About Us
Get to know the minds behind Twisted Wicks…
The Spark
We didn’t start Twisted Wicks because we love candles. We started it because we were sick of the ones that all smelled the same. Trust us, the world didn’t need another “hand-poured soy blend” in a beige jar labeled “calming lavender”. We wanted something different, something that hit harder, something with backbone. We wanted scents that tell the truth; packaging with personality, and flames with a little rebellion behind them.
The Makers
We are Daniel & Shannon McCaghren, co-owners, operators, partners, and resident troublemakers. After 15 years as an industrial process technician, Daniel traded the refinery fumes for melted wax.
Shannon brought the marketing brain and creative edge to keep it all grounded…and twisted. Together, we mix chemistry and chaos, science with sarcasm, and pour every candle with the precision of an explosives technician.
The Problem
The candle aisle has lost its soul. Every candle too polished, too fake, too predictable, too boring! We wanted to fix that. We wanted to make something that didn’t whisper; we wanted ours to growl. We wanted scents that come out swinging, with names that make people smirk, and craftsmanship that actually delivers on the burn. Every scent, every label, every flame had to have personality and not just be another product.
The Twist
So we made our own rules:
- We mix chemistry with character.
- Each batch is small, tested, retested, and documented like an obsessed mad scientist on adderal.
- We don’t chase trends—we build formulas that perform with clean burns, strong throws, and absolutely zero bull$#%*!
- We use industrial grade precision with boss-level creativity and Gen-X attitude.
The Belief
A candle isn’t just fragrance —it’s a ritual, a reminder, a mood. We believe scent should hit a nerve (the right nerve) and every candle should tell a story that’s worth striking a match for. We want our candles to spark emotion, evoke a memory or mischief as the case may be, but never indifference!
The Invitation
We know this brand isn’t for everyone, but it is for the ones that roll their eyes at basic, who laugh a little too loud, and work too hard. It’s for the ones that light their own damn path and refuse to blend-in. When you light a Twisted Wicks candle, you’re joining us in the fight against boring. So strike the match, burn the rules!
Proof in the Pour
Every batch, every wick, every pour is tweaked until it burns just right. Every label, every blend, and every joke is intentional. We take our craft seriously. We don’t just talk about craftsmanship—we live it with refined procedures, optimized workflows, and ridiculously high quality control standards.
That’s the Twisted Wicks difference; performance driven, the attitude is just a bonus!
If you are tired of the same ole, same ole you find on the candle aisle and you feel that life is too short for boring, explore our collections, find your scent, & get twisted with us!
Welcome to Twisted Wicks. We hope you join us on our journey!
