Clean Ingredients. Consciously Crafted.

At Applewood Candle Co., we believe you deserve to feel good about what you're breathing in - and we think clean fragrance should be a given, not a luxury. That’s why every candle we pour is rooted in one simple promise: clean fragrance, handcrafted in small batches with care using only the best ingredients for you and your family (yes, your pups, too!).

We’re proud to be fully transparent about the ingredients we use - because your home should be a place to relax, not worry about what’s in the air.

Why Clean Ingredients Matter

In 2019, when our founder, Allison, learned about the harmful toxins hidden in conventional candles (yes, even the ones claiming to be "clean"), everything changed. What began as a personal mission to find safe, non-toxic scents that she could burn around her pup, Magnolia, became Applewood Candle Co. - a luxury home fragrance brand that marries wellness with beauty.

We know the reality - many mass-market candles still contain phthalates, carcinogens, and Prop 65 chemicals. No one should be exposed to harmful ingredients - plain and simple. Whether you’re health-conscious, have pets or little ones, or just want to feel good about what’s in your home, no one should have to compromise safety for scent. So we chose a different path: slow-crafted, high-integrity ingredients, even if it means a more complex production process and a smaller scent library.

Our commitment to clean, sustainable candle-making isn’t just about our clients - it’s personal. Every single candle is hand-poured by myself or a member of my family, which means we’re working closely with these ingredients every single day. We choose the highest-quality, non-toxic materials not only to protect your home, but to protect ours, too. Because if it’s not safe enough for our own hands, our own air, and our own family - it’s not going in our candles, no exceptions.

Ingredients You Can Trust

Pure Fragrances
Our signature scent blends are free from phthalates, parabens, carcinogens, Prop 65 chemicals, mutagens, and other known toxins. Just the good stuff - safely sourced and beautifully blended. 

Coconut-Soy Wax
Our natural wax is made from renewable, plant-based resources for a smooth, clean burn. It’s biodegradable, vegan, and supports sustainable farming practices.

Crackling Wooden Wicks
We use sustainably-sourced, FSC-certified wood wicks that create a soft, ambient crackle - no coatings, no additives, just the cozy sound of comfort.

The Applewood Standard

You shouldn't have to choose between clean ingredients and aesthetic appeal. That’s why every product we create is thoughtfully designed to elevate your space and your wellbeing. From wax to wick, from scent to vessel, we consciously craft each candle to be as safe as it is stunning.

From our studio to your home, we believe in full transparency and complete peace of mind. With thoughtfully chosen ingredients and a commitment to clean living, this is home fragrance you can truly feel good about!
