Our story
A kitchen, a candle,
a kiss.
filí (φιλί) means kiss in Greek — a small, given thing. That's exactly what we wanted to make. Not a brand that takes itself too seriously. Not a hundred SKUs. Just a few small, lovely products, hand-poured in batches you could count on your fingers, with ingredients you can pronounce.
Made by hand, in small batches
Every chapstick is whipped on the stove, poured one at a time, and labeled by the same hands. Every candle is poured into its vessel warm, set in a quiet corner to cool, and trimmed before it's packed. Nothing is rushed because the kitchen isn't built for rushing.
We bias toward simple, beautiful ingredients — beeswax, raw honey, cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, soy wax, cotton wicks, essential oils. If we can't tell you what something does, it doesn't go in.
Formulated, not improvised
Behind every filí product is a real formula — weighed, costed, ratio-checked, and labeled to industry standards. We do all of it inside FormulaPilot, a software studio built specifically for small-batch makers like us. (We may be biased — we built it.)
That's why our labels are honest, our batches are consistent, and why a chapstick you buy in October feels exactly like the one you loved in May.
Two studios, one set of hands
FormulaPilot helps makers turn ideas into real products. filí is what happens when we use it ourselves.
