The Mayflower

If you're wondering what's so special about premium or luxury candles, there's a BIG difference between the cheap stuff you buy in big box stores, and what you're getting here!

Bottom line: You’re not just buying a candle; you’re buying something you’re proud to burn while supporting the USA economy directly!

Each candle is made-to-order in our artisan boutique studio in Northern Washington, using elevated ingredients chosen for their quality, safety, and story-rich character.

We believe luxury lives in the details — and you’ll feel that with every flicker.

🕯️ Wax

We use a creamy, clean-burning coconut-blend wax — a sustainable alternative prized by boutique perfumers and artisan chandlers for its smooth finish and excellent scent throw.

• Soy-free, making it a gentler option for those prone to allergies or headaches
  
• Burns cleanly and evenly, with no soot, smoke, or harsh chemical scent
  
• Has a low melting point, meaning it never gets too hot — safer for your space and family
  
• Naturally creamy and soft to the touch, creating an indulgent experience even before the flame is lit
  

Customers who are sensitive to traditional or soy candles consistently tell us: “This is the first candle I can burn without issues — and it smells like heaven.”

🔥 Wicks

• Feature lead-free cotton wicks for a soft, steady burn.
  

🌿 Fragrance

Our scents are custom-developed in collaboration with master perfumers, and crafted exclusively for Resistance Candles.

• Phthalate-free and safe for pets and for indoor use
  
• Blended using a mix of high-end fragrance oils and essential oils
  
• Designed to evoke emotion, memory, and storylines
  

You won’t find these blends in any mass-market candle.

🍯 Vessels

Our vessels are both beautiful and reusable:

• Simple and elegant amber glass, with a black twist-on metal lid.
  

Every vessel is designed to live beyond the flame — as a memory keeper, match jar, or storage piece.

Each candle is "slow crafted" and made to order just for you! Our normal processing times are 5-7 days.

As soon as your candle is cured, you will get a shipping notification via email and you can track your order from there!
