11th Soul has been pouring their beautiful range of candles in Melbourne since 2016. It's important that each and every one of the candles they pour stay true to their original idea, so they will always be lovingly hand-poured, made in small batches, use unique combinations of scents and only ever be made using natural soy wax and high quality wicks.
This way they can be sure their candles will burn as elegantly as they look, and beautifully scent your home and work spaces, just as they do ours.
BOO & WOO - charitable causes
Boo & Woo is a product born out of iso desperation. After being stood down from two jobs in mid March, in an attempt to engage the family in some hands on creative learning, we purchased some soy wax, colours, and a few scents. It was time to get this into production.
Every dollar that came in was reinvested in wax, wicks, and vessels slowly becoming an obsession researching all the ins and out of candle making and associated products. Thermometers, heat guns, and specialty pouring jugs began to fill the craft cupboard. After many hours of research and product envy the product base evolved: fragrance oil candles, essential oil candles, bath tea, shower shots, soy melts, handcrafted soap and solid perfumes. All packaging is sustainably sourced and transported.
Thank you to the support of the community and beyond, Boo & Woo is now a viable addition to the family income during the pandemic.
