From the Founder

The Candle Standard was created by a candle manufacturer with years of experience in product development, large-scale production, and performance testing.

After working behind the scenes across multiple brands, it became clear that the industry lacked a consistent way to evaluate results.

This platform was built to bring that structure forward.
