/ wilo / was born out of the desire to spread the value of self-care, mindful living, and self-appreciation. Richmond Truong, the founder of / wilo /,  started crafting candles as a stepping stone toward increasing awareness of the importance of incorporating self-care into one's daily routine. To be able to learn and grow while remaining in balance and harmony. We live in a reality where taking a single moment to check in with ourselves and see what our mind, body, and soul require is critical for our mental health.

Self-care can be in many forms and does not have to be such a luxury but simply taking five minutes to meditate is a form of self-care, applying your skincare is a form of self-care, lighting a candle and enjoying nothing but the aromas is a form of self-care. Self-care shouldn't be challenging, time-consuming, or budget-breaking. Self-care is supposed to help you feel refreshed and recharged.

OUR MATERIALS

We strive to only source our materials from Canadian-based suppliers with the highest quality. Our hand-poured soy candles are crafted from the purest of ingredients which includes; natural soy wax, lead-free cotton wicks, and the highest quality blend of phthalate-free and vegan essential and fragrance oils

We create all of our candles with the thought of the environment as we are highly motivated to source sustainable materials in all aspects of our business. Having everything made under one roof lowers our carbon footprint, while also creating in small quantities to maintain quality and to avoid unnecessary waste. We are always learning and yearning to improve on how we can contribute to improving our green practices.
