About Us
The Meaning behind our name
Kushi is a Bangla word that means "A deep quality of happiness, pleasure and delight." Being Kushi involves embracing a mindset full of positive energy, self-love and gratitude. Our name combines our ancestry and brand philosophy beautifully.
Who We Are
Kushi Candle Co. was founded by married duo Zaheer and Shazna Ahmed with a clear visions: to create beautiful objects of art and perfume that create desire through a unique experience. Through timeless design, eco-friendly offerings and charitable initiatives, we stand to elevate home fragrance and uplift people across the world.
Our story
As candle lovers we struggled to find existing products on the market that used clean ingredients, had strong hot and cold scent throw and burned evenly down to the base. The market is flooded with candles that are mass produced with low quality paraffin wax, synthetic scented fragrance and released without proper wick testing. The result is a candle that tunnels with little to no smell when burning.
Our Ethos
Our ethos is to use only the highest quality fragrance oils and plant derived ingredients to craft a line of clean burning and natural scented products. We believe aromatherapy is an integral part of wellness and relaxation and should be a luxurious and indulgent experience. All of our products are free of sulfates and parabens, and are vegan and cruelty free.
Our Method
KUSHI artisanal candles are handcrafted in small batches in England. The brand is synonymous with traditional time honoured chandler techniques. Kushi Candle Co. is all about simplicity, and this ethos is reflected in both our elegant designs and the ingredients used. Each long-lasting candle contains natural coconut soy wax that is then combined with a unique blend of the highest-quality fragrances and essential oils.
“A beautiful combination of classic and contemporary design elements, fragrance balance and symmetry, these are the hallmarks of the Kushi Candle Co. touch...”
Zaheer Ahmed, Kushi Candle Co. Head Designer & Creative Director
