About NorthWood Candle & Craft

Welcome to NorthWood Candle & Craft, your go-to source for premium candle making supplies and DIY craft materials! Since 2010, we’ve been creating high-quality candles, and in 2016 we expanded to offer professional-grade candle, soap, and cosmetic components to makers like you—at wholesale prices.

We pride ourselves on selling the same high-quality materials we use in our own manufacturing, including:

  • Over 450 premium fragrance oils in inviting scents
  • Professional-quality soap bases and bath bomb molds
  • Candle wicks, wax blends, and colorants
  • Cosmetic ingredients and crafting tools

Whenever possible, we source products in the U.S., and we’re always open to adding new items you’d like to see in our shop. Learn more about our story and how we grew from a small candle manufacturer to a full-service supplier of DIY crafting and candle making materials.
