At Shearer Candles, we’ve been handcrafting candles since 1897. Over a century of making has taught us a lot about patience, about quality, and about the importance of doing things the right way. We are always reflecting on how our work fits into the bigger picture and how we can continue to create with care, for both people and the planet.
Sustainability is at the heart of our craft. We believe that making something beautiful shouldn’t cost the earth - literally or figuratively. That’s why we’re always looking for ways to improve how we do things. From sourcing responsibly, to using recyclable materials, to designing products that last - our goal is simple: to tread lightly while continuing to deliver the quality and consistency you’ve come to expect from us.
Our wax blends are chosen not just for performance, but for sustainability. Our wicks are made from cotton. Our packaging is either recyclable, reusable, or both. And our production process - carried out in our British factory - is built on efficiency, not excess. These small choices matter. Over time, they add up.
But for us, sustainability isn’t just about materials. It’s about values. It’s about supporting skilled jobs here in the UK. It’s about buying responsibly, making thoughtfully, and encouraging our customers to do the same. Every candle we make reflects that mindset - a product with purpose, made to be used, enjoyed, and appreciated.
We invite you to slow down and enjoy life’s simple pleasures - the soft glow of candlelight, the comfort of a favourite fragrance, a moment of calm at the end of the day. Because the more we value these small rituals, the more we remember what’s worth protecting.
Thank you for supporting local, sustainable craft. And for choosing candles that are made with care - from our hands to your home.
With best wishes,
The Shearer Candles Team
