Robbins Candle Co. craft and sell candles that are kinder to you and the environment, offering a clean, long-lasting burn in a variety of scents. All of their product and packaging are plastic free and non-toxic.

The company was set up during first UK lockdown and after 3 months of diligent trying (and some failing), they cracked the magic to creating candles with gorgeous scents that are good for your home and the planet. They decided on recycled cans/tins giving the word ‘sustainable’ to new meaning within the candle world. They wanted to avoid ‘brought for purpose’ vessels and instead opted for cans, giving this everyday household item a second life before they are recycled. The tins come from friends, family and even local businesses – they are not purchased specially and are instead 100% donated. These candles are quirky, one of a kind, offer special seasonal scents all year around. Most of all they look and smell damn good in the house.

Over lockdown 1.0 they donated a ‘Poppy Canned Candle’ for every candle they sold throughout October. These went to nominated military and NHS workers, #everydayheroes. These were delivered before 11th November in time for Remembrance Day.

Robbins Candle Co. follow a reduce, reuse, recycle ethos within their company, they are a low waste company, hoping to build a ‘good for the planet’ recognisable brand. In 2021 they hope to bring in a refill option for their canned candles.

On a personal note: We connected online a few months ago and I gifted a canned candle (Red Berry & Holly) to my parents who love it – swipe to see a picture of it in the house. Fun fact, at one point I was dabbling with making candles as well…but then realised there were far more talented people doing it, such as @robbincandle.co
