✨ Materials & Candle Care

Every Say it With Wax candle is lovingly hand-poured in Surrey using:✨ Materials

  • 100% Soy Wax
    A natural, vegan-friendly wax that burns cleanly and evenly.
  • Premium Fragrance Oils
    Carefully selected, phthalate- and paraben-free fragrance oils for a high-quality scent throw without the harsh stuff.
  • Cotton Wicks
    Chosen for a consistent, steady burn and minimal soot when cared for properly.

Glass Apothecary Jars with Gold Lids

Timeless, reusable, and designed to look good in any space.

Candle Care Tips:

  • Let the wax pool fully on the first burn, no tunnelling on our watch!
  • Trim the wick to 5mm before each light for a cleaner flame.
  • Keep away from pets, kids, and exes.
  • Never burn for more than 3 hours at a time. Your candle deserves a break too.
  • Use a heatproof coaster to put your candle on.

Treat it right, and it’ll keep the vibes (and the fragrance) going strong.

Handmade

Each candle is hand-poured, so no two are exactly the same (just how we like it). You might notice the odd slightly wonky label, a tiny wick shift, or natural colour variation from the fragrance — all completely normal, and it won’t affect how beautifully your candle burns or smells.

📦 Shipping + Returns

Shipping:

We hand-pour and pack each candle with love (and a healthy dose of sarcasm) from our little HQ in Surrey, UK.

Orders are usually dispatched within 2–3 working days - because good things take time, but not that much time.

  • UK shipping from £2.95
  • Free shipping on orders over £35
  • Tracked delivery options available for peace of mind (and nosey tracking)

Returns:

Changed your mind? We get it—sometimes love fades. If your candle isn’t quite what you expected, you’ve got 14 days to let us know.

To be eligible for a return:

  • It must be unused and in its original packaging (sniffing is fine, lighting is not)
  • Email us at hello@sayitwithwax.co.uk with your order number and reason for return
  • Return postage is on you unless your item arrived damaged or faulty

Smells funny in a bad way?

If your candle arrived a bit worse for wear, snap a photo and drop us a message.

We’ll make it right quicker than you can say “burn, baby, burn”.
