About Us

Welcome to Retro Bloom, where we specialize in creating vibrant and funky soy wax candles at affordable prices.

While exploring the candle market, I struggled to find anything that truly matched my style. The mainstream market often favours paraffin wax, while smaller businesses tended towards simplistic designs. I envisioned something brighter, more colourful, and with a funky vibe. And thus, Retro Bloom was born.

My candle-making journey began in 2015, during my university years when I was 20. Initially a hobby, it provided a relaxing escape amid my studies. Although I had to put it on hold during my early career, I rediscovered my passion for candle making more recently. After ten months of trial and error, I finally perfected the formula for the candles I had always envisioned.

At Retro Bloom, we are proud to offer vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, and paraben-free candles. We use 100% soy wax sourced from the EU, and our vibrant colours are created with Bekro candle dye. We prioritize UK-based suppliers to support local businesses. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our eco-friendly practices. While we are not perfect, we strive to make positive changes wherever possible. Our packaging is made from recyclable Kraft paper and cardboard, and our labels are fully recyclable using vegan ink. We are revaluating our products to ensure we are following sustainable practices.
