Company Summary

BUY ONE CANDLE = GIVE ONE SOLAR LANTERN. 1.6 Billion people do not have access to a public electricity grid and instead rely on harmful kerosene lanterns that kill nearly 2 million people every year, while also consuming 1/3 of a family’s income. INCANDESCE™ Candles are uniquely crafted and hand poured in the USA using clean burning 100% soy wax and sold online and through select retail locations to cause brand minded customers.
