Welcome to African Wax

About Us

African Wax was established in 2003 to service the candle machine industry.

The original company, Eve's Industries, established in 1998, manufactured candle making machinery, from which candle making was a natural progression. African Wax has specialized in the manufacture of finest quality machine & hand made candles. The materials are carefully sourced from Europe, America, Asia & South Africa.

The waxes are blended to give the best burning time while the wick is matched to the specific diameter & oil content of each candle type. Each hand painted candle is unique and crafted to a set design and the dyes used are fade resistant. The warm vibrant colours are inspired by our rich and diverse cultural history. Let the warmth of Africa touch your soul.

Unity Candles are often incorporated into the wedding ceremony, as this represents the coming together of the couple & their families. These hand decorated candles are decorated to suit the wedding colours, with ribbon to compliment the colour scheme & beading to add bling. These can either be candles with pictures or verses printed onto candles, or hand engraved candles. Include loved ones who have passed away with a memorial candle at your wedding ceremony.

Wedding Invitations, Menu’s, Programme, Table Numbers: These candles are multipurpose; all are personalized to suit your décor theme and are placed on the tables. They serve as décor as well as create the ideal ambiance for your wedding day.

Thank you gifts or bonbonerie: A personalized thank you message can be printed onto a smaller candle, and given away as  gifts to the guests.
