As makers of high-quality, handcrafted candles, we believe in empowering our customers. Here is a breakdown of what you will find on the market and how to choose a candle that is worth your investment.

 

Category 1: Mass-Market Candles

 

These are the candles you will find in big-box stores, drugstores, and supermarkets. They are the most widely available option.

  • What to expect: A very low price point and a huge variety of strong, often simple, scents.

  • What to watch out for: The low price is almost always achieved by using the cheapest possible materials. This typically means paraffin wax (a petroleum byproduct that can release toxins), low-grade fragrance oils that may contain phthalates, and basic, thin glass containers. While accessible, they often lack longevity and can compromise your indoor air quality.

 

Category 2: Department Store & Luxury Brand Candles

 

This category includes candles from major fashion houses and high-end home fragrance brands sold in department stores.

  • What to expect: A high price tag, sophisticated packaging, and complex scent profiles.

  • What to watch out for: A luxury name does not always guarantee luxury ingredients. Many well-known, expensive candle brands still use paraffin wax or paraffin blends as their base. You are often paying a premium for the brand name, not necessarily for a cleaner or higher-quality product.

Category 3: The Direct-to-Consumer Artisan Candle (The MBur Standard)

 

This is where brands like MBur Candle Co. operate. We are the makers and the sellers, which allows us to focus entirely on the quality and integrity of the product itself.

  • What to expect: A candle crafted with an obsessive attention to detail. This is what we believe every candle for sale should be.

    • A Clean, Non-Toxic Burn: We use 100% pure beeswax, a natural and air-purifying wax, never paraffin.

    • Safe, Sophisticated Scents: Our fragrances are always phthalate-free, complex, and designed for a beautiful, not overwhelming, experience.

    • Superior Craftsmanship: From our clean-burning wooden wicks and extra-thick glass vessels to our lidsand special safety clips, every component is chosen for performance and safety.
