Hi, I’m Ivy—owner and creator of TEN|4 Candle Co.

Born and raised in Chicago with deep Mexican roots, I’ve always been a creative spirit at heart. After eight years in Real Estate and a past life as a makeup artist, I felt called to build something of my own—something that blended artistry, intention, and giving back.

What began with a simple candle-making kit quickly became a passion. I spent nine months perfecting a cleaner, longer-lasting, luxury burn, sourcing premium wax and fine fragrance oils from women-owned suppliers.

TEN|4 Candle Co. is the culmination of that craft—an ode to the dogs who’ve shaped my life and a way to give back to the animal community I love. Each candle is made by hand in Chicago with purpose, heart, and elevated simplicity.
