Kelp House (noun)

  • /kelp haus/


    1. A place where the spirit of the sea is poured into every candle.


    2. A home for scents inspired by salt air, sandy shores, and island life.


  • Kelp House     was born from the sea. Along our coastline, giant kelp sways with the tide — a living symbol of resilience, renewal, and the deep connection between ocean and shore. Kelp nurtures the life around it, just as our coastal community sustains us.

  • Our name is a reminder of where we come from: the salt air of Louisbourg, the rhythm of Cape Breton’s waves, and the beauty found in nature’s simplest forms. Like the kelp forests just offshore, we aim to create something that supports life, treads lightly on the earth, and brings a little of the ocean’s calm into your home.

Eco Friendly + Ocean Lovers

Our phthalate- and paraben-free soy candles are made with sustainable ingredients and earth-friendly packaging. Born in a small coastal community, our brand is deeply connected to the sea and the life it inspires. We work closely with Canadian businesses to source only the finest, responsibly made materials. Each candle is designed to bring you moments of calm while treading lightly on the planet we all share.

Made in Nova Scotia, Canada

Each candle is lovingly made in Nova Scotia, inspired by the rugged shorelines and fresh sea breezes that surround us. We believe in supporting our neighbours, which is why every material we use — wax, wicks, and labels — comes from Canadian companies. By keeping our supply chain local, we reduce our environmental impact and strengthen the communities we call home.

Anchored in Community

We’re more than just a candle company; we’re neighbours, volunteers, and champions for the place we love. Our work extends beyond the studio to the coastal trails we help maintain, the beach cleanups we join, and the local shops we support. Louisbourg’s beauty and spirit fuel our passion, and every purchase plays a part in protecting and nurturing our community.
