About us

At WaxandLight, every candle we create carries more than just fragrance—it carries a story of warmth, hope, and courage. Our journey began with a simple dream: to fill homes with light and comfort through handmade candles crafted with love and care.

But for us, light is not just about candles. It’s also about honoring the real heroes who light the path of our nation—the brave soldiers of the Indian Army. Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment inspire us every single day. That’s why we have pledged to contribute 2% of our monthly sales to support the Indian Army.

Every time you bring one of our candles into your home, you are not just choosing a piece of art—you are standing with the men and women who protect our country with unshakable strength. Together, we can share light where it’s needed the most, spreading both fragrance and faith.

Our candles are for moments of peace, love, and togetherness—and also for remembering that true courage burns brighter than any flame. With every flicker, let’s celebrate life, honor sacrifice, and keep the spirit of India glowing strong.

Frequently asked questions

All our candles are hand-poured with soy wax, to ensure that the candle burns clean. The wick and the wax are two elements in a candle that determine the amount of soot it emits. Paraffin-wax candles emit the maximum amount of soot which is why our candles are made with soy wax that is free of chemicals. Additionally, the wicks used in our candles are unbleached and made with cotton as opposed to a lead-core wick. Lead-based wick tends to release toxic debris and soot into the air, which makes it an unhealthy choice.

Our candles are made with 100% natural soy wax, which burns slower and cleaner than regular paraffin candles. On average, a medium-sized candle (180–200g) lasts anywhere between 30–40 hours, depending on how you care for it.

To make the most of it, we recommend letting the wax melt all the way to the edges during the first burn and trimming the wick a little before each light — that way, you’ll enjoy an even, longer-lasting glow.

It’s not just about hours — it’s about creating moments of calm and comfort that you can return to, again and again.

We believe every mood deserves its own fragrance, so we’ve curated a collection of carefully chosen scents — from calming florals like lavender and jasmine, to warm comforts like vanilla and sandalwood, and even rich luxury blends with oud, musk, and amber.

Right now, we offer 10+ signature fragrances (and we’re always exploring new ones!). Each one is designed to tell its own little story — whether you want your space to feel cozy, refreshing, romantic, or simply luxurious.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just a candle… it’s a fragrance journey.

Honestly, every candle makes a beautiful gift — but if we had to choose, our amber jar candles with wooden wicks are the most loved for gifting. They’re elegant, timeless, and come with that cozy crackle that feels extra special.

For something romantic, our heart-shaped and peony flower candles always steal hearts, while our gel candles with dried flowers or colorful details are perfect when you want a gift that’s unique and artistic.

At the end of the day, the best candle for gifting is the one that matches the person you’re giving it to — whether they love something calming, romantic, or a little luxurious. Each candle is hand-poured with love, so no matter which one you choose, it’ll carry a piece of warmth and thoughtfulness with it.

Wax and Light

We started with a simple belief—that light has the power to heal, connect, and inspire. From melting wax to blending fragrances, every candle we craft is made with love, carrying the warmth of human touch.
