We Are Wildewood Botanicals

Michigan-Made Candles and More

Wildewood Botanicals started as a hobby in 2022 after accumulating an overabundance of honey jars and as we struggled to find allergy-friendly home fragrances that wouldn't cause headaches or sneezing, inspired by the land and lakeside wonders of the Mitten state.

Allergy-Friendly Scents

Made without harmful, headache-causing ingredients like parabens, phthalates, and other common irritants found in paraffin-based candles, Wildewood Botanicals soy candles are made with a safe percentage of fragrance oils that have undergone rigorous testing to ensure that they are free from carcinogens, reproductive toxins, and other potentially hazardous chemicals.

Michigan-Made and Michigan-Inspired

As a born and raised Michigander, traveling coast to coast, city to city throughout all of the seasons has inspired me to capture these scents that evoke my favorite memories and people. Think of spring-blooming lilacs on Mackinac Island or the fresh and misty scent from the shores of the Great Lakes.

The product line has since expanded to include other gently scented home products without compromising scent, health, or sustainability including carpet deodorizer, laundry scent booster, and more.

Our commitment to safety extends beyond our making process. We strive to be eco-conscious in all our practices, including using locally sourced ingredients, reusing packaging, and offering a jar recycling program.
