Our Story

In the heart of Taos, New Mexico, passionate candlebenders came together to form Taos Wicks. Our story is as real and down-to-earth as the vibrant town we call home.

Taos Wicks was born from a shared love for the stunning scenery, the aromatic notes in the air, and the thriving arts and culture that make Taos unique. Growing up surrounded by the breathtaking Taos mountains, we couldn't help but be inspired by the beauty of this place. Our candles are an extension of this artistic spirit, each scent carefully crafted to transport you through the seasons of Taos. Let Taos Wicks illuminate your life with authentic, decorative pieces that encapsulate the heart and soul of our town.

Our journey started with a simple idea: why not capture the essence of Taos in a candle? We wanted to share the magic of this town with the world while offering a sustainable alternative to the mainstream candle market. That's where soy wax came in, a clean and eco-friendly choice.

Every Taos Wicks candle is hand-poured with the same care and attention that our town's artisans put into their craft. We've worked hard to create scents that transport you through the seasons of Taos, from the crisp winters to the vibrant springs, the scorching summers to the golden autumns.

When you light a Taos Wicks candle, you're not just getting a candle; you're getting a piece of Taos. It's our way of sharing the sights, scents, and spirit of our town with you, in a way that's as genuine as our love for Taos.

As you light a Taos Wicks candle, you're not just experiencing a scent—you're immersing yourself in the authentic spirit of Taos, New Mexico, as seen through the eyes of our local photographs and lovingly captured by our candlebenders. Let our candles bring a touch of Taos to your world, and may they ignite a connection to the real, down-to-earth beauty of this place we're proud to call home.

At Taos Wicks, our mission is twofold: to celebrate the beauty, culture, and traditions of Taos, while also shedding light on its challenges. We are committed to breaking down the stereotypes surrounding mental health issues and encouraging the acceptance of help.

Mental health holds a special place in our hearts, which is why a portion of our sales will be dedicated to improving mental well-being in northern New Mexico.

Taos Wicks proudly presents our Mental Health Awareness initiative, a symbol of your support for a cause that is both powerful and compassionate. Together, we can inspire positive change and make a lasting impact on our community's mental health.
