Candles have been used for thousands of years. At the beginning, they were mostly used as a small and portable source of light. You could simply light a candle and carry it with you wherever you want, lighting up the darkness and helping people travel, navigate dark spaces, or even use them as signals at night. Fast forward to the modern day, and we’ve now technology like light bulbs and LEDs to provide us with light. But with that said, candles aren’t completely out of fashion nor are they useless in the presence of modern technology!

Candles are still widely used as a backup light source, such as if your power goes out, and they’re also used for the wonderful mood they create. We also can’t ignore the power of scented candles and their ability to create comforting atmospheres that can relieve stress, anxiety, and depression. Candles still serve many different uses today–albeit on a mass-produced scale!

But despite how easy and inexpensive it can be to pick up a pack of scented candles, there’s still a huge demand for hand-poured candles–such as our own! These candles are made with love and care by our skilled and experienced artisans, and they offer a huge range of benefits compared to the mass-produced kind that you might see in supermarkets.

In this post, we’re going to cover the beauty of hand-poured candles and why you might want to consider them over the mass-produced kind!

We put our history of candle making into every product we create!

One of the beautiful things about our hand-poured candles is that we put our heart, soul, and legacy into every product we create. Having been in business since 1970, our history in candle making goes back several decades. We’re a family business that is currently in its second generation, and our techniques have been kept the same since then. We use the same processes that were used hundreds of years ago, using the same processes and techniques that would have been used back then. This is to create a superior product with an artisan’s touch–but that doesn’t mean we don’t use modern technology either!

Sometimes, smaller products that we make call for the use of technology and large pieces of equipment in order to produce things faster. But with that said, we still maintain our high-quality standards by ensuring that each candle is hand-poured and inspected before we dare to ship them to our customers. By combining these traditional candle making methods with new ideas and modern technology, we can create a wide variety of beautiful hand-poured candles for our customers.

We also get creative with our candles when we make them! Our experience and knowledge in the field allow us to make some incredible and charming hand-poured candles. A great example of this would be our concrete log scented candles. These are unique candles that are made with premium-grade coconut soy blended wax and unique scents to create a one-of-a-kind aroma when they’re burned. They’re hand-poured into these beautiful concrete log casts, giving them a rustic and charming look that you won’t find anywhere else!

The beauty of a hand-made candle isn’t just in the look it has or the scent it creates–they can also carry stories and history! Our artisans pour every ounce of passion and love that they have into our candles because they care about delivering an outstanding product, but also because they want to continue honoring the legacy that Rich Hill Candles has built.

We offer a huge selection in our online candle shop, so there’s something for everyone!

One of the great things about working with a mix of traditional techniques and modern equipment is that we can create a lot of unique hand-poured candles. However, we also need to keep in mind that we have to appeal to a very diverse audience!

We also have a number of different categories for you to pick from, such as pillars, jars, tealights, and even seasonal candles that are just perfect for various occasions.

It’s a fruity and nostalgic scent that our customers love, and it’s perfect for the autumn season when you want to create some cozy and relaxing vibes in your home.

Hand-pouring candles give us more control over the quality of our products

It should come as no surprise that mass-produced candles can often come with defects and problems due to the process they are made with. There’s still some level of quality control when these products are made, but they’re not produced by skilled candle makers with decades of experience. Since we’ve been in the business for so long, we know from both sight and smell when something is wrong or different with a candle.

Our hand-poured candles are created and inspected by real artisans, giving us far more control over the production process. This ensures that every product we create meets our high standards, resulting in a perfect product for each of our customers. We pay attention to the small details as well. We make sure there are no defects in the candle, we ensure the right products are being used, and we know when the aromas are off so we can adjust it during the production process.

Another benefit of having hand-poured candles is that you can ensure we never use toxic chemicals and other nasty materials in our products. If we did, then it would pose a risk to everyone in the workplace that makes candles! This isn't a problem for mass-produced candles as everything is done by machines in a controlled facility, meaning there’s no need to worry about employee safety. On the other hand, candle making artisans do have to worry about things like toxic chemicals as we’re constantly surrounded by our products.

As such, you can have peace of mind knowing that Rich Hill Candles does not use toxic chemicals and questionable ingredients for our hand-poured candles. Everything from the wax itself to the materials we use for scents is safe and natural. Having a human hand in the production process of our candles is about more than just adding the “handmade” label–it’s also about creating a safe product that we stand behind and knowing exactly what goes into each of our products!

And finally, hand-pouring our candles means we create a lot less waste. When making candles on a smaller scale like us, we need to be careful about how much product we order. We don’t have massive factories to make our candles for us, so we need to ensure that every bit of our raw materials goes into a candle and isn’t thrown away! We also make use of any leftover materials to create custom candles and unique items that we might consider adding to our lineup! Our artisans love to get creative and you can ensure that we never waste our materials.
