Torc Candles

Founded in 1968 by Padraig Lennon and his three close friends, Torc Candles is nestled in the foothills of Mount Leinster, in the picturesque village of Borris, Co Carlow. Our journey began with a singular aspiration – to become master chandlers.

While the exact formula is a well-kept secret, all the ingredients for Torc Candles and Diffusers are environmentally friendly. Over many years of research and development, Torc have  created a blend of natural waxes that make the most perfect candle possible. Our candles are all made of food-grade wax, which means they’re vegan-friendly.

As of 2022, Torc Candles have reduced the amount of plastic used in Torc by 40%. To do this, we have changed our labels from plastic to paper, and instead of using bubble wrap, we have made the switch to recyclable shredded paper.
