When talking to other candle lovers, Goose Creek Candle products are often suggested as an alternative to Bath & Body Works. They\u2019re described as being less expensive and of higher quality, but I would like to know more about Goose Creek to determine if it\u2019s a good replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read on to learn how these companies compare so that you can make the best choice for your home fragrances.<\/p>\n\n\n
To start off the examination of each brand, it can help to know some basic information about each one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goose Creek Candle is a family-owned business that started in Liberty, Kentucky, USA, in 1998 by Chuck Meece.<\/strong> Their products are still made in the USA, and they are known to add three times the industry standard of fragrance into their candles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What they don\u2019t add to their formulas is unsafe or banned chemicals. Customers can burn these candles in their home without fear of toxins being released. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Even with high fragrance content, Goose Creek candles cost significantly less than most candle companies out there in their category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bath & Body Works<\/a> was founded in 1990 by Les Wexner.<\/strong> Originally based out of New Albany, Ohio, USA, the company still operates a few towns over in Reynoldsburg. Although the company is no longer owned by the Wexner family, Bath & Body Works still has a strong fan following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Similar to Goose Creek Candle, BBW adds a high amount of fragrance oils to their candles but the ingredients might not be as eco-friendly as Goose Creek Candle. Nor do they specify whether it\u2019s triple the industry standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a rumor that BBW candles are far more expensive than Goose Creek, but I haven\u2019t found that to be true. Their 3-Wick candles cost the same amount and Goose Creek Candle\u2019s 7 oz option actually costs $1 USD more than Bath & Body Works.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to home fragrances, both companies sell bath and body care products as well. As you can see below, Bath & Body Works offers many more options in these categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBath & Body Works Short Company Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
