Our Story

The Flicker & Flame journey started back in mid 2020 when we really wanted to start a hobby and a bit of a side hustle, with our love for candles it just made sense to start our candle journey!

​

Along with the candles also came diffusers, wax melts and more recently our make your own candle station (found at our markets). You'll also find our body and bath range - Lather & Bubbles. Specialising in soaps, body wash, sugar scrubs, lip balms and more. We are forever introducing new products to fit our market so keep an eye out on our socials!

We are proud to be supporting local businesses with the purchase of our supplies from mostly NZ companies but also reaching across the Tasman to our neighbours in Australia. 

​

Our main drive is always customer satisfaction - this means ensuring products arrive in a timely manner, arrive safely and make your space smell amazing!

Why Soy Wax?

The key features and benefits from the soy wax we use:

  • Made from 100% natural, plant based products making it vegan friendly.

  • Produces less soot than a paraffin wax candle.

  • Has an even and calm burn meaning it is longer lasting.

  • Great overall performance with scent throw.

  • Renewable and kind to the environment.

​

Where does soy wax actually come from?

Soy wax is derived from the oil of soybeans. After the soybeans are harvested, the beans are cleaned, cracked, dehulled, and rolled into flakes. It is from these flakes that the oil is extracted to then be hydrogenated. Hydrogenating oil is the process of converting some of its fatty acids from unsaturated to saturated, which raises the melting point of the oil to where it is a solid at room temperature.
