Our STORY
Simply translated Saarti means beautiful ceremony of light. 'Sa art' is the Cambodian word for beautiful and Aarti is the name of the spectacular Hindu ceremony of light involving candles and incense.
Our journey started in 2012 when Saarti Founder, Beck Scougall, made her first candle creation in Siem Reap, Cambodia. A passionate advocate of fair trade and conscious consumerism, Beck wanted to create an eco-lifestyle brand using natural and ethical products with the key objective of creating sustainable employment for artisans in Cambodia. The SAARTI candle collection now includes the signature range of hand poured blessing bowl candles, exquisite hand crafted ceramic candles and a beautiful glass 'Kindness Collection' range giving back profits to the community. We also craft natural essential oil perfumes, body, skin and hair care products as well as 100% natural pure essentials oils. At SAARTI, we are committed to using the finest natural ingredients, ethically sourced from Cambodia and the surrounding region and empowering local communities through employment. |
