In Vandalia, Illinois. We don't outsource the messy part — every batch is poured, cured, and checked under the same roof, by the same hands, so nothing leaves that we wouldn't burn ourselves.
Soy wax grown from US beans, fragrance oils blended for a clean throw, and lead-free cotton wicks. No paraffin, no phthalates, no dyes, no shortcuts. The label is short on purpose — what's listed is what's there.
Trim the wick to a quarter inch before each light. On the first burn, wait until the wax melts edge to edge — that sets the memory pool and stops tunneling. Keep sessions to two or three hours, sit the jar on something heat-safe, and retire it when a half-inch of wax remains.
Soy burns cooler and slower, so a jar lasts longer and lets the fragrance unfold instead of hitting all at once. It's a renewable crop, throws barely any soot, and washes out with warm water — kinder to the air, the walls, and the jar when you're done.
Before a scent ever reaches the shelf we burn it ourselves, in a few rooms, over a few evenings. Then each batch is poured by hand, cured for the right length of time, and inspected for melt pool, throw, wick behavior, and finish. Anything off stays behind.
Yes — custom labels, curated scent sets, and larger runs for weddings, showers, corporate gifts, and private-label shelves. Tell us the date, the count, and the feel you're after at info@woodlandlaneco.com and we'll send back options, pricing, and a realistic timeline.
They are. No animal-derived ingredients, no animal testing, anywhere in the supply chain. Soy wax is plant-based, our wicks are cotton, and the fragrance oils are phthalate-free.
