When I launched my own candle brand, finding the right manufacturing partner was essential. After years as a buyer and product developer for brands like Anthropologie and West Elm, I had worked with manufacturers around the world. I knew the benefits of international production, but I had also experienced the drawbacks: delayed shipments, port congestion, damage during transit, and the uncertainty caused by shifting tariffs and trade policies.
That’s why I set out to find a U.S. candle manufacturer that aligned with my values, prioritized quality, and could provide the stability I needed to build my business.
After exploring several domestic options, I chose Prosperity Candle. From the beginning, they stood out for their quality, responsiveness, flexibility, and deep understanding of product development. They offer domestic candle production in Massachusetts, which means I don’t have to worry about long lead times, customs delays, or unexpected import duties.
One of the biggest priorities for my brand is using clean ingredients, and Prosperity Candle delivers. They produce premium, small-batch candles with high-quality waxes, phthalate-free fragrances, and eco-conscious materials—so I know my products are safe for customers and responsibly made. Just as important, they share my values: operating an energy-efficient facility, treating their team with fairness and respect, and maintaining B Corp certification for their commitment to social and environmental standards. That kind of alignment is rare and deeply meaningful.
Choosing a U.S.-based candle manufacturer has also made inventory management much easier. Prosperity Candle offers low minimums, fast turnaround times, and even warehousing and fulfillment services. I’ve been able to avoid the stress of overseas logistics and import tariffs, while keeping my supply chain nimble and responsive to actual demand.
They also have the ability to help me expand into new product categories when I'm ready, including reed diffusers, room sprays, and incense. Their fragrance library includes over 800 high-quality scents, and they’ve collaborated with me to create signature blends that reflect my brand perfectly and which my customers love.
If you're looking for an extremely reliable domestic candle manufacturer that combines clean ingredients, ethical production, and the ability to help your brand grow while also avoiding the risks of international sourcing, I highly recommend Prosperity Candle.
