About Our Waxes & Wicks

At Taft Candle Co., we thoughtfully handcraft our candles in small batches using a variety of carefully selected waxes chosen for their unique qualities, performance, and overall candle experience. Every candle is finished with a 100% cotton wick, primed in wax to promote a clean, steady burn while helping reduce excessive soot and “drowning flame.”

We believe the materials matter just as much as the experience they create.

​

Beeswax

Known as the “queen bee” of waxes, beeswax is natural, biodegradable, and beautifully timeless. Beeswax candles are loved for their soft golden glow, naturally light honey scent, and clean-burning qualities. As a harder wax with a higher melting point, beeswax performs especially well in warmer climates and creates long-lasting tapers, pillars, votives, and tealights.

Our beeswax candles are made using high-quality USA beeswax with no added dyes or artificial fragrances—allowing the natural beauty of the wax to shine on its own.

Non-Toxic

​

Natural Soy & Soy Blends

Soy wax is a vegetable-based wax derived from soybean oil and is a favorite among eco-conscious candle lovers. It offers a clean, long-lasting burn with excellent fragrance throw and minimal soot. Its naturally creamy appearance pairs beautifully with soft, everyday fragrance experiences.

We use soy wax produced and manufactured in the United States.

Non-Toxic • Vegan

​

Premium Paraffin

Our premium paraffin wax is highly refined for a clean, consistent burn and exceptional fragrance performance. Known for its smooth finish and strong scent throw, paraffin remains one of the most trusted and time-tested candle waxes available.

When paired with proper wick care and trimming, it provides a bright, reliable flame with minimal soot.
