Wooly Wax Candles

Wooly Wax brings an exquisite level of craft and luxe to custom candles and home goods. We marry the simplicity of fashioning pure goods with the intricacy of the human sensory experience – developing top, bottom and middle scent notes that evoke memory and moment.

And because our hand poured candles are made with only the finest ingredients, they burn cleaner than any others on the planet. In addition to our expertly curated lines, we create Collaborative Custom Scented Candles for any occasion.

custom scents

We create bespoke scents for retail shops, residential spaces, custom gifts, weddings and events. Together we can craft a collaborative custom scented candle based in memory, location or feeling.

Small batch

Our hand poured candles are made of 100% natural soy wax from U.S. grown soybeans, cotton wicks and high-quality essential oils – creating a longer, cleaner burn.

Handcrafted Artisanal Candles and Home Goods

What happens when a professional chef – devoted to flavor and experience – transfers her decades of experience into another business dedicated to memory making? The precision and beauty of Wooly Wax candles and home goods.

For each bespoke scent she creates, Rachel Woolcott works backward from memory. Either from her own life or those of her clients. As a child, Rachel would sneak into her father’s study where she would imbibe a comforting bouquet of leather, wood and scotch – this memory inspired the Wooly Wax Burmese Teakwood candle.

On most days, you’ll find Rachel formulating and pouring her creations with careful precision. Her love for creating mood and energy is apparent in the aesthetic of Wooly Wax headquarters and retail shop located in the Berkley neighborhood of Denver. Stop by to see Wooly Wax production in action – and maybe create your own tailored scent.

Natural, Non-Toxic Candles

Wooly Wax Candles are made from 100% natural soy wax from U.S. grown soybeans, which create a longer, cleaner burn. Our 8 oz. candles have a burn time of approximately 55 - 65 hours.

quality ingredients

 We use essential oils and the finest fragrance oils that are phthalate- free. With our goods, sometimes it’s more about what we keep out than what goes in: no parabens, no sulfates, no animal testing, no dyes or chemicals.

 

candle Safety

Don’t leave unattended and be sure to keep children and pets out of reach. Keep candles from drafty areas and let cool completely before handling. 

tips for a Killer burn

For the first burn, trim the wick to 1/4 inch, light it and let it burn for a couple of hours. This creates a 'memory' for the wax and helps ensure an even melt and longer burn.
