B Corp Month | Our Journey So Far

B Corp Month | Our Journey So Far

Achieving our verified status as a B Corporation in August 2022 was an incredible milestone in our sustainability journey; a journey that has spanned nearly 30 years, since St. Eval was first founded. We are still maintaining the same traditional methods of candle making and finding inspiration in the stunning Cornish coast and countryside around us. With this beautiful source of inspiration right on our doorstep, we are constantly inspired and see it as our great duty and privilege to be able to go beyond, giving back to nature and protecting the world around us.

Fragrance Friday | Camomile Lawn

Fragrance Friday | Camomile Lawn

Here at St. Eval we feel truly blessed to live and work closely surrounded by the stunning Cornish outdoors, and we’re lucky to have such a gorgeous source of inspiration right on our doorstep. We are constantly conjuring up new and exciting fragrances, taking our inspiration from the beauty of nature and our close affinity with the natural world. After a meadow of wild camomile was discovered on the farm here at St. Eval, we couldn’t help but be inspired by this wonderful scent and we created Camomile Lawn to evoke the wonderful feelings of joy that come from being surrounded by pretty wildflowers in summertime.
