Frequently asked questions

What wax do you use?

We use 100% Vegan and Cruelty Free Soy Wax. The soy wax we use is sustainably sourced and renewable, making it a more eco-friendly choice compared to traditional paraffin wax candles. It also has a lower melting point, which means it burns slower and more evenly, resulting in a longer-lasting candle.

What wicks do you use?

The wicks we use are made from pure long strand ring spun cotton and paper. It ensures an excellent burn profile, offering a reduced afterglow, smoke and soot.

Do your candles contain any toxins or parabens?

Never. Our candles are made with 100% natural soy wax and phthalate- and paraben-free fragrance oils for a clean, non-toxic burn. Each candle is hand-poured in small batches using sustainable ingredients — so you can enjoy your space knowing it’s safe for you, your loved ones, and the planet. 

Do you support charities or community projects?

Yes - giving back is a big part of who we are. Every order plants a tree, and a percentage of our annual profits is donated to the MS Society.
We also offer free candle painting workshops in hospices creating calm, connection, and moments of joy for those who need it most. At Scented Studio, it’s about more than candles - it’s about making a positive difference.

Do you host corporate or larger workshops?

Absolutely! We love hosting private and corporate candle-making workshops. From birthdays and bridal showers to team-building events and wellness days. Each session is a relaxed, creative experience where guests can unwind, learn, and pour their own bespoke candle to take home. We can tailor workshops to suit you, simply get in touch to start planning your event. 

Why are the essential oil candles more expensive?

The fragrance and essential oils that we use are all Vegan and Cruelty Free. The reason why essential oils are more expensive, is due to the natural products being extracted from different plants. This is done through processes such as steam distillation, solvent extraction and expressed oils. Fragrance oils are synthetic scents made in labs - they are still super safe and free from Parabens!

Why is the scent of my essential oil candle not as strong as others?

Our essential oil candles are made entirely with natural ingredients, designed for a gentle, clean fragrance rather than an overpowering one. The scent fills your space softly, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere with aromatherapeutic benefits. If you prefer a stronger fragrance throw, our classic collection offers a stronger scent experience.

Do you ship outside of the UK?

Yes! We offer worldwide shipping.

Can the glass jars be reused?

Yes! Once there is about 1/4 inch of wax left, stop using the candle. Use caution and care when removing the remaining wax, wicks and any labels.

We suggest to gently scrape out the wax and wicks/wick stickers with a plastic utensil.

REMEMBER... dispose all wax in the bin - never put wax down the drain. Then place the container in hot soapy water to soften any residue and labels, and wash, rinse and dry.
