What makes our candles different?

Most candles are made of toxic petro waxes or GMO soy, metal core wicks, and, worst of all, undisclosed "fragrance" with up to 3,000 different chemicals.

To Phōs Candles is committed to using only premium Beeswax and coconut oil, 100% pure cotton wicks, and fully disclosed fragrance oils.

(While others tout "nontoxic" oils, how can one truly know its toxin free unless you know the individual ingredients in the oils?)

There is nothing to hide here so you can feel safe burning candles in your home again.

Our Origin Story

Welcome to To Phōs Candles, I'm Mina — a happy wife and mother to four wonderful children. I'm delighted you've found us.

My journey into candle-making began when I realized the health hazard conventional candles pose to our bodies and our environment. This realization led me to a candle-less home for nearly eight years. So sad!

Until...

Until, inspired by a book on liturgy that highlighted the symbolic significance of lighting candles, I felt a renewed purpose to create non-toxic candles that reflect the warmth, light, and purity of Christ.

After extensive research and development, To Phōs Candles came to life. "To Phōs" is Greek for "The Light", the original language of the Bible, and derived from John 8:12

It's a joy to share with you a product born from love and care, safe for every home.
