ÍON CANDLE CO.
HOW IT STARTED
Hi, I'm Nikki, I'm the founder and CFO…Chief Fragrance Officer.
I've always had a passion for fragrances and their ability to invoke warmth, love, seasons or even nostalgia. That and a natural curiosity for how things are crafted is what led me to create Íon Candle Co. in 2020
A creative streak and a love for making things has always been part of who I am. My passion for making candles grew from that.
COVID changed everything for everyone and I was no different. Work and family shifted and began to blend. Priorities changed and the time you thought you’d never find started to materialise. In my case that was driven by the decision to take a step back from work and a step into a more hands-on family life. In doing that I started to fulfil a promise I had made to myself a long time ago - to go all in on candle making.

OUR PRODUCT
Having a Chef for a Dad I know the importance of good ingredients and how they need to come together to create a great experience. Testing and experiencing different combinations to understand how they come together is the key to a great candle fragrance.
ÍON CANDLE CO.
OUR PRODUCT
Channelling that approach, every Íon product is handcrafted and packaged in our studio in Co. Meath, using sustainable materials. Our natural plant wax, a blend of rapeseed and coconut oil, speaks to our desire to do right by the environment, while our focus on sourcing the most sustainable local materials reflects our commitment to doing right by our community
ÍON CANDLE CO.
ÍON WAS BORN
Considering the materials and ethos we employ, I chose the word “Íon” to reflect this. As the Irish for “Pure'' it represents everything our products stand for
