At Applewood Candle Co., we believe clean fragrance should be the standard, not a luxury. Every candle is hand-poured in small batches with non-toxic, clean ingredients that are safe for you, your family, and yes, your pups, too!
Transparency is at the heart of everything we do. From wax to wick, we're committed to creating non-toxic candles that allow you to enjoy candles without questioning what's in the air around you.
Why Clean Ingredients Matter
Our founder, Allison, learned that many "clean" candles still hide harmful toxins... and everything for her changed! What began as a mission to find safe, non-toxic scents she could confidently burn around her golden retriever, Magnolia, became Applewood Candle Co.! The standards are simple: if it's not safe enough for our own home, it isn't going into yours!
Clean, Non-Toxic Fragrance
We believe luxury home fragrance should never come at the expense of what you bring into your home. That's why every Applewood fragrance is thoughtfully developed using ingredients that meet our rigorous clean fragrance standards. Our scents are always free from phthalates, parabens, Prop 65 chemicals, carcinogens, mutagens, and other known toxins, allowing you to enjoy beautiful home fragrance with confidence. While we thoughtfully incorporate essential oils, we don't believe that "all-natural" automatically means safer. Some essential oils naturally contain compounds that have been flagged for toxicity or sensitization concerns, which is why we evaluate every ingredient individually. In some cases, a carefully formulated clean fragrance oil is actually the cleaner and safer choice. Rather than limiting ourselves to a single ingredient category, we select the safest, highest-performing materials available so every fragrance meets our standards for safety.
Premium Coconut-Soy Wax
Our candles are crafted with a premium coconut-soy wax blend made from renewable, plant-based resources. This clean-burning wax produces minimal soot, provides exceptional fragrance throw and burns more slowly and evenly than many traditional candle waxes. The result is a longer-lasting candle that fills your space with scent while supporting a cleaner burn from the first light to the final glow.
Crackling Wooden Wicks
Every Applewood candle features an FSC-certified wooden wick sourced from responsibly managed forests. Unlike traditional cotton wicks, our uncoated wooden wicks create a gentle crackling sound reminiscent of a cozy fireplace while helping to deliver a clean, even burn. Thoughtfully chosen for both performance and ambiance, they're one of the details that make an Applewood candle feel like a small everyday luxury.
The Applewood Standard
Applewood Candle Co. is a clean home fragrance collection that invites indulgence without sacrificing wellness. We believe the most meaningful moments at home are accompanied by a candle, a quiet invitation to slow down, settle in, and be fully present in the moments that matter most. Free from toxins found in traditional candles, our artfully inspired scents are consciously hand-crafted from wax to wick. Experience pure, luxury fragrance... because the beauty of home is found in the simple moments and little luxuries.
