50+ Total Burn Hours • Made in USA

Scent notes: Warm vanilla and sharp black pepper, tobacco, caraway, and a hint of lavender carried on the wind of a free nation.

Backstory:

Kings granted rights. Conquerors took them. America was built on a different idea — that rights come from God, belong to the people, and no government on earth has the authority to touch them. Three words at the top of a page that every tyrant since has feared.

"We the People...do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

— Preamble to the United States Constitution, 1787

What are patriots saying about Resistance Candles?

Pre-Order We the People

"Not like any other candles I've burned in the past"

I received two candles from Resistance Candles in return for my honest review. These are not like any other candles I have burned in the past. They have purpose, it makes me feel that I’m supporting a wonderful company that makes amazing products!! They’re small batched too, crafted and packaged in the USA. That’s so important to me. They are also very unique. Their purpose is Faith, Family & Freedom! I stand proud of that! Great scents, burn slow and very clean. I highly recommend!!

"I'm obsessed"

I am a huge candle guy, Army infantry veteran, and military historian…I love Christmas and love America…I glad I found you guys after the veteran owned candle shop I was buying from shut down.

The scents are strong, but not overwhelming, and throw the scent throughout the house.

I’m obsessed and will be buying more once these are low. I love the historical themed artwork and little stories behind each candle/scent. Keep it up and you’ll have a customer for life haha. USA!!

"You can tell they are handcrafted!"

These were a first for me! I like how these candles are made in the USA. You can tell that they are handcrafted! I like that the smell isn’t overpowering. It’s just light enough to cover a room without the headaches! The woodsy one, especially wasn’t overpowering; which is unusual compared to others I like how there’s stories on the candles. I like how the ingredients are listed. I also like the size of the jar. It’s just the right size!

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is in your candles?

We take your health—and your home—seriously. That’s why every candle is made with a premium coconut-apricot wax blend that burns clean, slow, and steady. It’s non-toxic, eco-friendly, and safe for families, pets, and patriots alike.

We intentionally don’t use soy wax. Why?

The vast majority of soy is genetically modified, and many of our customers (and team members) experience headaches, allergies, or other sensitivities when burning soy-based products. We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between quality and peace of mind.
2. How strong are your candles?
3. Do you use essential oils in your candles?
We don’t use straight essential oils in our candles. While they’re great in a diffuser or for personal care, they’re not built for open flame. Here’s why:

Some essential oils release harmful compounds when heated

Once exposed to flame, essential oils break down. So you’re not getting their health perks—just a higher price tag.

Certain essential oils can actually increase fire risk when burned directly in wax.

Instead, we use premium fragrance oils, which are carefully formulated for candle use. These often include real essential oils, but also contain a blend of synthetic and organic compounds that are stable, safe, and designed to deliver a rich, immersive scent experience.

At the end of the day, we’ll always choose what’s clean-burning, non-toxic, and true to our mission: giving you candles that smell incredible and uphold your values.
4. Are your candles pet-safe?
5. Why coconut wax?
We care about your well-being and the integrity of our products. That's why we exclusively use a premium coconut-apricot wax blend:

Burns cleaner than traditional waxes, producing minimal soot and smoke. This ensures better indoor air quality, making it safer for families and pets.

Holds and releases fragrance oils more effectively, providing a rich and consistent aroma throughout your space.

With a lower melting point, coconut-apricot wax candles burn slower and last longer, offering extended enjoyment.

Sourced from renewable coconut and apricot oils, this wax is biodegradable and supports sustainable agriculture, reducing environmental impact.

Unlike soy wax, which is often derived from genetically modified crops and can cause allergies or headaches, our coconut-apricot wax is non-GMO and gentle on sensitive individuals.
