Our story
From a Softer Scent Idea to a New Kind of Escape
CharGlow began with a desire to create a candle that felt softer, simpler, and less overwhelming in the home. That original idea became our Signature Collection. As we listened to customers and continued experimenting with fragrance, CharGlow evolved into something broader: a candle brand designed for both subtle everyday calm and richer, fragrance-filled escapes.
The Original CharGlow Formula
CharGlow began with a desire for a softer, more understated scent experience. Our original Signature Collection combines soy wax, essential oils, cotton wicks, and activated charcoal.
Lightly scented and intentionally subtle, Signature became the foundation of the CharGlow brand.
Introducing the Escape Collection
As CharGlow grew, we discovered that not every moment calls for the same kind of candle. Some customers loved the softness of Signature, while others wanted richer, more expressive fragrance.
That inspired Escape—a fragrance-forward collection built around layered scents, memorable places, and the feeling of getting away.
Choose the Experience That Fits Your Space
Choose Escape when you want a richer fragrance that helps shape the mood of a room.
Choose Signature when you prefer an essential-oil-based candle with a softer scent presence.
Two distinct fragrance experiences, both unmistakably CharGlow.
Designed Beyond the Final Burn
Our ceramic vessels are designed to live beyond the final burn—ready to be cleaned, repurposed, and enjoyed throughout your home.
Thoughtful packaging and small-batch production reflect the same intention we bring to every candle we make.
Made in New Jersey. Inspired by Everywhere.
CharGlow is an independent candle company created in New Jersey, inspired by the scents, places, seasons, and everyday rituals that make a space feel personal.
What began with one distinctive candle has grown into two different fragrance experiences—with more places still left to explore.
WHAT GOES INTO EVERY CANDLE
Thoughtfully Crafted From Start to Finish
Every CharGlow candle begins with carefully selected materials chosen for quality, performance, and the experience they create in your home. From 100% soy wax and cotton wicks to our fragrance and essential oil blends, every element is thoughtfully considered.
100% Soy Wax
A plant-based wax selected for its smooth burn, beautiful finish, and ability to carry fragrance throughout your space.
Cotton Wicks
Carefully selected cotton wicks help create a consistent flame and balanced burn throughout the life of the candle.
Thoughtful Fragrance
Our Signature Collection uses pure essential oils for a softer scent experience, while Escape uses premium fragrance oils for richer, more expressive fragrance.
Reusable Ceramic Vessels
Our signature ceramic vessels are designed to live beyond the final burn and can be cleaned and repurposed throughout your home.
Activated Charcoal
Featured in our Signature Collection, activated charcoal is part of the original CharGlow formula and gives the collection its distinctive character and identity.
