If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind the wax melts landing through your letterbox, here’s a little look behind the scenes. I’m Emma – founder, maker, packer, designer, and everything in between here at Chandlers Wax Melts. What started as a side hussle soon grew into a full-blown obsession (and eventually, a business) – and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
A Business Built from the back of a shop
I didn’t start with a fancy setup or big funding. Just a small kitchen worktop in the back of my DIY shop, a few basic tools, and a love for strong wax melts that actually fill a room. I couldn’t find anything on the market that was highly scented enough for my taste – so I started making my own.
After lots of testing (and a few disasters), I finally created something I was proud of: highly scented soy wax melts, handmade in small batches using fragrance blends I genuinely loved.
Fast forward five years, and I’m still pouring every batch myself – but with hundreds of loyal customers and repeat orders I’m so grateful for.
Why I Do What I Do
Like many of you, I wear a lot of hats – I’m a mum of three, carer to a loved one, and someone who values the small things that bring comfort and calm. Wax melts might seem like a small luxury, but for me, they’re a ritual – a few minutes to reset the mood, lift a space, or wind down after a busy day.
That’s why every product I make has to earn its place. I don’t release scents unless they’re long-lasting, room-filling, and genuinely loved by my customers (and me!).
