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 36 reviewsI have been searching for this scent for years and I have finally found it smells like a cabin in the Australian bush in wildflower season 10/10 will be buying more <3
Love, 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!
