Sustainability in every flicker
Welcome to our candle oasis in Hertfordshire, where luxury meets eco-friendly living. We're a small, female-owned business passionate about proving that sustainability and luxury can go hand in hand. Each of our candles is lovingly hand-poured in small batches using natural soy wax and infused with non-toxic, premium fragrances - no harmful chemicals here!
Our elegant matte glass vessels come in soothing shades of muted pastels. They're not just beautiful; they're reusable! After your candle has burned bright, plant wildflowers in them with our seed paper dust covers and watch them grow. Plus, for every order placed, we plant a tree. Yes, really!

Why ‘Non-Toxic’ Isn’t Just a Buzzword to Me – A Candle Maker’s Personal Journey
What happens when candle making affects your health? When you're faced with the very real possibility that you might have to give up on your dream?
This is the personal story behind my journey with chemical sensitivity, allergic asthma, and the serious health challenges that came with it. I spent months researching how to make candles without the ingredients that were making me unwell. “Non-toxic” isn’t just a trend for me. It’s the result of lived experience, deep research, and a commitment to creating candles in the safest, cleanest way I can.
