Brighten Up Your Space with the Non-Toxic, Soy-Free Glow of Bee Coco Candle

What started as a “wild idea” retirement plan quickly became a mission-driven brand. Bee Coco Candle was founded by husband-and-wife team Eric and Noreen Francis in the suburbs of Chicago, with one simple goal: to create non-toxic, soy-free candles that are safe for people and pets.

Living with an autoimmune condition and sharing their home with a Staffordshire terrier and two cats, Noreen knew firsthand how hard it was to find truly clean-burning, fragrance-safe candles. Together, they set out to make a better option.

At Bee Coco Candle, every product is hand-poured using a coconut-apricot wax blend—free from soy, parabens, phthalates, and harmful toxins. Scents are thoughtfully crafted with safe, essential-oil-infused fragrances that are Prop 65 compliant and pet-conscious. They use only lead-free cotton wicks, and their minimalist jars are perfect for repurposing.

Bee Coco also offers beeswax melts, tea lights, and an unscented balm for dry skin and paw protection—each crafted with care using organic beeswax from a family farm in Kane County, Illinois.

We're committed to creating candles that bring joy and ambiance—without compromising on health or peace of mind. Experience the safest, highest-quality candle on the market—crafted for sensitive people, cozy homes, and conscious living.
