About the Founder
Philip Yeardley
Sea Zen began during a tough time in my life, when I turned to candle-making as a way to heal and slow down. What started as a personal ritual became a small business focused on wellness, simplicity, and intention.
FAQ'S
Are your candles made with natural ingredients?
Yes! Our candles are handcrafted in New Zealand. We do not use any synthetic fragrances or harmful additives, ensuring a clean and safe burn.
Follow these tips for a long-lasting and clean burning candle.
Enhance your candle experience with these four simple steps.

Candle Tip #1 Allow the candle to create a full 'melt pool' On the first burn it's important to allow the candle wax to fully melt and reach the edges of the tin to prevent tunnelling. This process may take a couple hours, depending on the environmental conditions. |
Candle Tip #2 Trim the wick For optimal burning trim the wick to 5mm (approx. half a pinky nail) after the first burn and before each subsequent lighting. Use scissors or a wick trimmer for cutting. Trimming the wick improves the candles efficiency. | ![]() |

Candle Tip #3 Avoid air flow Avoid placing candles near open windows, fans, or any other sources of air movement. Drafts or breezes can cause the flame to burn unevenly (and can pose a fire risk). |
Candle Tip #4 Keep the candle clean To keep candles free from dust and debris, store them in a cool, dry place with the lid on. | ![]() |
What benefits do your essential oil candles provide?
Each candle is infused with carefully selected essential oils to enhance well-being. For example, lavender promotes relaxation and better sleep, citrus scents boost energy and mood, and eucalyptus supports clear breathing and stress relief.
Do you ship outside of New Zealand?
At this time, we only ship within New Zealand nationwide. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest quality and ensuring your candles arrive safely and quickly.
How can I get the longest burn time from my candle?
To maximize your candle’s lifespan, trim the wick to 5mm before each burn, let the wax melt evenly across the top on the first use, and avoid burning for more than 4 hours at a time. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn.
