Blend
We build each scent by hand from essential oils and phthalate-free fragrance, then let it rest for a week.
Our story
Poured by hand,
on the moon’s schedule
Hollow Moon began with one table, one pot of wax and a habit of lighting a candle to mark the day. Eight years on we still pour in batches of forty.
Why we make them
A candle is the smallest ritual you can own
Most of what we do in a day is automatic. Lighting a candle is not. You strike a match, you wait for the flame to catch, and for a minute you are paying attention to one thing.
So we make candles around the feelings people actually ask for: to rest, to focus, to feel safe, to begin, to let go. Each scent is built from real plant materials, and we test every blend for a month before it goes on sale.

The pour
From wax to your table in five steps
Melt
Soy and coconut wax are warmed slowly to 185°F so nothing scorches and the throw stays clean.
Pour
We pour at 135°F into vessels with the cotton wick centered by hand. Forty candles a batch, never more.
Cure
Every candle sits for seven days. The scent binds to the wax and the burn evens out.
Pack
Trimmed, labelled and wrapped in recycled tissue, then out the door in plastic-free packaging.
The calendar
Our next pour days
We pour on the new moon and the full moon, forty candles at a time. These dates come straight from the sky.
What we stand for
Small, clean, and made to be reused
Clean ingredients
Soy-coconut wax, cotton wicks with no metal core, and fragrance free of phthalates. The full list is on every product page.
Vessels worth keeping
Glass and ceramic that wash clean and live on as vases and pen pots. Our cream ceramic is made in a family studio in Portugal.
Small by design
A batch of forty means we taste every scent, check every wick and fix mistakes before they ship. We would rather sell out than rush.
