grow, Sonya has big plans to make self-care even more accessible. She hopes to launch a monthly subscription plan for seamless relaxation and wants to see her products in more local boutiques and salons.
