Why We Choose Only the Best Ingredients for Old Town Candle Co. Candles

At Old Town Candle Co., every candle is hand-poured with care, using the finest ingredients to create clean-burning, beautifully scented candles you can feel good about bringing into your home. We know what goes into your air matters, which is why we use 100% soy wax candles, eco-friendly cotton wicks, and non-toxic candle fragrances that meet the strictest safety standards.

Here’s a closer look at what makes our candles better:

100% Soy Wax Candles

We make all of our candles with pure soy wax from American-grown soybeans. Unlike paraffin wax, soy is renewable, biodegradable, and clean-burning, producing far less soot and no harmful petroleum byproducts. This means healthier air quality in your home and a longer-lasting candle. Soy wax also gives a smooth, even burn and excellent scent throw—perfect for filling your space with fragrance without overwhelming it.

Eco-Friendly Cotton Wicks

Our candles are made with natural cotton wicks or a cotton-paper blend, free from lead and zinc. These sustainable candle wicks are designed for an even burn, minimal mushrooming, and low soot. We carefully size each wick to match the jar, ensuring you get the safest, most efficient burn from start to finish.

Non-Toxic Candle Fragrances

Scent is the heart of a candle—but not all fragrance oils are created equal. We only use phthalate-free candle fragrances that comply with the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) safety standards. Each fragrance is tested for performance in soy wax to make sure it smells incredible without releasing harmful chemicals. This makes our candles safe for you, your family, and even your pets.
