Candles by the Ocean was founded in the summer of 2017 by Stewart Dunlop and Kirsty Hair. Growing up near the seaside in Ayrshire we wanted a brand name that captured this and reminded us of our childhood. Selling handmade home fragrance products using soy wax, we are based in Ayrshire and source our ingredients and raw materials from the UK (as much as possible from Scotland). Our aim is to provide high quality products for affordable prices.
