Our Story

Creating an environment that enriches people's lives and treading softly on the earth is the St. Eval vision which began over 28 years ago. These values remain at the very heart of our inspiration for creating beautiful candles, home fragrances and natural body care.

B Corp Certified and based on our farm in Cornwall, UK, we place people and the planet at the centre of our business. Grounded in nature and rooted in tradition, watch the video to take a glimpse behind the scenes and learn our story.

 

 

Keeping traditions alive

Nestled on our working farm in North Cornwall, St Eval Candle Company was born from humble beginnings, crafting candles by hand in the family farm house kitchen. 

Keen to keep traditional crafts alive and with our spirits rooted in all things natural, we sought inspiration from our beautiful surroundings in the Cornish countryside; creating pots, candles and fragrances inspired by nature.

Heritage and craftmanship

Today, we're celebrating over 28 years of perfecting the art and science of making candles. We use a combination of traditional, artisan methods so that each candle is made with a personal touch to ensure superior quality in style, fragrance and burn.
