Are you ready for a science-inspired candle?

We think candles that carry ideas are pretty lit. That's why we set out to create one of the world's first science-inspired candles that not only smell and look great, but also stimulate the mind.

Our products

  • SMALL-BATCH, HAND-POURED

    With Ponder, you can trust that we make your candles after countless testing in order to ensure that our candles are safe and functional. That is why every candle we make is part of a small batch that we hand-craft in San Diego, California.

  • SUSTAINABILITY FIRST

    Our candles are made vegan, toxin-free, and with 100% plastic-free packaging so you can take care of the Eath while taking care of yourself. Each candle is made with coconut blend wax plus a cotton wick for a clean and safe burn.

  • PURPOSE-DRIVEN BUSINESS

    We hope to not light our own candles, but also light the candles of others through meaningful giveback to the community. Each candle you buy contributes to a greater cause: a child's education. Through Ponder's commitment to United-World-Schools (UWS), you are funding an underprivileged child's education with your every purchase.
