About Us

What does Hily stand for? "Honey, I love you".

The name is simple, yet has so much meaning behind it.

Growing this company with my husband has been so exciting. We wanted the brand to represent a piece of us, so we went with the name 'Hily'. 

We are a small home-based business located in Dublin, California that specializes in hand-poured candles. I originally started making candles for fun and decided to put them on Etsy. A few months later, I opened this website and started vending at local markets. 

We believe that candles should smell amazing and be made with safe, high-quality ingredients. 

Our wax is vegan and cruelty-free making them a great choice for those conscious about their choices and their impact on animals and the environment. Additionally, coconut and soy wax burns cleanly and slowly, providing a long-lasting and highly fragrant burn.

Our candles are handmade in small batches, ensuring that each is crafted with care and attention to detail. We use high-quality fragrance and essential oils to ensure that our candles have a strong, true-to-life scent.

We hope that our products bring you as much joy and happiness as we have experienced while making them.
