Our Story

A little hobby, a lot of love, and a family passion that grew into something special.

The people behind the brand

Hi, we are Tracy, Ella and Keira, the people behind Glisten and Glow Candles.

We are a small family-run business based in Essex, born from a mum and her two daughters discovering a shared love for creating beautiful things during lockdown. What started as a simple hobby to keep us busy and bring a little creativity into our days soon grew into something much more - a small business built on family, creativity and a love for making homes feel special.

From hand-poured candles and beautifully scented wax melts to elegant diffusers and unique jesmonite home decor, every product we create is made with care, attention to detail and a little piece of out family behind it. Our dad is part of the journey too, helping us out at local markets and supporting us as we share out creations with our community. As a family, we all play our part in bringing our little business to life, and that's what makes it so special to us.

Made with care, for a more thoughtful home

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. We use soy wax, cotton wicks and carefully selected fragrance oils in our products, alongside recyclable packaging materials to help reduce unnecessary waste. We believe that creating a cosy, inviting home can go hand in hand with making more considered choices.

Rather than mass-producing out products, we make everything in small batches, allowing us to focus on quality, consistency and the little details that make each piece special. We test our products to ensure they meet our standards before making their way into your home.

Thank you for supporting our small business.
