Eldara is a brand dedicated to creating handcrafted, intention-infused candles, greeting cards, and spiritual tools to support mindfulness, ritual, and personal transformation.

Our studio is in Barnt Green, Worcestershire, where all our candles and products are handcrafted with care.

You can email us at hello@eldara.co.uk with any questions about our products, workshops, or spiritual practice.

Our candles are made with pure essential oils, natural wax blends, moon-charged crystals, and hand-blended botanicals. Each one is created with intention, using sacred water, affirmations, and energy alignment.

We use natural ethically harvested soy, coconut, beeswax, and olive wax, chosen for their clean burn and spiritual resonance. 

Each candle description includes the specific wax blend used.

No, we only use pure essential oils to ensure natural, clean-burning aromatherapy benefits. Each candle typically contains a 10% essential oil blend.

Each crystal is ethically sourced, cleansed in sacred water, and charged under the moon before being placed in the candle.

We offer 1:1 consultations for tailored spiritual needs, where we can guide you on selecting the right candle for your practice. Contact us to discuss your requirements. 

If you are buying a candle as a gift please get in touch with us for a personalised message and  candle leaflet.

Always allow the first burn to reach the edges to prevent tunnelling. (typically burn for 2-3 hours)

Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use.

Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.

Some essential oils may not be suitable for animals, particularly citrus, tea tree, eucalyptus, and clove. These are listed in our candle care instructions.

Burn candles in a well-ventilated space and monitor your pets for sensitivity.

If in doubt - please DO NOT burn around your pets

This is rare; however, it is natural due to the blend of waxes and the high concentration of essential oils used. 

It does not affect the performance of the burn or scent throw.

 Always follow the proper candle safety guidelines we include with your candle to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Our candles comply with UK safety regulations, including:

General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR) 2005 – Ensuring all candles meet high safety standards.

Classification, Labelling & Packaging (CLP) Regulation (EC No 1272/2008) – Providing necessary hazard information for essential oils and fragrances.

How do I burn my candle safely?

Always remove all packaging before lighting.

Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Keep away from children, pets, and flammable objects.

Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time.

Why is the first burn important?

The first burn sets the "memory" of the wax. Let it melt to the edges of the jar (usually 2-3 hours) to prevent tunnelling.

How often should I trim the wick?

Trim the wick to ¼ inch (5mm) before each burn to ensure a steady flame and prevent soot or excess smoke.

What should I do if my candle burns unevenly?

Uneven burning can happen if the wick is too long or the candle isn’t placed on a level surface. Trim the wick and rotate the jar occasionally for even melting.

Can I burn my candle all the way down?

No, stop burning when ½ inch (1cm) of wax remains to prevent overheating and glass damage.

Why does my candle flicker or smoke?

This may be due to an untrimmed wick, a draft, or impurities in the wax. Trim the wick and move the candle away from any airflow.

What’s the best way to extinguish my candle?

Use a candle snuffer or place the lid over the flame. Blowing it out can cause wax splatter and create excess smoke.

Can I use my candle for skin application or ingestion?

No, our candles are for aromatherapy use only. Essential oils are potent and not safe for skin or consumption.

Are your candles safe for pets?

Some essential oils, such as citrus, eucalyptus, and clove, may not be safe for pets. Always burn in a well-ventilated space and monitor your pets for any reactions. If in doubt, do not burn around your pets.

What should I do if I spill melted wax?

Let the wax cool and harden, then gently scrape it off. Use warm, soapy water to remove any residue.

Can I reuse my candle vessel?

Yes! Once the wax is finished, clean the jar and repurpose it. We also offer a refill service—contact us for details.

How should I store my candle when not in use?

Keep your candle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, to preserve its fragrance and energy.

How do I dispose of leftover wax?

Let the wax cool and harden completely. 

Gently remove it using a spoon.

Never pour melted wax, essential oils, or candle residue down the sink or into waterways. Wax and oils can be harmful to aquatic life and may cause blockages in plumbing. 

To clean your vessel, wipe out any remaining residue with a cloth before washing with warm, soapy water.
