The Wild Glen - Our Brand
The name ‘The Wild Glen’ was developed with three things in mind – the location of the business being Glenealy, Co Wicklow, the mind itself being overwhelmed and a little ‘Wild’ in need of some care and rest and finally nature and earth being key to our products. ‘The Wild Glen’ seemed to capture the essence of all these elements.
The beauty of nature and its grounding properties are at the core of this small family business as is the joy of giving gifts that will capture peoples hearts.
Take a breather to calm the chaos and tame the mind with our beautiful collection of candles and self-care goodies.
Find calm in our soothing scents and pampering treats and rediscover your peace of mind. Treat yourself because you deserve a break too.
We invite you to explore 'The Wild Glen' and discover treasures that capture your heart just as they have captured ours. Welcome, wander, we hope you find solace and delight in our offerings.
Our Ingredients
All our candles are made using EcoSystem Rapeseed & Coconut (RCX) natural wax blend. This wax is made from rapeseed oil and coconut oil and nothing else. It is completely free from paraffin, soy, palm, beeswax and synthetic additives. Unlike traditional paraffin wax candles, our candles are non-toxic and do not release harmful chemicals when burned. In addition, they burn longer and cleaner, meaning they produce less soot and residue. Our fragrance oils which we mix with the wax are sourced locally from Bomar Aromatherapy in Kilcoole, Co. Wicklow, all of which are derived from high-quality synthetic ingredients.
Our wax melts are crafted from a blend of Rapeseed and Coconut wax, carefully chosen for its eco-friendly and sustainable qualities. This unique wax formulation is free from any animal or mineral/petroleum-derived ingredients, and it steers clear of genetically modified (GM) plant sources. Not only does it offer a smooth and lustrous finish to our wax melts, but it also aligns perfectly with our commitment to responsible sourcing.
Meet the Owner
My name is Anne-Marie Fitzgerald - also known as Mia!
The Wild Glen is a dream that has blossomed from a deep love for nature, a passion for creativity, and a desire to build a community where everyone feels welcomed and inspired.
The idea for The Wild Glen started brewing years ago when I found myself yearning for something that combined my love for the outdoors with my knack for crafting unique and meaningful gifts. As a mom balancing work, family, and all the beautiful chaos that life brings, I realised how important it is to have a sanctuary – a place where you can reconnect with nature, unleash your creativity, and find a sense of peace and joy.
Creating The Wild Glen has been whirlwind, filled with its fair share of challenges and triumphs. From sketching out initial ideas to sourcing sustainable materials to curating a range of delightful products, every step has been a labour of love. My aim has always been to create a peaceful calm space that feels like a breath of fresh air, a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and find something truly special.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. Your support means the world to me, and I can't wait to see how The Wild Glen continues to grow and evolve with you.
