Root Candles' founding father, Amos Ives Root, was a shining example of the American spirit. Known as "the father of modern day beekeeping", A. I. was a gentleman of integrity and scientific curiosity who was just at home in the pulpit as he was addressing a Congressional hearing.
The Root Company's early honey and beeswax enterprise turned to candlemaking in 1928 at the request of a local priest looking for higher quality candles. Today, Root remains a leader in Liturgical candles as well as producing beautiful candles with lovely fragrances for your home. Nothing can compare to the quality of a Root Candle. Each is carefully handcrafted using processes mastered through five generations of craftsmanship combined with the latest in manufacturing technologies. The results are pure and simple: lasting fragrances, rich colors, longer and cleaner burning, uniquely appealing textures, and honestly the finest candles you can buy.
Now in its fifth generation, the Root family continues to extol the virtues of honesty, integrity, and plain old hard work, that exemplifies their company.
