Cornwall meets California: The coastal soul behind our eco soy candles
When you light a scented candle from Kernowfornia Soul®, you're not just filling your space with beautiful fragrance you're unlocking the spirit of two iconic coastlines: Cornwall and California. At first glance, these places may be oceans apart, but dig a little deeper and you’ll find they share the same retro bohemian, laid back lifestyle, an obsession with surf culture, and a deep rooted love for nature’s raw beauty.
After years of travelling to California we were inspired by the wild beauty of both coasts, our hand poured candles capture the spirit of the surf, a deep connection to nature, and a laid-back vibe wrapped in a rad, retro eco design that brings coastal soul into your space.
A candle brand with a conscience
In both Cornwall and California, sustainability isn't a trend it’s a way of life. We’ve taken that ethos to heart by creating eco candles made from 100% natural soy wax, toxic free fragrances, and recyclable packaging. Every candle is hand poured in small batches, with a proportion of our profits being used for kelp project to help the fight against climate change and protect our oceans.
We believe candles should not only smell good but do good for the planet, for your health, and for the spaces you love most.
Scented candles for Surfers & Ocean lovers
Surf culture runs deep in both Kernow and California, shaping everything from fashion to food and now, fragrance. Our collection of scented candles channels that energy into curated blends designed to relax the mind, ground the spirit, and remind you of days spent chasing waves or simply soaking in the salty air in your favourite surf cafe.
Looking for gifts for surfers or ocean lovers? Our candles make the perfect present, with incredible clean burning scents, rad design and eco conscious soul.
Why choose soy candles?
Unlike paraffin candles that can release harmful toxins into your home (and soot), our soy candles burn clean, last longer, and deliver a smoother scent experience. By choosing soy, you’re also supporting a renewable resource one that aligns with the eco conscious living we see thriving from Newquay to Malibu.
And because every Kernowfornia Soul® candle is hand poured, you’re guaranteed quality, love, and a unique sensory experience that mass produced candles just can’t match.
