Our Core
Born in 2018, grown with love, and still poured by hand.
Joyful scents with story
Each collection is inspired by real moments and memories.
Handmade with heart
We pour everything in-house, in small batches.
Culture
Our roots are deep — and our growth is shared with you.
Creative, not corporate
You’ll always feel the warmth, not the mass production.
About Us
Founded by Rach, Bear Burners is a proudly female-led, family-run business rooted in resilience, creativity, and a whole lot of heart. What began as a tiny spark of a dream has grown into a much-loved home fragrance brand - lighting up homes (and TikTok feeds) all across the UK.
Rach, with her unstoppable energy and her family by her side, BUILT Bear Burners from the ground up. What came next? A wildly supportive customer base, a thriving TikTok community, and the now-legendary Candle Cave.
We’re all about creating scents that mean something - whether they remind you of home, a holiday, or just your happy place. Every melt and candle is hand-poured with love using vegan soy wax, packaged with care, and sent out with a smile.
In 2024, we opened our new dream store in East Boldon, complete with a bigger and better Candle Cave - a magical, in-person workshop space where customers can pour their own creations and make memories together.

Our Story
2018 - The First Pour
It all began with Rach, a jug of soy wax, and a big dream. She started Bear Burners at the kitchen table, pouring each order by hand and posting wax melts from home. It was small, but it was magical.
2020 - The First Shop
We moved into our very first premises! After years of kitchen tables and wax-covered corners, Bear Burners finally had a little space to stretch. Rach was still doing it all solo.
2022 - Candle Club
We launched Candle Club our monthly subscription and started selling out collections faster than we could pour. From themed drops to loyal subscribers, our scent family was growing faster than ever.
2024 - The Big Glow Up
We grew the business by over 500%, hit milestones we never thought possible, and secretly signed the lease for our dream space. We smashed every goal, every collection, and every late night.
2019 - Building the Dream
Still working from home, growing the empire one pour at a time. Boxes were building up in Rach’s living room, the wax never stopped melting, and every order carried big dreams in small packages.
2021 - The Second Shop
Rach’s husband James officially joined the crew and brought fresh energy. We opened a new, slightly bigger shop - still tiny, but it felt huge to us. Bit by bit, we were building something real.
2023 - Tik Tok Changed Everything
We took a leap and joined TikTok and everything changed. We had so much fun, finally found our voice, and brought even more people into our world. This was the year we grew our team.
NOW - 50,000 Bears Sold
This year, we made the big move into our current premises - complete with our magical Candle Cave, workshop, and content studio. We’ve welcomed more amazing people into the Bear Burners team, expanded our range, and created a space full of creativity, laughter, and LOTS of wax.
