Ampersand was born out of a need for true transparency and purity in the essential oil industry. We achieved this by opening as an essential oil company that focuses on truly pure, affordable organic soy wax candles and wax melts, as well as fair trade/ECOCERT-certified/organic essential oils. Everything you see we make from scratch by hand - we bottle, label, fill, and ship ourselves! No middle-men, no extra fees or markups. It's truly that simple!
