Why Coconut Soy Blended Wax Is the Gold Standard
Our coconut soy wax candles are designed for people who want the cleanest, most luxurious scented candle burn without compromising their air quality or their conscience. They’re sourced from American Soy Organics, blended in-house for performance, and hand-poured for consistency.
We don’t use paraffin. We don’t cut our wax with junk additives like stearic acid. And we certainly don’t throw around words like “natural” just to grab clicks. You get a clean, slow burn and a scent profile that fills your space without overwhelming it.
It’s why our customers call us one of the best home candle brands they’ve found. They’re not just good candles—they’re the best smelling candles for home because we make them that way.
The Problem with Cheap Candles Disguised as Premium
If a candle looks fancy but costs $5, there’s a reason for it. Many mass-produced cheap candles are made by contract candle manufacturers using industrial paraffin, cheap synthetic fragrances, and undisclosed dyes and stabilizers.
And when they label it as “soy,” guess what? It might only be 10% soy wax, with the rest being paraffin and filler. We don’t do that. We don’t need to. Our customers know better and expect more. We have a motto at the Willis Candle Shop: our label not only tells you what's in the candle, it also tells you what's not in the candle!

Wick Matters (So Does Craftsmanship)
We offer wooden wick candles, cotton wick candle options, double wick candles, and of course, those show-stopping 3 wick candles. Every vessel is wicked by hand, tested in-house, and poured with intention. Our wood wick candle wicks are sourced from Makesy, and our cotton wicks are sourced from Black Tie Barn.
Our candles aren’t factory-made. They’re made with passion—poured, cleaned, labeled, and packed right here in the Heart of the Sam Houston National Forest in Willis, Texas.
