🔎 Choose a safe place to observe ⁠
🐶 Keep dogs under close control ⁠
🦭 Watch respectfully without the seals noticing ⁠

Dive into World Ocean’s Day and celebrate the mesmerising beauty of our blue planet. Living in Cornwall, we feel the importance of our seas even more deeply.

In honour of our awe-inspiring ocean, here are three fascinating sea facts you might not know:

🌊 The open oceans are the world’s largest ecosystems: Vast and teeming with life, our oceans are the planet's most extensive and diverse habitats.

🪸 The ocean absorbs about 30% of human-produced carbon dioxide: Acting as a giant, natural carbon sink, our oceans play a vital role in regulating the Earth's climate.

🎣 Over 3 billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods: The ocean is not just a source of wonder but also a critical provider for billions around the world.

Our Story

Nestled on a farm in North Cornwall, St. Eval was born from humble beginnings, carefully crafting candles by hand in the family farmhouse kitchen. Fast forward over 25 years and we still use the same traditional, artisan methods as we believe they are well worth preserving. Our unique pots, wax blends and fragrances are all inspired by nature and the beautiful Cornish countryside surrounding us.

We use the finest ingredients and materials from renewable sources and are proudly able to produce our own sustainable energy via wind, solar and biomass; helping to reduce our carbon footprint and impact on the environment. Sustainability is at the forefront of our focus, keeping with our company ethos to “tread softly on the earth”.

We apply a combination of traditional artisan methods including drawing, pouring and moulding. This ensures that each candle is made with a personal touch and results in a finished product superior in quality, fragrance and burn.

With over 30 different fragrances to choose from, in a variety of pots, pillars, hand soaps and lotions and reed diffusers too, there really is something for everyone. Discover invigorating Bay & Rosemary, soothing Tranquillity, fresh and fruity Fig and uplifting Bergamot & Nettle to name a few.
