Wilfred Wax is a small, family owned candle company that operates out of a cozy (yes, warm and small) kitchen in the Chicago suburbs. We use all natural soy wax to hand-pour soy candles with unique and memorable fragrance blends. The company is named after the dragon who appears in our logo (Wilfred), an imaginary character about whom Kenyon hopes to someday write a children's book.
So why soy candles? We totally dig soy wax. We love how it looks, how it smells, and its American-grown ingredients. We even love its eccentricities; soy wax is stubborn, opinionated, and frankly, takes some getting used to. But it's worth it! Made with all-natural soy wax sourced from soybean farms, our candles burn cleaner, last longer, and smell stronger than other petroleum-based paraffin candles. We pour (pun intended) ourselves into making every batch excellent. |
Allow us to introduce ourselves.
Kenyon is the master candle-pourer. We all participate in candle creating and fragrance blending, but only under his watchful eye. Banker by day; chandler by night.

Michelle is Kenyon's wife and Wilfred's publicist. Candle-pouring and fragrance development is part of her job, but her speciality is print & web design. During the day, Michelle is a doctoral student. She reads for a living.

Chris is Michelle's brother, a gifted entrepreneur, and the official Wilfred Wax morale booster. He helps with fragrance development, sales, and motivational one-liners.
