Whether you run a handmade candle business, enjoy crafting your own candles for fun or are just looking to pick up a fun new hobby, Central Illinois Candle Supply is the perfect place to source your candle-making materials locally. Founded in 2022, the Colfax-based company, run by father-daughter team Kent Janssen and Lauren Wyant, sells high-quality, thoughtfully sourced supplies to candlemakers across the Midwest and beyond.

Frustrated with inflated shipping costs and impersonal service, Janssen and Wyant set out to provide reasonably priced materials with quick shipping and a positive customer experience. The company now supplies everything from soy and coconut candle wax to wicks, clamshells and an extensive line of fragrance oils. Their bestselling fragrance oil options include classic scents like Burnt Vanilla, Sugared Lemon and Cedar Musk, in addition to creative aromas such as Thunderstorm (featuring notes of vetiver, melon, tree moss and golden amber), Sweater Weather (an autumn-inspired scent with notes of apple, musk and moss), Marshmallow Frosted Pumpkin (with notes of creamy vanilla, warm cinnamon and sweet marshmallow) and many more.

    Yippee! Im so excited to find you! I live by Atlanta Ga. I grew up and own property in Vandalia, Illinois though. I started my Jam business in 2021 right after my breast cancer diagnosis. Im doing well now. I have incorporated candles and love making them. Looking for different fragrances for sure! Pam Bainski.
