Handmade Candles

Artisan, Handcrafted and Hand Poured in Small Batches

Candles are beautiful products to have in your home whether for their looks, for their fragrance or the relaxing ambience they create. Or maybe all of these! But what is the difference between handmade candles and mass-produced candles? Ultimately, many of the differences will depend on personal preferences.

• How is the candle made?
• Do you want to support smaller businesses?
• Are the candles vegan and cruelty free?
• Are the candles eco-friendly or not?

All of these factors are part of the buying decision as well the importance of price. 

Eco-Friendly Handmade Candles

Eco-friendly and sustainable products are important to us and that is why we choose soy wax (or other plant-based waxes) for our candles. We also choose wood wicks and lead-free cotton wicks. All our candles are handmade, and hand poured by us at our FelinFach Studio in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK. Each part of the creation of your candle is made by hand and handmade by us in small batches.

 

 

Modern-Day Candle Chandler - Handmade and Hand Poured Candles in Tins

A Candle Chandler? - "a maker and seller of tallow, wax candles, and also usually soap".

We are a modern-day handmade candle chandler, hand pouring candles in tins but also other fragrance items such as reed diffusers, tealights and wax melts. Our eco-friendly handmade candles are created from sustainable and renewable plant-based candle waxes and many of our candles have wooden wicks to create that delightful candle wick crackling.

 

 

Our Handmade Candles

We have a range of handmade candles, including smaller candles in tins, the luxurious 3-wick candles and our FelinFach 'signature' style candles. Our well known and much-loved signature candles are made in matt white and grey glass jars with branded oak wood lids and are finished with a wood wick. Beautiful, artisan handmade candles and fragrances, part of the beauty of handmade products.

 

What Does Handmade Mean?

All home fragrance products are handmade in small batches and hand poured with personal care and attention - part of the beauty of a handmade product.

The making of hand poured candles in small batches is literally a manual handmade process. There is no machinery or mass production involved at any stage of the making. After we have melted the soy wax, the wax is poured by hand into our glass candle jars or tins. We place the candle wicks in the centre of the candles and wait for the wax to harden. As this is a manual process, hand poured candles can be repeated but can never be exactly the same, part of the beauty of a handmade, hand poured candle!

Handmade Candles - Sustainability

Why Soy Wax?

All our Candles, Wax Melts and Tealights are made from Soy Wax or a Soy and Coconut wax blend – they do not contain any paraffin waxes. We believe that soy wax candles are an eco-friendly and sustainable product, provides the longest, safest, cleanest burn and also has excellent fragrance-holding qualities.

FelinFach.com - a Net Zero Website

Whilst we can and do reduce our carbon emissions wherever possible, for the foreseeable future we cannot eliminate them. That is why we have teamed up with Tree Nation to create our Net Zero Website - a website that produces net zero carbon emissions. 

In partnership with Tree Nation, our Net Zero Website automatically offsets all the CO2 emissions our website generates. Tree Nation calculates our website's emissions based on the number of visits it receives. On the basis of this calculation, we buy and plant the trees needed in our FelinFach Forest to offset these emissions completely,100%.

Net Zero Website	Tree Planting with Tree Nation
	The carbon emissions generated by our website are offset or reduced to zero by planting trees we buy from Tree Nation. Our website emissions, less our carbon offsets equal a net zero emissions website. Click here to see our FelinFach Forest.
