About Us
Here at Cordova Candle Co. we create more than just candles. Our candles are designed to capture the moments that are most important in life.
We are a small independent candle company, designing and manufacturing entirely out of our Victoria, BC studio.
A mother of three with a passion for family and a love of candles. For the past 30 years I have lived and raised my family in Cordova Bay, Victoria BC. Thus, Cordova Candle Co. was born.
Cordova Candle Co. was built on the idea of scent-memory connection through nostalgic scents that remind you of a place or time. I wanted to develop certain scent combinations to be mindful of different parts of the city that I enjoyed exploring with my children as they were growing up. Each candle is purposefully named after a different part of the city that we loved exploring and that we call home!
Our candles are hand-poured in small batches using sustainable ingredients and packaging. Our candles are cruelty-free, vegan, and made without the use of parabens, phthalates, petroleum or carcinogenic ingredients. Every candle is labeled and packaged with love by hand and will burn cleanly all the way down. Our fragrances will be sure to entice the senses and enhance your home, office or chosen space!
We encourage our customers to reuse or recycle our candle vessels rather than them ending up in a landfill. The candle jar can be recycled or re-purposed once the candle has been burned down. Once the jar is cleaned out, use it for storing makeup brushes, pens or flowers, or use our local jar return.
Our Victoria Hometown Collection is sure to please, and hopefully whisk you away to a special place of joy and love!
JAR RETURN
Help us reduce our waste and environmental foot print by returning your used candle jars to be recycled into new ones. Because we use 100% natural soy wax, we are able to easily clean up the glasses and reuse them for the next batch of candles, doing our bit for the planet one jar at a time.
You will receive a custom code when you return your used candle jars. Get $2.00 off per jar which can be used on a future order.
When returning your finished candle jars, don't worry if there’s wax left in the jar, we will clean them and get them ready for their new owner.
You can drop off your candle jar at:

CANDLE CARE
Keep the wick straight, centered and trimmed to 1/4" each time before lighting. The first time you light our candles, it's important to let the candle melt pool reach the edges of the jar. Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. For maximum performance, burn the candle for 2 to 4 hours at a time. Discontinue use if the wick has moved off centre.
Keep your candle out of reach of children and/or pets. Keep lit candle away from flammable items and never leave it unattended.
Follow the burning instructions on the sticker on the bottom of your candle.
About Soy Wax
Soy is an all natural, clean burning wax, made from the oil of soybeans, not only making it a safe and natural alternative to petroleum-based paraffin, but also renewable and biodegradable.
Unlike paraffin wax, soy wax does not release toxins and harmful carcinogens into the air while burning.
Soy candles will burn cleanly and slowly all the way down and lasts up to 30-50% longer, producing approximately 90% less soot than paraffin wax.
About our Fragrances
We use only phthalate free fragrance oils and all natural essential oils.
