We're Andy and Selvia, the husband and wife behind Wick of Hope. We've been together since high school. We got married young, and somewhere along the way decided we wanted to build something of our own.

Selvia's parents had always pushed her to start a business. We'd tried before, and those tries didn't work. So when we started talking about doing it again, there was a lot of doubt.

What pushed us forward wasn't ambition. It was everything we were going through privately. Around the time we were dreaming up this company, we lost two pregnancies. Our first miscarriage was the hardest. We saw the heartbeat, and a short while later we were told the news no parent ever wants to hear.

We didn't talk about it much back then. Most people who lose a pregnancy don't. But it changed us, and it changed what we wanted this brand to be.

We named it Wick of Hope because hope is a word everyone carries differently. The wick is the struggle, the hard parts, the seasons where you wonder if you have anything left to give. The flame is the hope. Small, steady, sometimes the only light in the room.

Every candle we pour is built around that idea.

Andy and Selvia. Husband and wife. Co-founders, candle-makers, and the two people behind every order that leaves our small studio in London, Ontario.

We're a family-run company, hand-pouring candles in small batches with non-toxic coconut soy wax and FSC-certified wooden wicks. We use the cleaner stuff because we wanted the candles in our own home to be clean first, and we make them the slow way because we don't know how to do it any other way.

We're proudly Ontario Made, proudly small, and proudly first-generation Canadians who started this with no investors, no shortcuts, and no plan to ever make this anything but a family business. Just the two of us, a team we love, and you.

Hope doesn't end at your front door.

Every candle you light helps fund something bigger than itself. Through our partnership with i=Change, every order contributes to a cause you choose at checkout: planting trees, supporting women's health, lifting communities out of poverty. Through Greenspark, every candle helps fund ocean plastic recovery, kelp forest restoration, and reforestation projects around the world.

It means the flame in your living room is also a tree being planted somewhere, a piece of plastic being pulled from the ocean, a small piece of hope traveling further than your home.

That's the part of this we love most.

At Wick of Hope, we prioritize the environment and safety with every ingredient. Our candles feature coconut soy wax, a clean, sustainable choice that ensures a gentle and eco-friendly alternative to traditional waxes.

Why Choose Coconut Soy Wax Over Beeswax?

Vegan and Cruelty-Free: Unlike beeswax, coconut soy wax is a plant-based option supporting our cruelty-free commitment.

Sustainable: Sourced from renewable coconuts and soybeans, it regenerates faster than beeswax, which requires more resources and labor.

Cleaner Burn: It burns cleaner than paraffin and beeswax, emitting less soot and ensuring a purer atmosphere and longer enjoyment.
