Why the name Witchwood Wax
"Witches" get a bad wrap but by nature, we are the natural healers— the shamans, the medicine men and women— who use the gifts of mother nature to support our wellbeing. At Witchwood Wax, we embrace that legacy.
Witchwood Wax was made to challenge the norm of big-box candle sellers. Many of these big-box retailers sell candles made with paraffin wax, a petroleum byproduct which is known to release carcinogens into your home. Our candles are made with clean, natural soy wax and cotton wicks ensuring the cleanest burn for both the environment and your health.
We extend that care with the use our our paraben and phthalate-free fragrance oils— meaning no harsh endocrine disruptors for a hormone friendly, great scent. The same commitment extends to our room and linen sprays, which use a proprietary alcohol-based formula to dissipate odors and refresh your space naturally. They’re long-lasting and pet-friendly.
Witchwood Wax was born from personal necessity. After discovering the harmful ingredients in conventional candles, I knew I couldn’t keep sacrificing my daughter’s or my health. That led me to create some of the cleanest fragrances without sacrificing scent or style— products that I feel safe using in our home every day.
The Owner Behind the Brand
I started pouring candles as a hobby shortly after I had my daughter in 2021 to distract myself from my personal chronic pain and day to day chaos.
Parenthood threw us in for a wild journey when my daughter was placed in the NICU, diagnosed with Stickler Syndrome and Pierre Robin Sequence, causing her to need 3 surgeries within her first 14 months. Candle making became my bliss during this chaotic time in our lives.
Overtime, I grew my love for creating clean, non-toxic household fragrances into a business— products that I use in our home daily. I am blessed to say that these days, my daughter is not only healthy and remembers none of her initial health complications, but she even helps me create amazing scents for my business. :)
