More about Lux Luz

We are a social enterprise creating eco-soy scented candles and reed diffusers. All of our products are handmade in London and vegan friendly.

We founded LUX LUZ in response to the unacceptable fact that 1 in 4 women in the UK are affected by domestic violence in their lifetime.

Our name is LUX LUZ, which means light in Latin and in Spanish, as our products help to bring hope to women who find themselves in situations which can feel hopeless.
