Hand-poured scented candles made in Dorset, UK

At Weald Store, we work closely with the team at The Botanical Candle Co, a small, independent candle maker based in Shaftesbury, Dorset.

Each candle is hand-poured in their workshop using sustainable, ethically sourced soy wax, resulting in clean-burning, long-lasting scents made with care.

For over a decade, The Botanical Candle Co. has been blending and pouring candles by hand in Dorset. Their deep knowledge results in truly thoughtful candles — made slowly, with care and attention at every stage.

Fragrances are deeply inspired by nature, blending simple, recognisable scents that evoke a sense of comfort and familiarity. The Botanical Candle Co's approach to fragrance is refreshingly uncomplicated — capturing the essence of the outdoors with aromas that feel grounding and soothing.

By supporting this independent British workshop, we’re proud to champion ethical production, small-batch craftsmanship, and environmentally conscious design.

The benefits of natural soy wax scented candles over paraffin alternatives

Natural soy wax scented candles offer a cleaner, healthier, and more eco-friendly way to fragrance your home. Our soy wax candles are made from sustainably sourced, renewable soybeans, making them a mindful alternative to traditional paraffin-based options.

Unlike paraffin, which is derived from petroleum, soy wax is carbon-neutral, biodegradable, and non-toxic. It burns cleanly, producing little to no soot and releasing no harmful chemicals — helping to maintain better indoor air quality, especially for those with asthma, allergies, or chemical sensitivities.

Another key benefit of natural soy wax candles is their excellent scent throw. When paired with high-quality essential oils or premium fragrance oils, soy wax disperses fragrance slowly and evenly — filling a space with a consistent, balanced scent that’s never overpowering. Whether you’re drawn to fresh summer florals or warm, comforting winter blends, soy wax delivers a beautifully rounded fragrance experience.

Our clean-burning, non-toxic candles are also vegan and cruelty-free. Made with only plant-based ingredients and finished with natural cotton wicks, they contain no beeswax, paraffin, or synthetic additives.

Soy wax also burns 40–50% slower than paraffin, meaning our candles are long-lasting and offer excellent value. With proper care, you can enjoy many hours of calm, ambient light and fragrance from each one.

If you’re looking for eco-friendly candles that are thoughtfully made, naturally fragranced, and gentle on both people and planet, our collection of hand-poured soy wax scented candles is a beautiful, low-impact choice for any space.

Candle care: tips to keep your scented candles in perfect condition

Light your candle for 2-4 hours at a time, or until there is a layer of melted wax across the entire surface of the jar.

Trim the wick to 5mm every time you light your candle. A longer wick will result in a larger flame, which will burn through the wax too quickly.

Keep away from draughts to ensure an even burn.

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep out of the reach of children and pets. Leave at least 10cm between candles and do not burn on or near anything that can catch fire. Do not relight when the wax level is less than 10mm.
