All our candles are hand poured with love in the United Kingdom, using the best quality materials to achieve the perfect gift for you and your loved ones. They are made with 100% natural soy wax, some may contain natural dried flowers plants or wood and blended with the finest fragrance oils, especially for you. If you find that your candle varies slightly in weight or finish this is because every candle is individually handmade and therefore unique. Our Natural Soy Wax Candles do tend to have a colour variation. Due to cold weather the wax may shrink, or pull away from the glass or tin. Please understand that this aspect cannot be controlled as soy wax is naturally soft and very sensitive to temperature changes.
