Our Story

Bandage & Badge Creations was built around two careers devoted to serving others.

Between emergency medicine and law enforcement, we understand long days, late nights, and high‑stress moments. Creating candles, lip balms, and handcrafted goods became our way to slow down — to make something with intention and care.

We believe handmade products should be simple, well‑made, and something we’re proud to use ourselves. Every candle is hand‑poured in small batches, every lip balm is crafted with quality ingredients, and every product is finished by hand.

We’re a small family business based in Pueblo, Colorado. Whether you find us at The Peddler’s Mercantile or order directly from us, you’re supporting people who genuinely appreciate every customer.

Thank you for being part of our story.

What Goes Into Every Bandage & Badge Candle?

Clean ingredients. Honest materials. A better burn from start to finish.

⭐ Freedom Soy Wax
A smooth, plant‑based wax that burns cleaner than paraffin and creates a creamy, even surface.
What this means for you: less soot, longer burn time, and a candle that fills the room without overwhelming it.

⭐ CandleScience Fragrance Oils
Premium, phthalate‑free oils that are rigorously tested for safety and performance.
What this means for you: rich, consistent scent from the first burn to the last inch of wax.

⭐ CandleScience CD 8 Pretabbed Wicks
Cotton‑core, lead‑free wicks designed for smooth, even melting in 8 oz jars.
What this means for you: no tunneling, a steady flame, and a cleaner burn with less mushrooming.

💛 Hand‑poured in Colorado. Made with intention. Crafted for comfort.

Basic Candle Care Tips!
Simple steps that make your candle burn cleaner, safer, and longer.

⭐ Trim Your Wick
Keep the wick at ¼ inch before each burn.
This prevents soot, mushrooming, and overly large flames.

⭐ Let It Burn to the Edges
Allow the candle to melt all the way to the jar edges on the first burn.
This stops tunneling and helps your candle last longer.

⭐ Burn in 2–4 Hour Sessions
Short burns cause tunneling; overly long burns overheat the jar.
2–4 hours is the sweet spot for safety and performance.

⭐ Keep Away From Drafts
Fans, vents, and open windows make the flame flicker, causing uneven burning and soot.

⭐ Stop Burning at ½ Inch
When only half an inch of wax remains, it’s time to retire the candle.
This protects the jar from overheating.

A Naturally Firmer Balm — By Design
Because we use real beeswax, our balm has a slightly firmer texture in the tin. It stays stable, warms with your fingertip, and applies smoothly without feeling heavy or oily.

This is the difference you feel immediately: your lips stay soft even after the balm wears off.

🌾 Our Long‑Term Vision
As we continue to grow, our goal is to eventually source our beeswax from a local Colorado beekeeper — supporting small bee farms, reducing our footprint, and keeping our ingredients as close to home as possible.

To help us reach more customers in our community, we kindly ask that you like and share our page.
Increased visibility allows us to continue expanding our products and services.
Thank you for supporting our growth.

Our candle labels finally arrived, and seeing them on the jars feels like such a milestone. Every candle on our shelf now has its finished look — complete with its own 3D‑printed Colorado charm tied on with twine for that handmade, local touch.

We’ve also added scent testers for the fragrances so you can smell everything without opening the jars. It keeps the display clean and makes browsing way easier.

🕯️ Current Candle Collection Hand‑poured in small batches right here in Colorado, each with its own unique vibe:

Spiced Honey & Tonka — Warm, cozy, lightly sweet, with amber and sandalwood notes.

Apple Harvest — Crisp, juicy apple with a touch of spice for that year‑round fall feeling.

Vanilla Element — Smooth, creamy vanilla with a clean, modern finish.

Apple Sage — Fresh apples blended with earthy sage for a bright, herbal balance.

Kentucky Bourbon — Deep bourbon warmth with oak and caramel undertones.

You can smell every scent, see the new labels, and check out the charms in person at The Peddler’s Mercantile:

A little behind-the-scenes from last night’s pour session — candles cooling and lip balm tins getting filled for the very first official stocking at Peddlers Mercantile here in Pueblo West. 🕯️💛

I’m excited to share that I’ve added an unscented version of my beeswax lip balm for anyone who prefers a clean, fragrance-free option. Same nourishing formula, just without the scent.

You’ll notice in the videos that my candle labels aren’t on yet. They’re still in production, so for now the candles will have my logo on the front and the scent labeled on top. Once the full label sets arrive, everything will look much more cohesive and aligned with my lip balm branding.

For anyone curious about the making process: all equipment used for melting and pouring is thoroughly washed between every scent and fragrance to keep each product clean, consistent, and true to its intended aroma.

All items will be stocked on 6/2, once the lip balms have fully cured and can be safely sealed for the shelves at Peddlers.

Thank you for supporting handmade, small-batch creations — can’t wait for you to see them in person at Peddlers Mercantile, 38 E. Hahns Peak Ave., Pueblo West, CO.
