OUR STORY
THE UNSETTLING PAIR
Established in 2019 by Apollo and Raymond, both medical students and pharmacists in London, our journey began as a creative escape from the mundane routine of medicine, studies, and NHS night shifts. Recognising the profound impact visual and olfactory stimulation can have on a person's well-being and overall mood, they embarked on a mission to blend these elements. Their passion for creating unique, dark art and captivating stories, combined with complementary fragrances, led to the birth of a truly extraordinary concept.
OPERATIONS
We are a small business based in Sidcup, London, crafting everything by hand in our candle lab with a dedicated team of three individuals. From creating the artwork to producing the candles and packaging, every step is meticulously overseen by our six skilled hands. This ensures that every little detail is carefully accounted for, resulting in the highest quality products.
Clean Ingredients
- Paraben Free
- Sulphate Free
- PEG Free
- 100% Organic Soy Candle
- Non-Bleached Cotton Wick
The list goes on... As qualified pharmacists and graduate medics, we understand the dangers of toxic chemicals. Since we use our products in our homes and give them to our family and friends, we are committed to offering only the highest quality products. This starts with premium ingredients—no compromises. We want you to enjoy the benefits of our candles without the risks associated with traditional paraffin-based and toxic scented candles on the market.
OUR VISION
Every day, we're expanding our inventory and reaching more customers. As of this year, we've sold over 20,000 candles to wonderful people! As a result, our shop will be regularly updated with new products and seasonal sales (YES!). Moreover, our evolving medical training continues to influence our artwork significantly. This can lead to changes in our art style and stories over time.
This is what sets Apollo Ipsum apart—we're constantly evolving and we want to share this with you guys, yet we always maintain one constant: our commitment to creating the highest quality, most unique candles ever.
