Our story
"We started Pourable because we hated throwing away beautiful jars."
We're a small, independent candle company based in Newcastle. We believe that candles should be refillable, that jars are too beautiful to throw away, and that you shouldn't have to choose between a great scent and a clean conscience.
"I've always loved candles — but I hated throwing away the jars. And when my favourite scents started triggering migraines, I knew something had to change."
This is Cheryl. She's the heart and hands behind The Pourable Candle Company — and her story starts exactly where you'd expect: surrounded by candles, with a growing pile of beautiful empty jars she couldn't bring herself to throw away.
But it wasn't just the waste that bothered her. After years of burning paraffin wax candles, Cheryl started suffering from migraines — and when she looked into why, the answer was in the wax itself. Paraffin is a petroleum by-product that releases toxins when burned. She needed a cleaner alternative.
The solution was soy wax and pure essential oils — natural, clean-burning, and genuinely therapeutic. Combined with the idea of refilling rather than replacing, The Pourable Candle Company was born. Same beautiful jars. Better wax. No migraines.
