Our Story

Hey! I’m Kim, Wicked Flicker Candle Co.’s founder and maker. Each fragrance is an intentional, curated blend inspired by the power of storytelling and the human connection it fosters. Our candles are derived from folklore, mythology, and books to evoke the storyteller in all of us. 

As a life-long candle hoarder, I sought a creative outlet to pour my energy into (pun intended). I purchased a candle making kit off Amazon and instantly became obsessed with researching and testing the best possible ingredients to share with my friends and family. I was also testing for what wouldn't give me one of my chronic headaches and fill my home with a more subtle sensory experience. Now that I have a little one at home, ingredients matter more than ever. 

The "Nevers" List

Wicked Flicker candles are made without the following:

• Animal testing
• Lead
• Paraffin/petroleum
• Phthalates
• Known carcinogens

Hand-poured in small batches in my little lakeside home in northern NJ, Wicked Flicker candles are "junk-free". There will never be paraffin wax (petroleum), phthalates (stuff that makes plastic more durable), and lead-based wicks in your candles. We're always testing new alternatives to make your burn even safer. 

Our wax is made from 100% USA grown soybeans and our scents are custom blends of the highest quality essential and fragrance oils. We also use cotton wicks with woven paper threads for a clean, consistent burn. 

We strive to use biodegradable, recyclable, or reusable packaging wherever possible.

Thanks for shopping small!
