Australia has a large market that supplies all countries in Oceania.
Compared to the countries in its region, it has some of the best candle companies.
I compiled a list of the top 10 coconut candle companies in Australia based on thorough research.
Being in the industry for many years now, I’m experienced enough to find the best.
There are a few factors that will determine which one ends up on the list.
Shenzhen Coconutio LLC
- Location: Shenzhen
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 2009
- The number of employees: 50
- Main product: coconut bowls
- Other products: coconut wax, coconut carving bowls
Factors that distinguish great from good include quality of material, handcrafting, and design. Coconutio has all factors checked and that’s why they are on the list even if we are from China. We ship to every country including AU.
My journey started a few years ago and I managed to build a great reputation and grow with the business. With a great design and traditional ways of production, we built a great role model.
Palm Beach Collection
- Location: Sydney, AU
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 2009
- The number of employees: 11-50
- Main product: scented candles
- Other products: coconut wax, fragrance diffusers, gift
Like most companies on the list, Palm Beach Collection is a family-run business. What I like the most about them is that they have a full guide about candles. You will know which sizes you need and how long they will last.
They also have more than 30 fragrances and mixtures. Besides doing wholesale, they have a gift option where you get a couple of candles and diffusers. I’ve seen their candle club where you get great discounts.
Beach Harvest Australian Coconuts
- Location: Julatten, AU
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 2013
- The number of employees: 2-10
- Main product: coconut products
- Other products: candles, chips, sprinkles, bowls
Everything that is grown in the market you are selling in is for me a huge advantage. You have many wholesalers that are importing from other countries. Coconut candles are not their main product but they have a few scents in their store.
They harvest it in Port Douglas which gives them a fresh product. I’m sure they are great for creating a relaxing atmosphere and enjoying healthy food.
Cocolux Australia
- Location: West Gosford, AU
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 2015
- The number of employees: 11-50
- Main product: candles
- Other products: diffusers, bamboo candles, coconut candles
Cocolux can be on the top when it comes to luxurious fragrance brands. I find their design very appealing and it looks like a product you would want to buy for someone. One of the reasons why they are not number one is the price.
Most of their products are very expensive but they can be a great gift. A good thing is that they don’t use soy and palm wax which adds to the value.
Burchgrove Home
- Location: New South Wales, AU
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 2015
- The number of employees: 11-50
- Main product: candles
- Other products: body care, diffusers
My research leads me to a company that is a part of Burchgrove Group. Both focus on bath and body care and home fragrances. When we look at the whole firm, they have more than 50 employees and are growing fast.
They describe some of their collections as luxurious but they are quite affordable. An advantage they have over some others on the list is that they handmake their products. Each glass they use for the candles is custom designed.
Conscious Candle Co
- Location: Forrestdale, AU
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 1994
- The number of employees: 2-10
- Main product: candles
- Other products: essential oils
I wasn’t able to find too many details about the firm but their customer service helped a lot. They are in the industry for many years now and know it very well. Focused on the wholesale business, you can find them in many Australian retail stores.
Their specialty is the Crystal Infused Candles where they use real stone crystals. The scents I know about are great for home purposes but there are also other collections in their store.
Dusk
- Location: Sydney, AU
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 2000
- The number of employees: 501-1000
- Main product: candles
- Other products: homewares, gifts, aromatherapy
With over 20 years of experience, Dusk was able to become one of the biggest supplies in Australia. With over 500 employees, they increased their product line and maintained quality. I have to mention that their scents are not too strong and you can use them more often.
You can find them in over 100 stores but they also operate online. Besides candles, they offer diffusers, essential oils, homewares, and gift boxes. They have the largest variety of candle types on the list.
Lantern Cove
- Location: Queensland, AU
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 2015
- The number of employees: 2-10
- Main product: candles
- Other products: coconut and soy candles
Even though they focus on soy wax, they mix it with coconut in many of their products. One thing I know they are unique for is the Harry Styles scent they made. They describe it as masculine but very romantic.
Their employees had training in regions where handcrafted candles are a local thing. So, with only 6 years of experience, they managed to become a very competitive company. With unique products, they will for sure go up the list.
Tilley
- Location: Victoria, AU
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 1865
- The number of employees: 51-200
- Main product: aromatherapy
- Other products: candles, body care
There’s no doubt that the oldest company on my list is Tilley. They started as a soap manufacturing firm. Throughout the years they spread the production in other fields. You can find many kinds of candles on their website but most of them are not pure coconut wax.
This may be the downside but the quality and reputation bring them among the top 10. The families that run the company have changed over the years but they stuck to their origins.
Lueur Coconut Soy Candles
- Location: Victoria, AU
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 2019
- The number of employees: 2-10
- Main product: coconut soy candles
- Other products: candle care
I’m all about local production unless it’s not well made. Lueur hand-pours their coconut-soy wax from Australian sources. They only exist for the past 2 years but managed to get over 50 scents. They focus more on the different models instead of the numbers so you won’t be able to get larger batches.
Every piece is a mixture of coconut and soy but is 100% natural. They have 3 sizes available, the largest 300ml, and can burn up to 70h depending on the area.
