Botanical Glow Soy Wax Massage Candle

Meet LoveWell, the social enterprise fighting exploitation one product at a time. Behind their dreamy range is an empowering programme for women who’ve experienced significant trauma through trafficking and exploitation.

All too often, survivors of exploitation face barriers to employment. LoveWell helps break down these barriers with training, skills development, and meaningful work through the making of their products.

LoveWell's range of beauty products are handmade by women who have experienced barriers to employment. Each sale helps fund training, skills development and meaningful work, all of which support them to find alternative employment, education or training.

Trainees get fully immersed in the organisation learning about production line processes, product development, customer service, marketing, and order fulfilment. They also cover a range of life skills and employability skills, from confidence-building, to assertiveness and teamwork as well as CV-writing, interview prep and job applications. By the end of the six-month programme, trainees are more confident, resilient, and ready for alternative employment. Each woman is matched with a trained mentor, who will continue to offer support for up to a year post-programme.

Just as creating LoveWell products is a source of greater wellbeing and healing for their makers, they’re designed to be restorative for you too. Turn a bath into a luxurious home-spa experience with their popular botanical glow massage candles, or breathe new life into your room with our aromatic reed diffusers.

Every LoveWell product you buy helps to create empowering work for women moving on from trauma. In 2022 they employed *Lucy - one of their ex trainees who now makes candles for you. She loves her job and they love having her on the team.
