Earth Candles Co. was born from a families passion for our environment, combined with a love of handcrafted soy candles. Handmade in Warkworth using only 100% natural soy wax, the scented soy candles are enjoyed by candle lovers throughout New Zealand.
With a strong focus on the reduction of waste. At Earth Candles Co. they salvage empty beer bottles from friends and various local businesses (in and around the Warkworth and Matakana area) and repurpose them into natural soy wax candles. They start the process by de-labelling and cleaning all bottles, then carefully cut the top off each bottle, and finally, grind and polish the edge leaving a smooth surface and completing the vessel in preparation for filling.
They hand-pour the soy wax for the candles into re-purposed wine and beer bottles, creating artisan candles with a piece of New Zealand within. Each of our five distinct core fragrances was chosen to evoke and create precious memories of our beautiful country.
Each handmade candle rests within its own glass vessel, which they make themselves from used wine and beer bottles. Not only does each vessel look attractive, but they can also be reused or recycled once the candle has burnt out. They are proud of the care and attention we place in their creation, right through to their delivery at your home.
Each candle comes with a beautiful timber lid, no more dusty candles and they look great too when not burning.
