denver Local

We are Denver local, with our headquarters, studio, and retail shop tucked into the beautiful Berkley neighborhood. We love to support our neighborhood retailers & local artisans.

Small batch

Our hand-poured candles are made of 100% natural soy wax from U.S. grown soybeans, cotton wicks and high-quality essential oils – creating a longer, elegant, cleaner burn.

What happens when a professional chef – devoted to flavor and experience – transfers her decades of experience into another business dedicated to memory making? The precision and beauty of Wooly Wax candles and home goods.

For each bespoke scent she creates, Rachel Woolcott works backward from memory. Either from her own life or those of her clients. As a child, Rachel would sneak into her father’s study where she would imbibe a comforting bouquet of leather, wood and scotch – this memory inspired the Wooly Wax Burmese Teakwood candle.

On most days, you’ll find Rachel formulating and pouring her creations with careful precision. Her love for creating mood and energy is apparent in the aesthetic of Wooly Wax headquarters and retail shop located in the Berkley neighborhood of Denver. Stop by to see Wooly Wax production in action – and maybe create your own tailored scent. 

“We love the history of Wooly Wax and unique stories that are behind each candle. The quality and uniqueness of the different scents keeps us coming back for more!”
— Lacey Manuel, Museum of Contemporary Art Denver

quality ingredients

  With our goods, sometimes it’s more about what we keep out than what goes in: no parabens, no phthalates, no sulfates, no animal testing, no dyes, and no chemicals.

candle Safety

Don’t leave unattended and be sure to keep children and pets out of reach. Keep candles from drafty areas and let cool completely before handling. 

tips for a Killer burn

For the intial burn, trim wick to 1/4 inch and light for a few hours until the entire top is liquified. This creates a wax 'memory', ensuring even melt and longer burn.
