the story of ecoya

“Drawing on my own Hungarian immigrant family’s past and the rich, centuries old history of Hungarian perfumery and candle making, Ecoya is founded on the idea of creating home fragrance and body care products using only natural bases and the finest fragrance and essential oils. We are based in Botany Bay which is both the birthplace of Australia and the refuge where my grandfather brought his family after escaping from Hungary, soon after World War II. It’s an incredibly beautiful place and one I try and teach my own children to never take for granted.

We are essentially a family run business, which at times can be both a blessing and a curse, we love each other very much but you could be forgiven for thinking differently if you ever saw us arguing about candles and politics around the dinner table!”

craig schweighoffer — CEO

Sweet Pea & Jasmine

Light, refreshing, watermelon and cucumber tones, refreshing notes of lavender.

thinking naturally

“I think Ecoya is doing so well at the moment because people are more aware about using natural products. All of our Ecoya candles are hand poured and made from Soy wax which is a big step away from the traditional petroleum based paraffin. Even our wicks are 100% natural — made from pure lead-free cotton, and our Ecoya body care range uses only the finest botanical natural bases. True, it’s a little more expensive to make things this way and takes a lot more time, but the end result is so much better.”
rachel lomas, ecoya product development.

fragrance throw

“The ‘fragrance throw’ of a candle is the distance away from the flame that the scent distributes. It may seem like an unimportant thing but we actually spent countless hours testing different oil consistencies and fragrance strengths before we created a ‘throw’ that was inline with the expectations we had for the new Ecoya range. The trick is to get the scent spread as wide as possible with minimal amount of variance in scent, and even if I say so myself, I think we did a pretty good job.”
