About No Coast Candle

Welcome to No Coast Candle! We started No Coast Candle in the fall of 2020 during quarantine making candles and wax melts out of our house. We started the company with a goal of making great smelling candles and wax melts at an affordable price. Choices are limited for brand name candles in rural Iowa without having to drive to the city to get them. Having to drive to the city is also a barrier for individuals who don’t have access to transportation or reliable transportation. To accomplish our goals, we started with selling wax melts only for $5. We started with 2oz melts then increased the size to 3oz net weight without increasing the cost. We also offered free delivery within 30 miles of Shenandoah, Iowa. In November 2020, we launch 8oz paraffin candles for $10. In July 2021, we did a massive re-launch. We switched our candles from paraffin wax to soy wax. We also added 16oz candles. There was a great demand for soy wax over paraffin wax since soy wax burns cleaner without the black soot that paraffin gives off. At the same time, we launched free shipping on orders $100 and for the orders who didn’t qualify, we did not mark up shipping. We did not want to make a profit from shipping that customers paid. Today, we still make 8oz candles, 16oz candles, wax melts, and hand soap with customers being our number one focus.Read their story
