My Candle Making Story

My Candle Making Story

Time to Burn is focused on fully handmade eco-friendly, natural candles, tealights and Jesmonite homewares, made with soy wax and essential oils. I set up Time to Burn Candles in an attempt to escape from newly-diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis chronic pain.

Many years on and I am much better and I live, eat and breathe candles! 

My focus is on clean, natural candles and eco-conscious materials that are as kind to the environment and planet as possible. My health issues have forced me to search for a cleaner way of life, and so I pass this on through my candle making! I use essential oils and soy wax and my packaging is eco-friendly and sustainable wherever possible.

Candles shouldn't only be a light to fill your home with warmth and cosiness, it should also fill your room with a beautiful scent. There are those who simply want a clean unscented light, and for those, I offer unscented tealights, which also fit perfectly into wax melt burners.

But for those scent-lovers, I have curated a range of fresh, fruity, floral, herbal, woody and spicy scents - shop by scent collection in the main menu.

All my fragrances are created by blending 100% natural essential oils blended with soy wax. Both are natural alternatives to the synthetic and toxic candles and melts found in most paraffin and fragrance oil candles in big stores.

If you ever find yourself saying "I could buy that in Primark for half the price", just take a look at the ingredients and you will see why!
