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.
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
Hi, I’m Anne-Marie – but some also know me as Mia!
The Wild Glen started as a small dream, inspired by my love of nature, making things with my hands, and creating little moments that bring people together. Over time, that dream slowly grew into what it is today – a space filled with calm, creativity, and care.
As a mom balancing work, family, and all the beautiful chaos in between, I’ve come to really treasure those quiet moments – a walk outside, a candle lit, a bit of stillness. That’s the feeling I wanted to capture with The Wild Glen: something gentle, grounding, and full of heart.
It’s been a journey of learning, patience, and joy – from testing early ideas to finding sustainable materials and crafting pieces that feel meaningful. Every step has been taken with love and intention.
Thank you so much for being here. Your support means the world, and I’m so happy to share this little corner of peace with you.
