Our goal at Alternative Wax is to provide our community with a repurposed, eco-conscious product. We hand-make our candles with 100% soy wax, a natural, renewable resource derived from soybeans. Most candles you’d find in a store use paraffin wax or soy wax blended with paraffin wax. Paraffin is made from petroleum, which isn’t something we’d want burning in our homes!

We take used cans and repurpose them into beautiful candles, giving a second life to the container and its beautiful artwork. Here are a couple of our most popular can-dles: R&D’s Storm Brew and NC State Riviera. Browse all options below.
