New Braunfels Candle Co. has been bringing balanced, unique and hand-crafted scents to the community for nearly seven years. The business uses all-natural ingredients from the wick to the soy wax and specially curated oil blends.
Owners Michelle and Rex Rexilius began making candles with their daughter as a family project. Eventually, the hobby grew into selling some of their candles at local businesses around town and expanded into opening their own location and online store.
“I know that if you walk in here, you’re not going to see a lot of the same things that you see in other stores. ... So I feel like we’re unique in the sense that most of this stuff is handmade; we created it; and so it’s gonna be unique,” Michelle said.
New Braunfels Candle Co. also sells homemade bath and body products including bath bombs, beard oils, shower steamers and soaps. It offers pouring parties where groups or individuals can mix fragrances and create a candle of their own. It also released a line of signature fragrances that reflect the history and traditions of New Braunfels. The Plaza, Rivers Edge and Willkommen are the names of some of the candles.
