Welcome to my Wick’d story

My candle-making journey began in the most unexpected way - during lockdown, when I was gifted a candle-making kit. I was so excited to try it out, but when I did, the results were horrendous and not what I had hoped for.  I didn't know at the time, but the wax was paraffin, and the fragrance was so overpowering it gave me a headache! At that point, I didn’t know much about the different types of wax or the hidden dangers lurking in the everyday candles we burn at home.

Determined to make something better, I decided to dive deeper and enrolled in a Candle Making Course with the Centre of Excellence. That’s when I was shocked to learn the truth about paraffin wax—it’s linked to respiratory issues, and even cancer. Plus, I discovered that parabens and phthalates, commonly found in candles, can seriously harm our health and the environment. This was a real turning point for me. I knew I wanted to create candles, but I was committed to making something that was safe, healthy, and eco-friendly.
