We Are HayCoCo
A small local business headed up by a New Orleans Native and a Crazy Californian
We believe that everyone deserves a great smelling candle and a giggle at some of the funniest quotes in movie history (well in our minds at least)!
Oddly enough, our project began with mosquitos! While trying to enjoy a beautiful spring afternoon we were getting viciously eaten alive by mosquitos, the little bloodsuckers mocked our pain and laughed at the store-bought bug spray we had applied. We spent that evening treating our mosquito bites, venting that there need to be more products that work, smell good, and aren’t filled with ingredients that have way too many syllables and are impossible to pronounce. After successfully creating a natural bug spray, additional research pivoted us to the next thing we use daily in our homes, candles. Bug spray then candles, makes total sense, right? Not really but that’s just how our squirrel brains work.
We discovered many candles sold, including the ones we had been burning in our homes, were made with paraffin wax. We learned that paraffin contains known carcinogens, yeah bad stuff, that are released into the air when burned. Holy Schnikes! For fun, we made soy wax candles for our families which they loved! We knew we wanted to keep making great scented candles that are friendly to people and pets, for our friends, community, and visitors. Combine that with our mutual love of comedy movies, HayCoCo was born!
HayCoCo candles are made with Organic Soy Wax, Cotton Wicks, and fragrances made with all the good things. Handcrafted in New Orleans, from our home to yours.
