The Herberowe Candle Co makes natural wax candles that are hand poured in small batches in Lower Heyford. Using a blend of sustainable rapeseed and coconut wax, Herberowe products contain essential oils and support wellbeing, as well as adding natural long-lasting aromas to our homes. The apothecary inspired candles are free of soy, toxins, paraffin and other chemicals, and Sarah and Colin also make eco friendly wax air fresheners, which have been hugely popular. All their packaging and jars are reusable or recyclable. The company is named after a local ancient landscape feature and the candles are inspired by the heritage and flora of the local area. For every candle sold, a donation will be made to MIND.
Listen to the story of Sarah’s business in S2 E8 of the Independent Oxford Podcast.
Local businesses are more important than ever. From taking our inspiration for our products from the local area to working in partnership with other local independent businesses, and building lasting relationships with customers – Oxfordshire is rich in innovative, creative, dynamic indie businesses and we are proud to be part of this community.
