Glo candles, the art of tranquility.

For centuries, candles have been used to create a tranquil atmosphere and bring ambiance into a space. There is something so soul-soothing to lighting a hand-poured candle, and the aroma of smells can create a serene sanctuary.

Locally made in Cape Town, Sybil started off melting down her own candles, adding a few pieces of equipment here and there, and before she knew she had a bespoke product range. In the beginning all the candles were made using 100% recycled wax, but as the studio grew, virgin wax had to be incorporated. Sybil still tries to use as many reclaimed candles as possible and enjoys manipulating the colours by using coloured candles instead of dyes.

Sybil recommends making candles part of your nighttime routine. “Lighting a few candles encourages your mind and body to wind down. It’s a great way to end the day and be present with your loved ones.”
