A new shop opening in Mississauga offers Canadian-made products including an odour-neutralizing candle created right here in the city.

Mississauga mom Delight Greenidge started her odour-neutralizing candle business in February 2020 but, of course, a short time later she was forced to halt operations. But she didn’t give up.

Greenidge says she wanted to make a soy, odour-neutralizing candle that effectively removes food, pet and smoke odours. She worked with a scientist to develop the formula.

“It took us about a year and a half to get a formulation that actually works,” Greenidge tells insauga.com.

She developed the soy, odour-neutralizing candles — a Canadian-made product and called the business Luxe and Little. When she was finally in business, the pandemic shut everything down.

“What I ended up doing was starting to go door-to-door to try to sell my products because I’ve just invested so much in it,” she says.

Luxe and Little now has grown, adding an odour-neutralizing spray to the line. They are also launching an odour-neutralizing wax tart melt, which is similar to the candle but without the flame.

And Luxe and Little makes an anise-based outdoor candle with citronella. All items are vegan, organic and made with ingredients from Canada.

Now, Greenidge and her son Spenser have started a brick-and-mortar shop selling her brand along with other Canadian-made brands.

The grand opening of the store, Luxe and Friends, at Erin Mills Town Centre, is planned for this Saturday (Jan. 14).

The Canadian brands include:

And there is also a fragrance-free refillery with foaming hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, stainless steel cleaner, all-purpose cleaner, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, hair mask and much more.

Customers can bring in their containers and jars or pick one up in-store.

“Luxe and Friends Refillery is the first commercial refillery in Mississauga and we chose the no scent route to allow customers to purchase essential oils from the store and personalize their products,” says Greenidge.

The store is set up with a studio concept as they plan to host classes on how to make luxury products including candles, cosmetics and body care products.

Luxe and Friends celebrates their grand opening on Saturday, Jan. 14 at 1 p.m. The store is on the ground floor at Entrance A of the Erin Mills Town Centre.
