Internationally Inspired.
Made in the U.S.A.

Fragrances in Southern France or a colorful market in Marrakesh may offer inspiration, but every one of Illume's candles is poured at the Illume factory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They couldn’t imagine them being made anywhere else.

When it comes to candle making, you could call them perfectionists or a bit type-A. Illume is compulsive when it comes to finessing fragrance and marrying it to the ideal wax. Don’t even get them going about straightening wicks or the purity of paraffin. It’s about maintaining quality every step of the way ensuring an Illume candle burns beautifully from first light to last flicker.

You can’t make a candle without wax and you can’t make an Illume candle without the highest-quality wax available. Their candles are crafted from either food-grade paraffin or our natural-wax formulation of soy, palm and beeswax. Wax is the foundation for a clean burn, amazing fragrance throw and natural beauty.
