About Us

Green Shed produces ethically made luxury candles and home fragrance products.

Founder Sarah is a self-confessed evangelical candle maker, in that she aims to produce not only ethically made products but ones that are luxurious and cost effective.

Green Shed is so named as Sarah bought a shed specifically for candle making, having outgrown the constraints of her kitchen — or more specifically her family's patience as the area became more workshop-like every week.

It wasn't long before the shed itself was outgrown, and a move to a dedicated workshop has made manufacturing much more efficient. It has also created room for new product development, with a wider choice of products and more consistent stock levels.

Having decided to make candles as ethically as possible, Sarah began by working with soy wax and essential oils, alongside a fragrance oil blend that sat within her ethical remit.

Over time, Sarah moved away from soy wax as sustainability concerns around its sourcing grew. After several months of testing different plant-based alternatives, she settled on the wax she uses today — a choice she could not be more pleased with.

As well as meeting her ethical considerations, it produces beautiful candles that customers love for their excellent scent throw and burn quality.

Green Shed has a core fragrance range, including a number of bespoke blends — a particular passion of Sarah's. The range continues to evolve, with new and refined scents added on an ongoing basis.
