From Slovenia to Venezuela and Back
Hi! We’re Rosa and Alexandra, two Slovenian-Venezuelan sisters born in Caracas, Venezuela and raised by our grandmother, Nežka Žibert, who was born in Britof pri Kranju.
We grew up in a home filled with polenta and arepas, singing both La Vaca Mariposa and Marko Skače.
If you want to know more about our family's story, you can read about it here.
After spending years apart, we ended up together in Slovenia, the land of our grandmother.
CocoBee started when we decided to create something that mixes both of our worlds:
Slovenia, where nature is clean and peaceful and Venezuela, where we learned to be creative, resilient, and resourceful.
But our candle journey started with pure ignorance. We used to buy the cheapest candles, unaware of the harm they were causing. We loved having them around, but we were unaware of their harmful effects.
That's why we decided to start making natural candles. Good for your health, good for your ambiance and good for the environment.
What Makes CocoBee Different?
Our candles are handcrafted using only three natural ingredients:
✅ Beeswax – Sourced naturally for a clean, long-lasting burn. Locally harvested in Slovenia.
✅ Coconut Wax – Adds a delightfully creamy & clean-burning base and a MUCH better alternative than soy wax.
✅ Essential Oils to help you set the right aromatic mood – floral, citrusy, herbal or woody.
No toxic paraffin or ultra-processed and ecologically harmful waxes (like soy and rapeseed).
Just pure, nature-inspired candles made by us, in our home.
To ensure the highest quality, our essential oils are certified and carefully sourced to guarantee hormone-friendly, natural scents that bring true well-being to your space.
By choosing CocoBee you’re embracing a lifestyle where self-care meets sustainability and where every flame carries the essence of nature.
Thank you for being here. We can’t wait to share more of our journey with you!
Rosa & Alexandra
