About Us

Rooted in Rhode Island

Hi, I’m Lynn. I was born and raised in Rhode Island, a place I proudly call home. There is a quiet beauty to our little state, the way each season shifts, from cozy, still winters to the crisp, comforting air of fall. Those familiar, seasonal moments are the heart and inspiration behind everything I create.

The Story Behind "Neena"

Six years ago, my grandson was born, and my heart became fuller than I ever imagined. To him, I am simply Neena.

The name "Neena’s Kitchen" was inspired by the feeling you get when you walk into a grandmother’s kitchen. It’s a space of warmth, comfort, and love poured into every little detail.

My business literally started in my own kitchen, handcrafting candles and soaps with quiet intention. What began as a personal passion has since grown into a dedicated studio in my home. I’ve moved out of the kitchen, but that same grounded, handmade care remains exactly where it started.

From My Hands to Yours

I believe the things we bring into our homes and put onto our skin should be simple, safe, and thoughtfully made. That’s why every single item at Neena’s Kitchen is:

• Handcrafted in small batches to ensure quality and care.

• Formulated with clean ingredients, using high-quality fragrance and essential oils.

• Completely dye-free, with any gentle touch of color coming naturally from essential oils or mica.

My hope is that these products bring a little more comfort, stillness, and generosity into your everyday routines. Whether you are a new friend or a returning favorite, welcome. It is such a joy to share this with you.

With gratitude,

Lynn Codair

Founder, Neena’s Kitchen
