About us

We know what you’re thinking… How did two masculine men get into the candle making business?

Our story

A glimpse of inspiration

Well, let us take you through a brief background.

One night, Kevin lit a candle to add a little ambiance to the room. When he pulled the candle away from the wall, he noticed a black soot mark had made its presence all along the side. While most guys would just move the candle away from the wall (duh), Kevin had two thoughts, one--oh crap, my wall and two--this can’t be healthy (and it wasn’t). Thus, Wax and Wick was born.

our goal is — to combine minimalist aesthetics with 100% soy wax and natural wood wicks for a clean burning masculine candle for men.

In the beginning, Wax and Wick was just the two of us, dedicated to creating the best 100% soy-based candles. We handled everything from pouring to packing to shipping, all by hand. After a few sleepless nights and over three years of passion-fueled growth, our team has expanded. While our approach has evolved, our commitment to quality and craftsmanship remains unwavering as we continue to grow.

01. why soy?

Our candles are meticulously crafted from 100% soy wax and feature natural wood wicks, emphasizing our commitment to using sustainable, renewable resources. The choice for soy was clear from the start; it burns cleaner, lasts longer, and comes from a place of environmental responsibility. By focusing on soy, we aim to provide a candle that not only enhances your space with its gentle, natural light but also aligns with our dedication to sustainability and environmental care.

02. Small Batches of Perfection

Our small batch of pours allows us to focus on perfecting the candle. These American-sourced ingredients deliver the ultimate visual, aural, and olfactory experience. After all, we think quality always beats quantity.

03. Hand-Pouring

Each candle is meticulously hand-poured by our skilled artisans, who infuse every ounce of fragrant wax into elegant containers with utmost precision and attention to detail. This careful process guarantees that each candle maintains the highest level of uniformity and quality consistency, embodying our commitment to excellence in every batch.
