What makes our products different?

Most candles and skincare hide behind the word “fragrance” — a legal loophole that can contain up to 3,500 undisclosed chemicals. Add in toxic petro waxes, GMO soy, metal-core wicks, or filler oils, and you’re left with products you’d never knowingly bring into your home or put on your skin.

At To Phōs, we do things differently. Our candles and tallow are made only with premium beeswax, organic coconut oil, grass-fed tallow, and pure cotton wicks. And unlike almost every other brand, we fully disclose every single fragrance ingredient.

Because you deserve to know exactly what you’re bringing into your home and onto your skin.

Our Commitment

Here at To Phōs Candles, we share your desire for a home that’s both a safe haven and a cozy retreat. That’s the inspiration behind our candles, crafted to meet the highest standards of health, environmental care, and transparency about ingredients. Motivated by a mother’s deep understanding of true safety, we’re committed to offering candles that allow you to embrace warmth and light with confidence — no secrets, no compromises.

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.
