Meet the maker Helen Cook

Welcome to Cottage Candles

Based in Rutland, England's smallest county, here you will find luxurious handmade candles, made from 100% natural beeswax with pure cotton wicks.

I started making hand-rolled beeswax candles after purchasing a second-hand craft book from a local RAF thrift shop. I had taken some of my childrens old clothes in to sell and came out with a new hobby. I was inspired to try beeswax candlemaking because, as well as being made from the most environmentally- friendly, renewable source of wax there is, they also look fabulous. I started off with a candlemaking kit and was very soon hooked.

About Beeswax Candles: Pure beeswax candles do not contain any perfumes or chemicals and are therefore suitable for people with allergies or other sensitivities.

Not only do 100% natural beeswax candles burn with a brighter flame than ordinary paraffin wax candles, they also burn for longer and do not release chemicals or give off a sooty residue, making them a lovely addition to any home or a fantastic gift due to their eco-friendly properties.
