Our Story

At Wick of Hope, we’re more than just candle makers—we’re a husband-and-wife team on a mission to create products that are kind to your home and the planet. Our candles are handcrafted with care, using non-toxic coconut soy wax and FSC-certified wooden wicks for a sustainable, clean burn.

But our purpose goes beyond creating beautiful candles. Through partnerships with i=Change and Greenspark, every purchase makes a positive impact. Together, we support global initiatives that uplift communities, empower lives, and protect the environment. From planting trees and rescuing ocean-bound plastic to restoring kelp forests and funding life-changing projects, your support helps us build a brighter, greener, and more intentional future—one candle at a time.

Who We Are

Wick of Hope was founded by Andy and Selvia in London, Ontario, inspired by a personal challenge, a shared passion, and our heritage. For Selvia, the scents of candles filling the home bring joy and peace. For Andy, traditional candles with paraffin wax and strong scents triggered headaches and asthma, leaving us searching for a safer way to enjoy them. One day, a friend casually suggested, “Why don’t you try making your own?” That simple idea sparked our journey to bring comfort and hope into homes.

Driven by our roots, we are committed to giving back, reflecting the resilience and generosity we learned from our community in London and beyond. For us, this is more than a business. It is our passion and our way of lighting up lives, one candle at a time. Thank you for joining us on this journey to create meaningful products that truly make a difference.

About Our Candles

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.

Coconut Soy Wax vs. Paraffin Wax

Coconut soy wax provides a clean, sustainable alternative to paraffin, which is derived from petroleum and contains harmful chemicals. It burns longer and cleaner, enhancing your space with subtle, natural fragrances.

Naturally Derived and GMO-Free

Extracted from coconuts and soybeans, our wax is 100% natural and GMO-free, ensuring a pure and safe option for your home environment without any genetic modifications.

Fragrances That Enhance, Not Overpower

Our carefully selected fragrances create a serene atmosphere, gently diffusing throughout your space without overwhelming it. Ideal for relaxation and mindful moments, our candles offer sustainable luxury for your home.
