This Black-owned candle company offers affordable, hand-poured, soy wax candles in a multitude of scents. All of the candles are lead, paraben, paraffin and phthalate free, making them both great smelling and non-toxic. In addition to selling some of the best smelling candles around, The Raw Edition also hosts candle pouring classes.
If I could give six stars, I would! My wife and I had The absolute honor and blessing of having Ticca lead us through a candlemaking session on Valentine’s Day. I never expected to have as much fun and as many belly laughs pouring candles as we did with Ticca. Her energy is contagious and warm, her smile and positivity radiates, in all she does, and is clearly incredibly gifted at teaching. I really can’t say enough about her. It’s worth any amount. Book her. Buy her stuff. Support this brilliant business owner and amazing human!! Can’t say enough good things. Thank you Ticca!

Okay so this one is kind of lengthy but WORTH the read!
We got Raw Edition Candle Company to come to our community (Republic Flats) for a resident event called "Sip & Scents" to lead a candle-making class for our residents.
Working/ communicating with Ticca and her team was such a easy and seamless process. They were professional and so fast with their response times as this event was sort of last minute (about a week and a half to put the entire event together).
They were so friendly and fun to talk to, my first time meeting them felt like best friends meeting up after having not seeing each other in years! LOL
They educated us on what it means to make, burn, and care for our candles the right way!!! The essential oils she brought smelled so good that it was hard to choose which scent we wanted in our candles!
R.E.C.C also helped enhance our event by connecting us with Morrisa, owner of Board & Bliss! She put together 3 large AMAZING charcuterie boards for our event! the ingredients were fresh and tasty and the residents are still raving about the hot honey that was included! DELISH!!
These ladies truly exceeded my expectations with this event! The residents LOVED it and are still raving about how fun it was! They are already asking can we have them come back next month!!! LL
If you are looking for something different, yet fun to do, RUN DON'T WALK and check out Raw Edition Candle Company! It's a great way to not only educate yourself on what it means to be a chandler and walk away with some amazing scents, but to support local, black-owned, female-owned business as well!!! You won't regret it!!!

Awesome Experience! Just did a virtual candle session with Ticca. The candle making kit had everything that you need. Ticca was very knowledgeable and fun. Simple and great smelling. As person with asthma and allergies this was an experience! 10 out of 10 recommend.

I had a really great experience in their candle making session. The host was well spoken, high spirited, and really knowledgeable of the candle process and made everyone feel comfortable. I will definitely do another session and share my experience with my family so they may do the same.

The candle making experience was absolutely amazing. What made the experience special was Tica’s design of engagement amongst each participant, we all shared new experiences in different facets. I would recommend attending her events for a nice date, solo evening, or night out with friends.

Just hosted my 2nd business event at Raw Edition Candle Company. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Ticca & her team provided a great space & the perfect atmosphere. Clean, beautiful environment. Perfect for events. Highly recommend. Professional, kind, energetic team making everything a breeze. Had to buy a few of their incredible candles while I was there. They must be sources their scents directly from heaven because nothing else explains how these candles candle smell so amazing. I would recommend Ticca, her team, her products, her candle pouring experiences, and her space to everyone… except mean people.

This was my first candle making class and I LOVED it. I really enjoyed the personal touches and activities outside of creating the candles to make the time go by faster. I would definitely do this again and recommend this for anyone who is looking to celebrate any type of milestone in life. It will be a fun session to remember.

Absolutely AMAZING experience! We had a private birthday candle making session for my mother’s birthday and this was the perfect celebration. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the unique experience. Ticca was not only the best teacher and host but extremely passionate, knowledgeable, kind, fun, and inspiring. Thank you Ticca!

Outstanding experience we planned a candle party for a bridal shower. Not only was the class amazing. She closed the shop down and gave us a downtown tour of the local shops in Durham. 10/10 experience!!!
She also rents her space out for other small business owners.

Ms. Harris, you provided an awesome experience. The candle making class was amazing. I learned some much and enjoyed the final product. What made the experience the best was you taking the time to give us a tour of the area. You’re the best and I encourage all of you to come in to experience what I did.
