About Us

At Sun Theory we firmly believe in quality and reducing waste. We take old, used containers and repurpose them into scented candles. We believe that by conserving existing resources we reduce the need to harvest new materials to meet our society’s demands and reduce the amount of “trash” we bury in the earth just to dispose of it. You can find a variety of unique candles from teacups and mugs to jars and ceramics - all handmade or thrifted. 



All of our candles are made with all natural soy wax and thoughtfully sourced oils.

Our soy wax 100% natural and renewable that’s grown and produced in the U.S. Soy candles burn a lot slower than paraffin wax and don’t emit harmful gases like paraffin candles do and are carbon neutral.
