✨ 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.
