Exploring Life & Business with Hinda Pugh of Luxe Wix Candle Co.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Hinda Pugh

Hi Hinda, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My journey to founding Luxe Wix® Candle Co. was driven by both personal experience and a simple desire to create something that brought people peace and relaxation. Like many others, I was frustrated by the harsh chemicals and artificial scents found in most candles. After experiencing firsthand how some candles triggered headaches due to harmful ingredients, I knew there had to be a better way. So, I decided to create my own line—one that offered soothing fragrances without any harmful ingredients. What started in my kitchen as a way to share something I loved quickly grew into a thriving business. Today, Luxe Wix® is more than just a candle company—it’s a brand that prioritizes wellness and self-care through thoughtfully handcrafted products.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
While I’ve been fortunate to experience many rewarding moments along the way, the road to founding Luxe Wix Candle Co. has definitely had its challenges. One of the biggest struggles was navigating the complexities of sourcing quality ingredients and ensuring that every product met my standards for both safety and effectiveness. It took a lot of trial and error, but with persistence, I was able to create a product I truly believe in. Another challenge was growing the brand and building awareness, especially in a competitive market. Today, Luxe Wix stands strong because of those struggles, and they’ve made the journey all the more meaningful.

We’ve been impressed with Luxe Wix Candle Co., but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Luxe Wix Candle Co. was founded on the simple belief that self-care should be effortless, clean, and effective. We specialize in handcrafting high-quality candles made with just three ingredients—our signature virgin coconut soy wax, premium fragrance oils, and wood wicks. No dyes, no boosters, and absolutely no additives. Each candle is designed with wellness in mind, ensuring that it’s not only safe but also a soothing experience for everyone. What truly sets us apart is our commitment to offering headache-free, clean-burning candles that create a calming atmosphere without the worry of chemicals you can’t name or don’t otherwise want in your candles.

I’m especially proud of the community we’ve built—a group of like-minded individuals who value wellness, sustainability, and the power of simple, beautiful self-care. Whether it’s through our candles or the moments they help create, Luxe Wix isn’t just about products; it’s about making time for yourself and carving out peaceful moments of relaxation in an otherwise busy world. We’re here to help you unwind, focus, and elevate your space—one candle at a time.

How do you define success?
For me, success isn’t just about sales numbers or growth—though those are important—it’s about the impact we have on our customers’ lives. Success is measured by how our products and brand contribute to the well-being of those who use them. It’s about seeing our customers return, sharing their stories, and knowing that Luxe Wix has helped them create a space of calm and relaxation. Building a brand people trust is what matters most, and when our customers experience that sense of peace, that’s when I know we’ve truly succeeded.

If Luxe Wix continues to grow, provides meaningful value to our community, and inspires others to prioritize self-care, then I consider that a win.
