Welcome to Moonshine Candle Co!

I’m Catherine, the founder and candle maker behind Moonshine Candle Co — a small-batch candle business that began in lockdown - a time when life slowed, and Orkney’s serene landscapes became a daily source of reflection. I started making candles as a way to capture the calm moments of island living, filling my home with scents that reminded me of Orkney’s beauty and stillness.

From the very beginning, my mission has been to craft candles that evoke a sense of calm and connection. Hand-poured in small batches using 100% natural, vegan-friendly soy wax, each candle reflects Orkney’s raw beauty and a commitment to mindful, considered craftsmanship.

Moonshine Candle Co. exists to celebrate what makes this island so special—its landscapes, its tranquillity, and the sense of warmth and belonging it brings. Through scent, I hope to transport you to these moments, bringing the essence of Orkney into your home.
