A Simple Way to Shop for Candles with Confidence
NCA Pure Glow Assurance™
A favorite candle can make everyday moments feel a little more special, from a quiet evening at home to finding just the right gift. NCA Pure Glow Assurance™ helps you get to know the companies behind the candles you love, so you can shop with more confidence and enjoy choosing your next favorite scent.
What is NCA Pure Glow Assurance™?
Created by the National Candle Association (NCA), NCA Pure Glow Assurance™ helps you discover participating brands and products through an easy-to-explore directory. It introduces you to candle makers committed to responsible production, quality formulation and testing, and recognized candle safety guidelines.
Why does it matter? You might first fall for a candle fragrance or a beautiful jar, and that’s part of the fun. But the care that goes into making and testing matters, too. With so many options to explore, the NCA Pure Glow Assurance™ helps you learn about those behind-the-scenes commitments, giving you more to go on as you choose a candle that feels right for you.
What can you learn about the candle makers?
Get to know participating manufacturers and brands that:
- Put safety first by meeting or exceeding industry standards and following recognized candle safety guidelines.
- Take care with formulation and testing, because the way a candle’s parts work together matters to how it performs and how you use it safely.
- Keep learning about trends and innovations, staying up to date on candle design and how candles are made.
- Care about corporate responsibility, recognizing that how they do business matters just as much as what they make.
- Support a fair and responsible marketplace, helping build trust between candle makers and shoppers like you.
How can it help you shop with confidence?
- Take a look around. Browse the directory to discover participating brands and products. You might spot a familiar favorite or find something new to try.
- Get to know the brand. Explore the available links and brand information for a closer look at your options before you buy.
- Find your fit. From fragrance and style to size and where you’ll enjoy it, choose a candle that suits your home. Keep the candle maker’s commitment to quality and safety in mind and take a moment to read the label and care instructions.
NCA Pure Glow Assurance™ is one helpful part of your shopping journey. The directory highlights participating NCA member companies and their commitments, but you’ll still want to read each candle’s product information and follow its safe-use instructions, as every candle needs thoughtful care.
Bring home the glow, and a little candle care
Once you’ve found a favorite, always follow the manufacturer’s directions. Set your candle on a stable surface away from anything that can catch fire, keep it out of reach of children and pets, and never leave it burning unattended. A few thoughtful habits help you enjoy your candle responsibly.
Your next favorite candle is waiting to be discovered. Explore the NCA Pure Glow Assurance™ directory, get to know participating brands, and find a glow that feels right for you.
