About Homesick

Homesick is a company founded in 2016 by two friends who wanted to capture the spirit of memories in a way that felt personal and recognizable to everyone. They believe that it takes a community to make a candle, and that's why they speak to anywhere from 30 to 100 people for every candle they develop. Homesick offers almost 200 different products representing all the things that matter most - from every US state, to multiple cities and countries, to occasions, people and moments. Their candles are poured in small batches with a natural soy wax blend, have 100% organic cotton wicks, and are made with essential oils to deliver a long-lasting, great-smelling burn. Homesick candles are also cruelty-free, non-toxic and contain no lead, plastics, paraben, phthalates or synthetic dyes. Homesick candles are as unique as your memories, and they are sure to bring a sense of nostalgia and comfort to any home.
