Wisconsin Candle Company: Handcrafted Candles Made Right Here in Wisconsin
One of the things we love most about owning Uptown Girl Beauty & Boutique is getting to support other small businesses along the way.
Whenever we can, we choose products made by people who care deeply about quality, craftsmanship, and their community. That's exactly what we found in Wisconsin Candle Company.
Made in Waunakee, Wisconsin, these handcrafted candles have become a customer favorite in our boutique. They smell incredible, burn beautifully, and have a story that makes us love them even more.
More Than Just a Candle
Wisconsin Candle Company wasn't started because someone wanted to sell candles. It began because the owner has severe asthma and fragrance sensitivities and struggled to find candles that could be enjoyed without overwhelming scents and unnecessary chemicals.
That experience inspired a simple goal: create candles that are beautiful, thoughtfully made, and enjoyable for as many people as possible.
We love that every candle starts with caring for people first. It's a philosophy that aligns so well with what we believe at Uptown Girl.
Inspired by Wisconsin Memories
One of our favorite things about this brand is how every fragrance tells a story.
Instead of chasing trendy scents, Wisconsin Candle Company creates fragrances inspired by memories.
The smell of lilacs blooming in Grandma's backyard.
Fresh tomatoes picked straight from the garden.
A crackling bonfire in the Northwoods after a day at the lake.
Those are the kinds of scents that make you stop for a second because they remind you of a place, a season, or someone you love.
It's amazing how one fragrance can instantly bring back a memory.
Thoughtfully Chosen Ingredients
Wisconsin Candle Company pays close attention to every ingredient that goes into their candles.
100% Soy Coconut Wax
Their candles are made with 100% soy coconut wax with no added dyes or UV additives.
The result is a cleaner-burning candle that burns slowly, helping you enjoy it longer.
Even better, the wax itself is manufactured right here in Wisconsin.
Cotton and Paper Wicks
Rather than using wicks with a metal core, Wisconsin Candle Company uses compressed cotton wicks wrapped in paper.
It's one more intentional choice that reflects their commitment to creating a cleaner-burning candle.
Clean Fragrance Oils
Their fragrance oils are carefully sourced and are free from parabens and phthalates.
They're made using natural aromatic components and essential oils to create fragrances that feel authentic and true to life.
Why We Chose to Carry Wisconsin Candle Company
One thing we hope people notice about Uptown Girl is that we're intentional with the brands we bring into the boutique.
We don't just look for products that are pretty. We look for businesses whose values align with ours.
Wisconsin Candle Company checks so many boxes.
✔ Made in Wisconsin
✔ Small business
✔ Thoughtfully crafted
✔ High-quality ingredients
✔ Beautiful fragrances
When you purchase one of these candles, you're supporting not one, but two Wisconsin small businesses.
That's something we're proud to be part of.
Eco-Friendly From Start to Finish
Another reason we love this company is their commitment to reducing waste.
Their packaging is reusable or recyclable whenever possible, and they even offer a Glass Buy Back Program, giving customers store credit when they return empty candle vessels to be reused.
They also reuse shipping boxes and packing materials instead of buying new whenever possible.
It's a simple idea, but one that can make a big difference over time.
