About Us

Wick & Wax Apothecary was founded by Joanna, a home decor enthusiast with a deep appreciation for the apothecary aesthetic. Her candle-making journey began as a hobby during an unusually warm Midwest winter. Unable to enjoy her wood-burning fireplace, she sought a way to replicate the cozy ambiance that she loved. Anyone who knows Joanna knows that when she commits, she commits 200%. She fell in love with the craft, dedicating herself to the extensive learning process. She meticulously tested and compared over 20 types of wicks and waxes to understand their unique traits and tendencies. This unwavering commitment and passion quickly ignited the spark that led to the creation of our small business.

The name Wick & Wax Apothecary pays homage to the essential elements of our craft. Each candle we produce is a testament to the countless hours spent perfecting the balance of wick and wax, ensuring a clean and beautiful burn. The word "apothecary" reflects the old-fashioned herbal and medicinal shops that served with the intent to heal. Our modern-day apothecary echoes this tradition, offering vintage style and a wide selection of scents, providing our customers with a remedy for every occasion.

We are committed to providing high-quality, handcrafted candles that elevate the ambiance of any space. Our belief is that luxury should be sustainable and affordable.
