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!

Let customers speak for us
from 35 reviewsLove, love, love the wax melts. They have a subtle perfume throughout the whole house. Can't wait to try the other scents
Christmas Pudding Candles are one of my absolute favourite fragrances. In fact, I have them out all year in my house ;)
My absolute favourite Wax & Lye fragrance. And I have a lot of favourites 😂 but this just transports me to summer in the garden in Scotland when the roses bloomed. I don't have a rose garden in Australia so definite memories of home.
The soap is the best, it really cleans your skin not like many other soaps I have used. my skin feels really soft and clean as it gets into the skin. Highly recommend it 👍👍
I love these candles, they are beautifully scented, have never given me a headache! 💖💖💖
Soap saver bags are an excellent buy. Very good quality, last for ages, and keep the shower free from soap mess.
A deliciously christmas scent I will be buying again.
Beautiful. I split thrbox and gave as individual gifts. Very popular and smelled divine.
The Mystery Box is amazing. A huge variety, excellent quality and a lovely surprise. I would highly recommend.
It was wonderful to receive such a varied collection of W&L soaps, many I hadn't tried before. I'm looking forward to working my way through them. The price is a great bargain, too.
I’ve bought this over several Christmas’s now when I can get it, my child loves it and it’s actually one of the nicest soaps I’ve used. No reaction with our chronic eczema either! I actually wait for it to drop! He loves some cheeky coal in his stocking!
If coffee makes your mornings better, wait till you try it on your skin! This coffee soap is my new obsession — it scrubs, it smooths, and it smells so good I almost forget it’s not drinkable. My skin’s never felt softer, and my shower smells like a café. Love.

Mythbusters: Triple Scented Candles
“Triple scented” sounds powerful. But in candle making, real strength comes from balance — not bold labels.
