About Us

Welcome to Beards and Wicks. We make handcrafted beard care and home fragrance right here in Romeoville, Illinois. I’m Ed, the owner and maker behind every product you see, and I’m also a proud Air Force Veteran. This all started with a simple goal, create better everyday essentials that feel good to use, without the greasy residue or harsh ingredients.

  

Beard care was first. I wanted clean, nourishing products that helped my beard look better and feel healthier, while still being lightweight and comfortable day to day. Not long after, we expanded into home fragrance and body care too. With asthma and sensitive skin in the family, I was always looking for options that felt safer to have in the house, and that is what inspired our candles, wax melts, room sprays, diffusers, and more.

  

Today, everything we offer is made in small batches with eco-friendly, responsibly sourced ingredients. You’ll find beard oils and balms alongside candles, wax melts, bath bombs, shower steamers, lotions, body sprays, and diffusers, all crafted with the same attention to detail and the same “make it right” mindset.

  

If you’ve seen us at local Illinois vendor markets and craft fairs, you already know it’s a family effort. From product photography to event support, my family is right there with me, and we love getting to meet customers face to face and help you find what fits your style, your space, and your routine.

  

At Beards and Wicks, it’s about more than just products. It’s about honest craftsmanship, supporting local, and building real connections with the people who choose to shop small.

  

Whether you’re upgrading your beard routine, shopping for a gift, or looking to fill your home with clean, long-lasting fragrance, we’re grateful you’re here.

  

Thanks for stopping by and supporting our veteran-owned small business. If you ever have questions about scents, ingredients, or what to try first, reach out, we’re happy to help.
