About Cefnfor Candle Company
Candles that are kind!
After hitting the menopause at 39, suffering with severe anxiety and being diagnosed with chronic fatigue, among other things, I decided to look at ways I could take better care of my mental and physical health.
​
I began cold water therapy and being so close to the sea, meant I became a regular sea dipper. It inspires me, the ocean. Having been passionate about doing what I can for the planet for some time, I was always looking at ways to be a more conscious consumer .
Where do candles come into all of this hear you ask? Im getting there, bear with me. Candles have forever been my little treat to myself, the candle light, the scent, it can almost transport me to far away place or memory, most definitely part of my self care, so during our first lockdown, I bought myself a small candle making kit and WOW, the freedom?, it was mind blowing!! When I made candles I was free, I was calm, my mind was quiet. Welcome to the 'meditation of creation' I was hooked!!
Cefnfor candles was born. I was determined to find a way to make a candle that was kind. It took some time and lots of mistakes but I'm so proud to have a refillable candle and to be part of a circular economy.
My candles and my love of the ocean are so deeply connected. I often make candles after my sea swims and I pour all that positive energy into every single candle, and my hope, is when your candle arrives it brings you all the joy it brought me In creating it.

Our Motto is: Be kind!

Be kind to ourselves, kind to each other, kind to animals and kind to the planet. Cefnfor is welsh for ocean and my candles are inspired by how and where I live. Living near the coast, I see every day the affect waste has on our big blue pool. with over 300 million candles burned every year, that's a lot of empty jars?!
​
Its why here at Cefnfor we've created the never ending candle (kind of). One jar with an infinite amount of (my custom made) refills. My pots are handmade in Wales, each one unique, no two exactly the same. I then lovingly make the candles in my little kitchen using plant based wax which is biodegradable and vegan. I use sustainable fragrances and essential oils. I also try to use minimal packaging to reduce waste.

No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted.....

Cefnfor candles are really beautiful and smell amazing. The best part is the no black smoke and clean burn. Every last drop burns in the jar! The jars are beautiful and I want one in every room in my house!

Just wow! For my first candle I chose the coconut dream scent and it just smells immense, even when not burning it has the soft beautiful coconut aroma wafting around it. Beautiful. The Penrhiw Pottery pots are also absolutely beautiful and works so well with the candles. The perfect compliment to eachother. The whole ethos of Cefnfor Candle Company is just spot on, an ethical business with an amazing woman behind the product.

I received the candle holder and the date night refill as a gift and i am in LOVE!!! I want to let you know that everything about the candle is perfect. I lit it in my room and my mum who was in a different room downstairs could smell it. it burns slowly which means i feel like i’ll have this candle for weeks. I cannot wait to order and try other scents, the sandalwood is really calling my name. Diolch !
