SWAND - The Art of Caring for Your Flame

Born from a desire for beauty, mindfulness, and the art of caring, SWAND® was created by Susan Nichols, inventor of yogitoes®. When she couldn’t find a candle care tool worthy of her altar or her coffee table, she decided to create one.

She believes that even the smallest gestures can become acts of intention. That belief inspired the first 4-in-1 candle care tool, merging elegance and function with mindfulness.

The simple motions of laying your flame to rest, trimming a burnt wick, or rescuing a tunneling candle are both satisfying and meditative.
We call it: Swanding your light.

At SWAND®, sustainability is foundational. Each tool is hand-forged from 100% recycled post-consumer stainless steel, designed to last a lifetime, and to return to the metal cycle at end-of-life, never to a landfill.

We partner with an ethical manufacturer in China who shares our commitment to responsible production. Our packaging is FSC-certified, plastic-free, and fully recyclable from factory to doorstep.

We are also proud partners of Women for Women International, supporting survivors in conflict zones around the world, because the flame we tend is never just our own.

SWAND® is more than candle care. It’s an invitation to intentional living.
