Each of our candles is meticulously hand-poured using natural soy wax, ensuring a clean and eco-friendly burn. To further enhance your experience, we use organic cotton wicks, free from harmful additives, and infuse our fragrances with essential oils, making them both body-safe and delightfully aromatic.

Sur Mer Homewares uses 100% natural soy wax for our scented candle products. Soy wax is a vegetable wax derived from soybean so it’s a natural and a renewable resource. Soy wax is an excellent fragrance carrier as it does not require any chemical amplifiers. It burns with zero black soot and less smoke, creating a cleaner ambience.

As our brand is a collection of curated and hand-created products, the manufacturing locations vary. Our candles are hand-poured in Sydney’s northern beaches. Additionally, our collaborated products predominantly originate from talented artisans based in Sydney.

We recommend you burn your pillar candles on a heat safe dish away from flammable objects like curtains or plants.

Cleaning spilled soy wax from a hard surface is a breeze compared to alternate wax types. Simply wait for the wax to cool completely, then gently lift the solidified wax off the surface. To clean any residue, wipe the surface with warm, soapy water.

As the wax is made from a natural material, it is affected by UV rays and can change colour if exposed to sunlight.

Over time a white film/dust may appear on the exterior of your candle. This is a natural process, called frosting, and is caused by a change in temperature and humidity. It can be removed by gently polishing the candle with a microfiber cloth.
