Our Story

A Ray Of Light......                                                             

having always had a love for home fragrances, specifically scented candles, I was never too far away from hosting or attending home candle parties and shopping with a glass of wine in hand. The excitement of receiving the order through the door, deciding which scent to use first or for which room in the home. A lovely smelling home makes a warm and cosy home.

After being diagnosed with a second brain tumour a few years ago my life fell apart. I quickly had to give up my job as a sports therapist due to living with some debilitating symptoms. Life on the sofa was becoming miserable and I felt I had no motivation or purpose. Sitting on the sofa looking around my living room at the nearly empty jars of candles with excess wax that would never see a flame again. I decided to use them all to make another new candle. I couldn’t believe how easy it was for me and how I enjoyed it (Little things please me!) why did I not do this years ago! Back on the sofa resting and remembering a quote

"You have to find what sparks a light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world"

After some reflection, this lead to impulsive thoughts. I was soon unpacking a large parcel of candle and wax melt making supplies and Soy Wax Village was born. I spent time selecting the beautiful fragrances and wax types, testing the safety of the candles and troubleshooting the flaws before forcing my friends and family to try out my products. Whilst Soy Wax Village is still in the early days, I am so proud of what I have overcome and achieved so far. I will continue with a positive mind now I finally have my motivation and purpose back, and maybe one day, illuminate the world!

 

Soy Wax Village Values

At Soy Wax Village, we take pride in creating products made with 100% soy wax, sustainably sourced, natural, renewable, and biodegradable. Soy wax has a lower melting point, which means our candles burn 50% longer and cleaner. It’s also non-toxic, paraben-free, and holds fragrance exceptionally well, ensuring a long-lasting and even scent throw. Our candles are hand-poured in small batches to ensure the highest quality, while our wax melts are handcrafted and delicately finished with botanicals.

The Power of Scent
Our sense of smell has the ability to enhance our mood, evoke emotions, and even transport us back to cherished memories. We’ve carefully selected our fragrances to offer something for everyone—from fresh citrus to soothing florals, and earthy woods to warm musks. Our 100% concentrated fragrances are vegan-friendly and cruelty-free, making them a perfect addition to your home.

Quality & Safety
While not legally required, all our candles have been externally lab-tested and passed, meeting the requirements of BS EN 15426:2018 & BS EN 15493:2019 for sooting behavior and fire safety in line with CEN standards. This ensures we meet rigorous safety standards and demonstrate our commitment to quality and due diligence.

Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to create premium quality products using the finest materials while being mindful of our planet. That’s why all our packaging—from product to shipping—is fully recyclable, plastic-free, and biodegradable.

We hope you’ll love Soy Wax Village products as much as we do!

For those that are struggling at the moment, dig a little deeper and find that spark within you!
