Handmade in the Hunter!

Tucked away on a cattle farm in the Hunter Valley, Wax & Lye is a proudly Australian small business creating handmade home and body products with heart.

Since 2017, Wax & Lye has been known for its artisan candles, soaps, bath treats, and beautifully curated gift packs — all made in small batches from a farm-based workshop, surrounded by sunflowers, scent, and a whole lot of creativity!

Meet the Maker

I’m Kate — maker, mum, and founder of Wax & Lye. What started as a creative escape in 2017 has grown into a small-batch brand making artisan candles, soaps, and home fragrances by hand in my farm workshop in regional NSW.
