About Us

Born on our dining room table, Lumos Apothecary is made up of husband and wife team, Cathie and Tom.

Once upon a time, we both worked full time in demanding jobs, meaning we didn’t get much quality time together! Whenever the rare moments happened, we would cosy up in front of the open fire, eat and drink something yummy and always, always lit a scented candle. This got us thinking… maybe if we made our own we could eventually work for ourselves and enjoy much more ‘together time’. Founded in November 2019 after months of experimentation and testing to get our candles just right, we launched our range of luxury hand poured, 100% natural soy wax, cruelty free candles. Each one is made by hand in small batches in our Yorkshire studio. We hope you love them as much as we do.
