Welcome to Lowry homestead creations!!! products are handcrafted here in Chesapeake, Va. phthalate free fragrances and no unnecessary ingredients added!!!! look around and stay a bit. let us know if you have any questions. we are always here for you.We love to use soy wax for our candles. not only is it a cleaner burn than petroleum based waxes but by using soy wax, we are supporting farmers. we are currently trying to move away from shrink wrapping where we can. some products may come in shrink wrap but know we are still transitioning.we love to learn new products and try new things. so you may find new products being offered all the time. you can always follow us on our journey on Facebook and Instagram.
