OUR MANUFACTURING
SERVICES
A white label candle is a candle made by a professional manufacturer like MA CONCEPTION, then sold under your own brand. You choose the fragrance, the vessel, the label and the packaging — we handle all the manufacturing in our workshops near Lyon. It’s the ideal solution to launch your brand without investing in a production facility. Learn more →
Our private label candles are based on our catalogue: you choose from our vessels (4 colours) and our Grasse fragrances, then customise the label with your logo. Orders from just 50 units. Our custom candles go further: exclusive vessel, fragrance created specifically for you, packaging fully designed in your image. For custom projects, the minimum order is set according to your brief.
