Why I started Yougi✨
I started making candles for myself at a particularly difficult time in my life, when I was struggling with burnout and exhaustion. I discovered the power of essential oils and the therapeutic benefits of making candles and creativity. I make the first range with the hope that it might help other people struggling with their emotional wellbeing too. I did not start my brand with any inkling it would grow as fast as it has.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I made a conscious decision from the start to invest in sustainable, cruelty-free and wildcrafted ingredients 🌱because, despite often costing a lot more, they have been proven to be far more potent and effective (not to mention more environmentally friendly) than their mass-produced or synthetic equivalents. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀Like me, you fell in love with essential oils, candle-making, scent inspirations and setting intentions.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s been a wild ride but we love seeing your candle creations, hearing who the oils are helping you or bring joy.😍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Thank you for believing in our products, for allowing us to grow, and for always supporting through kind comments.❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can find us in some of the UKs best independent stores. I feel very lucky to be where we are.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We have so many exciting plans this year. Including launching a bath bomb kit, a seasonal well-being subscription box and so much more. I can’t wait to share them with you. ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
