Why Calyan Wax Co. Is One of the Best Clean Candle Brands That Gives Back

by Katie Burkhart

When you light a Calyan candle, you’re doing more than filling your home with a warm, comforting scent—you’re standing up for justice and dignity.

At Calyan Wax Co., our mission is simple: create beautiful, clean-burning candles that make a difference. Through every purchase, you're supporting the fight against human trafficking right here in the United States.

If you're looking for a non-toxic candle brand that delivers on quality and purpose, here’s why Calyan Wax Co. belongs at the top of your list.

What Makes a “Clean” Candle Brand?

Not all candles are created equal. Many traditional candles on the market are made with paraffin wax (a petroleum byproduct), synthetic dyes, and fragrances that contain harmful chemicals like phthalates and parabens. These ingredients can release toxins into the air when burned—hardly the kind of “cozy” most people are going for.

That’s why clean candles are becoming the new standard.

At Calyan, every candle is made with:

  • 100% soy wax (renewable, biodegradable, and clean-burning)

  • Lead-free cotton wicks

  • Fragrances free from parabens, phthalates, and other toxins

We believe your home should be a safe space, and that includes the air you breathe. 

Our Mission: Candles That Give Back

Calyan Wax Co. was founded with a deep purpose. Our founder, Jacob Johnson, learned about the realities of human trafficking through a personal connection—and he couldn’t look away.

What began as a desire to help has grown into a thriving candle company that’s raised over $750,000+ to support anti-trafficking efforts in the U.S.

We donate 5% of all profit to our trusted non-profit partners, like the Justice Defense Fund, which supports law enforcement and legal action against trafficking networks. Your purchase helps fund rescue missions, survivor care, and long-term restoration.

“You’re not just buying a candle—you’re taking a stand for freedom.”
