The Heart of Our Craft: Selecting the Finest Ingredients
Our journey begins with a conscious choice: selecting the highest quality, 100% natural soy and coconut waxes. We believe in the purity of these waxes for their clean burn, exceptional scent throw, and eco-friendly nature. Alongside our waxes, we carefully curate premium, non-toxic fragrance oils and pure essential oils, ensuring each scent captures the essence we envision.
The Gentle Rhythm of Hand-Pouring:
Unlike mass-produced candles, each Essence & Light creation is hand-poured in small batches. This allows for meticulous attention to detail at every stage:
- Melting the Wax: We gently melt our natural wax blend to the perfect temperature, ensuring a smooth and consistent pour.
- Blending the Fragrance: The chosen fragrance oils or essential oils are carefully added and stirred by hand, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the wax for a consistent scent experience from the first light to the last.
- Securing the Wick: We use natural, lead-free wicks, carefully centered in each vessel to promote an even burn. This seemingly small step is crucial for the candle's performance and safety.
- The Pour: With a steady hand, we pour the fragrant wax into each vessel – be it a sleek tin, an elegant glass jar, or a charming ramekin. This slow and deliberate process allows us to monitor the quality and ensure each candle is filled just right.
- Curing with Care: Once poured, our candles are allowed to cure for a specific period. This crucial resting time allows the fragrance to fully bind with the wax, maximizing its scent throw when you finally light it in your home.

Our studio in Jervis Bay provides the perfect backdrop for our craft. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Australian coast, we draw inspiration from the serene environment and the pure essence of the land. This connection to nature is infused into every candle we create.
