Gratitude for Your Continued Support
Dear Valued Customers,
As I sit down to write this letter, I am filled with a mixture of emotions. After many wonderful years of serving you, the time has come for me to announce my retirement. This decision has not come lightly, but it is one that I have reached knowing that the cherished memories and lasting relationships we have formed over the years will always remain close to my heart. Northstar Country Candle Co., LLC has been on the market for a little while now without finding someone able to take on the business. So, I made the hard decision to begin the liquidation of the inventory.

We now believe the best natural wax is Blended Waxes BW917 for containers and tea-lights. Times change and products change. After years of testing our recommendation of waxes has changed
Our entire candle fragrance oils collection had been tested in NatureWax C-3 for cold and hot scent throw at 1oz per pound. We are currently retesting in Blended Wax BW917 at .6oz, .8oz and 1oz per pound to refine the definitions of Super Concentrate, Concentrate and Standard. We are following the long established industry standard of 1oz per pound of wax. We still want a strong scent throw. Using more does not give a stronger scent throw, but it could change the scent structure allowing some notes to dominate and drown out other notes.
Only offering scents with a great fragrance and scent throw. Ultra-Strong fragrance oils work great in natural waxes including soy wax, they will also work in beeswax and candle making wax blends. Using more than 6% differs from tested methodology and may change the perceived scent.
Most of our scents can also be used for personal care products like lotions and soaps; please check the provided IFRA for full details.
We offer candle wicks that have been primed with an all‑natural soy wax blend, not paraffin. The high melt‑point wax provides stability when pouring your candles, allowing you to confidently market your candles as All Natural when using our wicks. All of our wicks are lead‑free as well.
We offer cotton‑cored wicks from Atkins & Pearce, Wedo’s RRD wicks, paper‑core wicks, coreless wicks from Atkins & Pearce’s HTP line, Wedo’s ECO wicks, and Stabilo’s CD wicks.
We offer many forms of dyes for use in your candles.
