About us

Hello and welcome.

I’m Rebecca, the founder of Bey & Bo.

Craving a way to be creative again I started making candles as a hobby. I channelled my passion into something tangible and what started as a love for crafting and experimenting with scents quickly evolved into a business built around the coastal beauty of Ireland. In 2022 turning my hobby into a business has been one of the most rewarding decisions I've ever made.

I live in Portstewart, a small picturesque coastal town right on the tip of the North Coast of Northern Ireland. I’m lucky to have some of the most dramatic coastlines and beautiful beaches in the world right on my doorstep.

I was drawn to the idea of crafting something that would capture the scents of this coastal haven; the salty breeze, the sound of the waves, the iconic landscapes, and the result is a home fragrance collection that captures the essence of coastal living, all while being kind to the planet.

With scents like Coastland, Wild Atlantic Day, Sand Dune and Driftwood, each candle is inspired by the dramatic landscapes of Ireland’s North Atlantic Coast. And if candles aren't your thing, we also offer cruelty free, long-lasting reed diffusers and vegan friendly strong scented wax melts in the same coastal-inspired fragrances.

Creating an eco-conscious candle brand was important to me. Sustainability, responsible sourcing and being kind to the planet, is something I strive towards and has played an integral part in the Bey & Bo journey. Our home fragrance products are crafted with sustainability in mind. Our wax option aligns with our values of sustainability. We're proud to say that our candles and wax melts are crafted using a natural, sustainable blend of coconut wax and rapeseed wax which minimizes environmental harm and supports eco-conscious candle-making, offering a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to traditional paraffin wax and contributes to reducing the world's over reliance on soy.

Our commitment to sustainability extends to our packaging. Our kraft packaging is eco-friendly, biodegradable, and recyclable, making it a sustainable choice. Each wax melt is
thoughtfully packaged using recycled and recyclable material to minimize waste and promote a circular economy.

All our home fragrance products are 100% vegan-friendly, free from animal-derived ingredients. Whether you choose candles, diffusers, or wax melts, you can trust that every item is ethically sourced and crafted for a guilt-free sensory experience. It’s important to
us that no animals are harmed during the development or testing of our home fragrance products. Feel good about using products that align with your values, knowing that compassion is at the heart of everything we create.

This makes Bey & Bo not only a luxurious addition to your home but also a responsible choice for the planet. You can be sure that in Bey & Bo you're contributing to a greener future without compromising on style or elegance.

I hope that our candles and the extended range of home fragrance bring you joy and comfort as they fill your homes with the scents and beauty of the coast that has inspired them. 

Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to continue sharing the magic of our coastal-inspired scents with you. Let the journey continue and may the fragrant memories we create linger in your homes for years to come.

Let's talk about wax...

In the beginning, I started out making Soy candles but the more I discovered about it, the more it became clear that soy did not live up to it’s sustainable claims. Soy is grown on an industrial scale and has a multitude of negative environmental impacts. Just being a plant doesn’t make it Eco-friendly. Soy wax is made from the soybean oil and unfortunately the soybean industry is known for it’s deforestation and use of pesticides.

For this reason, all Bey & Bo candles are hand poured using a Rapeseed & Coconut natural wax blend.   Rapeseed and Coconut wax is the most sustainable and luxurious wax out there. It burns slowly and cleanly and also distributes fragrance evenly. This wax is blended in Europe and is made from coconut oil and rapeseed oil and nothing else. All wax is completely free from paraffin, soy, palm and beeswax.  It is vegan and 100%  plant based.

​Coconuts are a sustainable high yield crop. The supplier of wax for Bey & Bo is pioneering a programme to train more farmers on sustainable coconut agricultural practices. There is no forest removal in order to plant new coconut trees.

Pure rapeseed wax comes from the oil of rapeseed, a common UK grown crop, free from GMO. The wax is natural, renewable and biodegradable.
