Where it all started......
Owner Kristy, had always had a love for candles and home fragrance products and was never too far away from attending home candle parties and shopping from the sofa with a glass of wine in hand surrounded by friends. We've all been there, right? The excitement of receiving the order through the door and opening the parcel to gorgeous scents inside and deciding which candle or wax melt to use first.
After being diagnosed with a second brain tumour, Kristy was forced to leave her career as a Sports Therapist. After coming to terms with the diagnosis, recovering from treatment and also accepting that she would need a career change in order to keep her motivated and challenged, Kristy needed a new purpose in life. Making a candle at home to cheer her up, it was soon realised that candle making could be a potential choice for a business.
"You have to find what sparks a light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world"
Soy Wax Village was formed at the kitchen table, after selecting the best ingredients, testing the candle safety and troubleshooting the flaws, friends and family were coming back for more products. Kristy then grew the business and offered her products for trade. In just three years, we have moved from the kitchen table to a purpose built cabin in the garden and now to a bricks and mortar premises. We provide a whole collection of home fragrance products direct to consumers and businesses. Kristy is never too shy of a challenge and will always try to do her upmost to keep all her customers satisfied.
Soy Wax Village Values.......
Our wax products are produced with 100% soy wax which is sustainably sourced, natural, renewable, and biodegradable. Soy wax has a lower melting point which means your candles will burn for 50% longer and cleaner. Soy wax is also non-toxic and paraben free. It also has an excellent fragrance holding quality resulting in our scented products having a long lasting and even scent throw. Our soy candles are hand poured and made in small batches ensuring our products are the best quality. Our wax melts are also hand poured or hand crafted and delicately finished with botanicals.
Our sense of smell can change our mood and trigger many emotions, also transport us back to a fond distant memory. We have chosen our fragrances carefully to ensure there is something for everyone. From citrus to florals and woody to musk’s we hope our scented products will find a place in your home and escort you back to special memories or daydreams. The fragrances we use are 100% concentrated, vegan friendly and cruelty free.
Although there is no legal requirement, we have had our candles externally lab tested and PASSED, meaning they meet the requirements of BS EN 15426:2018 & BS EN 15493:2019 for sooting behaviour and fire safety which comply with CEN standards. Meeting these requirements helps show due diligence.
Our Mission.......
is to continue to create quality home fragrance products using the high quality materials whilst also being kind to the planet.
We hope you and your customers will love our products just as much as we do!
