PASSIONATE ABOUT ESSENTIAL OILS     

Our Story

​

Wye Wicks grew out of a love of aromatherapy, a passion for candles and natural home fragrances, and a need to live a more sustainable and balanced life.  Based in the beautiful north Wye Valley, sustainability and well-being is at the heart of everything we do.  Not only do our products smell amazing, but they also deliver a well-being boost you can only get from essential oils. 

​

Having first trained as an aromatherapist over 30 years ago, Cheryl is passionate about the benefits of essential oils which have woven their way throughout our everyday life.  It was a chance conversation about our daughter's severe allergies and anaphylactic reactions, and her love of candles that prompted us to look more closely at the ingredients found in commercial candles which proved to be a revelation.  This led Cheryl to begin making natural candles and home fragrances on our kitchen table using her own tried and trusted essential oil blends.  

​

The candles proved to be a huge hit not only with our daughter but with friends and family too, and before we knew it Wye Wicks was born!  A true family business that started life on our kitchen table, Wye Wicks has quickly grown with a loyal and discerning customer base who, like us, are passionate about wellbeing, quality and sustainability. 

​

True to our mission we only use natural vegan-friendly soy wax which is responsibly sourced from Europe.  Made from soybeans, our wax doesn't contain any palm oils and doesn't contribute to deforestation.  We're proud to work with a supplier who prioritises using biodegradable, sustainably sourced ingredients with minimal environmental impact.  Soy wax is clean-burning and doesn't release toxins or pollutants which means it's also less likely to trigger allergies or asthma. 

 

Our essential oils are sourced from trusted, long-term suppliers.  Provenance and knowing an oil has been responsibly harvested is really important to us.  As is not using oils sourced from botanicals that are at risk or endangered.  We also don't use synthetic fragrance oils which have no therapeutic benefit at all and often contain nasties such as parabens and phthalates.  The only ingredients you'll see on our labels naturally occur in the essential oils we use.  This means you can be confident there are no synthetic additives, scent enhancers, preservatives or colourings in our range.  

 

We're proud of the brand we've created and hope you enjoy using our products as much as we love making them.
