A mum founded, all mum team
We chose to do things differently.
The UK's original candle refill company, since May 2020
We built a business where being a mum comes first. Where being a parent comes first.
All too often, mums are expected to raise their children like they don't work, and work like they don't have children. We're told we can have it all. The truth is, it's not that simple, and it isn't that easy.
So we went against the grain. We stepped away from hustle culture and the pressure to always be open, always be making, always be available. We chose to run our business on our terms, rather than the way we're told a business should be run.
That's why our shop opens just four times a year.
When we open

Why we work this way
-
1
Being a mum comes first
We work around school runs, sports days and summer holidays. No guilt, no juggling, and no choosing between our jobs and our children.
-
2
No hustle culture
We don't chase constant demand or stay open around the clock. We open when it's right, and we rest when it's right.

Everyone gets what they want
We plan and pour for every opening, so you can order the scents you love without them going out of stock.
Opening four times a year isn't about being exclusive. It's about running a business that fits around our families, not the other way round.
The people
Six weeks off, every summer.
We truly believe flexibility should be a priority, not a privilege, when you're a parent. That's why at The Refillable Candle Co, we close for the six week summer holidays.
Our team get to be fully present with their children, without the financial burden, the stress or the guilt of juggling the summer holidays alongside being a working parent.
Our candle subscriptions make this possible. They have become the backbone of our business, and they have allowed us to close for the summer three years in a row.
That's what your subscription supports. A small brand where people come before profits, where every box is made with care, and where being a mum has always come first.

Worth the wait.
Our amazing customers have supported us every step of the way. They're happy to wait, because they know what's behind every candle. We're more than just a candle company. We're a family run business.
