The United States has one of the largest industries when it comes to candles.
Everyone is looking to get into their market but only the ones with the best quality are acceptable.
I’m very familiar with what they have to offer and it’s quite difficult to make the world’s top list.
But, I made the top 10 coconut candle companies in the US list with a lot of research.
Based on what I compiled, every company on it has a great reputation worldwide.
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
The influence Coconutio has on the market was the reason to place us on the US list. Great reputation and over a decade of experience helped us achieve our goal. Being among the best means millions in sales but I also include great designs as one of the factors
The US has great potential and we provide services all over the world. Many decide not to use all-natural materials because many consumers care about numbers. But, there are many that care about the environment and love our products.
Yankee Candle
- Location: South Deerfield, MA
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale, distributor
- Year founded: 1969
- The number of employees: 5001-10000
- Main product: candles
- Other products: home fragrances, accessories, gifts
One of the most popular companies when it comes to candles in the US is Yankee Inc. They have everything that I would call a great firm. Being over 50 years in the industry they opened over 450 stores.
You can find them in more than 15000 retail stores. It’s more important to mention that their candles are of premium quality. The design is very simple but I consider the balanced scents as a plus.
Colonial Candle
- Location: Barnstable, Massachusetts
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 1909
- The number of employees: 500-1000
- Main product: candles
- Other products: home fragrances, accessories, gifts
Even if it seems they are on the market for over 100 years, that’s only when the story begins. Something that I value more than time is the strict quality guidelines they have. Each employee needs to learn the craft and can’t use their ideas.
Another benefit is that they use materials from the US. They might have a greater reputation than Yankee Inc. The founder is a woman teacher that gained industry respect back in 1909.
Homesick
- Location: New York, New York
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 2016
- The number of employees: 11-50
- Main product: candles
- Other products: reed diffusers, car fresheners
Starting a new business in a competitive industry is very difficult. Homesick did it by creating a great community around them. I found out that they talk to many customers and professionals about every new design.
A way to beat the competition is to have more products available and they have over 200. With a unique name, they are for sure making a statement. An idea I’m very attracted to is the packaging named by every state in the country.
Forvr mood
- Location: Santa Fe Springs, CA
- Company type: wholesale
- Year founded: 2020
- The number of employees: 1-10
- Main product: candles
- Other products: gift sets
FORVRV mood deserved a spot on the list because of the great story and products. Jackie Aina is a former army veteran and a YouTube star. She creates beauty content which leads her to the idea to start a candle company.
Her luxurious brand comes with a good price that many can afford. I noticed that content creates love to invest in designing. Her products look very appealing which is the reason why many decide to choose them.
Stone Candles
- Location: Santa Monica, CA
- Company type: wholesale, manufacturing
- Year founded: 2015
- The number of employees: 11-50
- Main product: candles
- Other products: candle supplies, kits
While I’m mentioning product design, I need to include Stone Candles. The story started with a designer Daniel Stone who turned it into a family business. People love to work with them because they hire employees with disabilities.
That section of the firm creates items that you can order online. A part of the money earned goes for the Children’s Foundation. You can also find everything that will help you create your unique design.
Otherland
- Location: Brooklyn, NY
- Company type: ecommerce
- Year founded: 2015
- The number of employees: 2-10
- Main product: candles
- Other products: coconut candles
I didn’t have to do much research when it comes to Otherland. There are many stories about her success. With years of tryouts and testing hundreds of fragrances, she decided to find ways to fund the idea.
After finding Crunchbase, she was able to raise $2.7m. This is probably the largest amount a single person was able to raise online for a candle business.
Plant Therapy
- Location: Twin Falls, Idaho
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 2011
- The number of employees: 51-200
- Main product: body care
- Other products: candles, CBD, household items
I mentioned Plant Therapy because of its great presence online. They have many satisfied customers and even offer career options and affiliate programs. You can find educational content that will help you learn about essential oils.
They are not only focused on candles but they are very thorough when it comes to everything they do. A very competitive price is also one of their advantages.
Cleveland Coconut Candles
- Location: North Olmsted, Ohio
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 2019
- The number of employees: 2-10
- Main product: coconut candles
- Other products: candles
The focus is only on coconut candles with 100% natural materials. A couple started the company while visiting Panama. You can find coconut in every color you think about. I love the diversity and their passion for coconuts and everything you can do with them.
Being new in the industry, they are not even competing with others on the list. Their customers are locals and others that find their story interesting.
Hummingbird Candle Co
- Location: Fayetteville, NC
- Company type: manufacturing, wholesale
- Year founded: 2019
- The number of employees: 11-50
- Main product: candles
- Other products: coconut candles
Another young company found a way to promote their product by having a great community. She started it by wanting to support her husband after 21 years of army service. Each month, they donate to many organizations that support women.
I like that they have only eco-friendly products and unique ways of promoting them. She offers jobs for people in the minorities and women in need.
