Otterburn Candles Welcome. We supply Handcrafted Soy Wax Candles. Our oils are mixed into the wax to ensure an even fragrance distribution throughout the entire candle, not just sprayed around the outside of the candle or packaging. Every single candle is fragranced using the maximum amount of oil the wax will hold. Your health may be at risk if you are burning paraffin based candles!!
