Redefining Wellness With BEMAN Candles: Handcrafted, QR Code Wellness Candles

Ricki Takooree founded BEMAN Candles in 2022 with a mission to nurture the well-being of men through custom-scented candles. Based in Newport, BEMAN Candles creates candles that help people unwind, find inner calm, and reconnect with themselves. They do this by allowing customers the choice to purchase a candle not just by scent, but also by mental health topic.

Each candle bundle then comes with a QR code and scanning this takes you to a video and worksheet for you to self-reflect and complete.

BEMAN is redefining the idea of a Wellness Candle.

Ricki was inspired to start the company based on his own experiences with mental health and a desire to help others in a meaningful way. He saw the impact that supporting people can have and wanted to pay it forward. BEMAN Candles is the result, providing calming scents and an opportunity for self-reflection with each light.

In just its first year, BEMAN Candles has built up a dedicated community of customers and supporters. Ricki is most excited about continuing to build that community and encourage more men to prioritise self-care. He aims to develop BEMAN Candles into more than just a candle company, creating a brand that really fosters well-being, inner discovery and personal development.

Winning a 2023 Startup Award validated Ricki’s mission and purpose. Being surrounded by fellow entrepreneurs and recognised for his work so far filled him with gratitude, purpose, and a sense of belonging. The experience has fueled his motivation to continue growing BEMAN Candles and spreading its message of wellness for men.

With handcrafted, custom candles and a heartfelt vision, BEMAN Candles is lighting up men’s well-being, one meaningful moment at a time. Under Ricki’s leadership, the future is bright for this inspiring startup.
