A Little Bit About Us
What Drives Us...
Wild Horses was born on the beautiful Hibiscus Coast in 2023 and is dedicated to making unique, hand-crafted products. The invention of the Wild Horses brand was inspired by a love of fragrance and the powerful experience of scent as a vehicle to transport you into a fantasy world, a new reality, a different mood, an improved emotion. That's horsepower!
Here at Wild Horses we believe in freedom - freedom of thought, freedom of expression, freedom of choice, freedom to be wild! We hold fragrance as a symbol of personal power and freedom because it stimulates our innate ability to shift our state of mind. We have the power to choose how we feel, regardless of our current circumstances - a soul stirring scent can help us to untether our thoughts and let our minds run free!
The idea that we could feature in your joyful experience is what drives us; our desire to contribute to the creation of a beautiful atmosphere in your home fuels our passion. It's a self-indulgent mission, but a mission none the less.
Thinking Sustainably...
Like any business, we have a carbon footprint - or hoofprint in our case. We do however strive to minimize our impact on the environment in every way possible.
Our Vessels
Our jars and lids can be put into the recycling bin after use. They must be cleaned first so once your candle has burned right down, sit the container in some boiling water to melt any residual wax and then wipe clean with a paper towel. The wick tab should come loose when you wipe the jar out.
Our Labels
Due to our desire to keep things natural we do make compromises, our labels for example are paper rather than polyester and thus are not waterproof. We believe that our customers will embrace this compromise and enjoy using a product that utilizes 100% recycled paper in the case of our signature collection and FSC certified paper from well managed forests in the case of our therapeutic collection.
Our Packaging
Less packaging means less waste, so we've kept things simple by not using presentation boxes for our candles and instead opting for stand-alone jars. We endeavor to use sustainable packaging when we send out customer orders but do at times reuse bubble wrap that we have received from suppliers.
Our General Practices
Minimizing waste is a priority for us, for a number on reasons, and aside from buying in bulk to reduce the amount of packaging and couriers we utilize, we constantly orient our thinking to find new ways to achieve waste reduction. As our business grows we intend to implement green initiatives in the attempt to neutralize our environmental impact.
