Candlewhips' First Candles Journey

Candlewhip's candle-making journey began in January 2022 in the living room of a family home in Dagenham, Essex, behind Covid 19 Pandemic. Candlewhip was inspired by generosity to give people hope by manufacturing candles and presenting them to her neighbours to bring light and reassurance during the terrible months of Covid 19.
She also prepared wax melts and sent them to the people she cares for in a forensic unit. She advised them to utilise it as a natural aroma source in their bedrooms. This motivated her to create a product based on emotion and feelings.

Our entire journey has been one of discovery and learning.
From discovering our love for our climate and nature to learning how to manufacture delightfully fragrant candles. Everything has prepared us for the journey ahead.
We had to redesign ourselves to reflect what we believe in, which is that kindness triumphs above all else in life, and this concept is truly practiced here at Candlewhip.

In the early stages of our journey, we also resolved to stay on track with making our environment and climate-safe for people to live in harmony.
As a result, we no longer stock balloons and instead invite customers to return their candle wine glasses for a big discount on their next order; we will wash and reuse these glasses. We also chose basic kraft packaging for shipping our merchandise. In the same vein, our candle products do not include lids. We are confident that our customers will join us in taking these small actions to protect the environment.
