Beloved Scents soy candles are hand poured on the NSW South Coast, Australia, where the bush meets the sea. We are proud to hold the Australian made certification and hand-pick the highest quality ingredients to go into our candles. Each and every Beloved Scents candle is lovingly made with: - Vegan-friendly ingredients - Natural soy wax - 100% cotton braid wicks - High-quality fragrance oils - Pure essential oils We pour our soy wax into eco-friendly mason jars which can be washed out and reused once your candle has reached its end. You might be waiting a while though - soy candles burn 50% longer than paraffin candles! Beloved Scents commenced in 2012 when Amie suddenly became a single mum and had to balance a large mortgage and work in the corporate world with a small son. She started pouring candles on the kitchen bench so she could still provide a lifestyle for her young son and make ends meet, with the goal to leave the corporate world behind and have more family time. By 2013 she had quickly outgrown the kitchen bench and had to relocate to a warehouse in which she still pours everything by hand on the beautiful South Coast of NSW. Beloved Scents grew rapidly and were stocked in approximately 100 stores nationally in its first year. Now, Beloved Scents is stocked in 400 stores nationally and 10 in New Zealand. Amie's son, now grown, has also had the opportunity to work with her in his teenage years and Beloved Scents has become quite the family affair.
