What does "hand poured" really mean?
It means no machines. No factories. Just a careful pour, made by real hands.
Our process begins with melting our signature rapeseed and coconut wax blend. Once it reaches the perfect temperature, we blend in our fragrance oils, prepare each jar or mould, and pour every candle one by one.
This gives us more control over:
- Scent distribution
- Wax consistency
- Burn quality
And it means every candle is made with attention and care, not mass-produced under factory lights.
Why hand poured candles are better
Careful production and affordable luxury are central to the Northern Wood Co brand, but that’s not all.
Better for people
Every candle is created with safety in mind. We use non-toxic ingredients, clean wax, and carefully selected fragrance oils that are kind to your home environment.

Hand pouring gives us control over waste, energy use, and materials. Our candles are eco-friendly and:
- Paraffin-free
- Vegan & cruelty-free
- Poured into recyclable or reusable jars
- Shipped in plastic-free packaging
Better for local business
When you buy hand poured candles from us, you’re supporting a small UK business that puts people and the planet first.

Hand poured candle FAQs
What does “hand poured candles” mean?
It means each candle is poured by hand in small batches, not mass-produced with machines.
Are hand poured soy candles safe?
Soy wax emits less toxic soot than paraffin, but it does still emit some, which over time can build up. Soy wax is also often mixed with other ingredients making some candles less clean. This, along with the alarming deforestation in the areas where the soy is grown has led us to choose rapeseed and coconut wax blend for a safer, cleaner burn.
Are Yankee candles hand poured?
Most mass-produced candles like Yankee are machine-poured. Ours are made entirely by hand.
What candles did Kate Middleton have at her wedding?
Reportedly Jo Malone, but we think she’d love a hand poured Nag Champa too!
