Our Mission
Everyday products, crafted with faith, love, and care.
Kohav proudly uses 100% pure shea butter sourced directly from Burkina Faso, West Africa. This rich, nourishing ingredient is ethically harvested and deeply rooted in the land and culture where it is grown.
During a recent mission trip to Africa, we met incredible women whose strength and resilience left a lasting impact on our hearts. Many were educated, spoke English, and carried big dreams — yet due to extreme poverty and limited job opportunities, some were forced into prostitution simply to survive.
Those encounters ignited a deeper mission within us.
Our vision extends beyond candles. Our ultimate goal is to build a community center in Burkina Faso — a safe and empowering space where individuals can learn sustainable skills, receive English education for future job placement, and find rest, dignity, and hope. We want to create opportunities that open doors and restore purpose.
We are dreaming BIG. And we believe that through hard work, meaningful partnerships, and a shared commitment to change, we can make a lasting difference — one life, one family, and one community at a time.
Where it began
KOHAV Candle Company was born from both a spark of light and a spark of faith. During a mission trip to Africa, founders Elizabeth and Tiffany felt a stirring in their hearts. On a layover in Turkey, the vision became clear: combine their lifelong love of candles with their passion for serving others. What began as a passing idea soon grew into a calling—to create candles that reach hearts and homes while giving back to the mission field that first inspired them
