My Difference

I create unique and handmade candles that I personally test for quality, using minimal ingredients for a beautifully clean burn. I also support other locals and charities.

  • Unique candles

    Every candle we made is unique, representing a place or experience and our scent memories.

  • Handmade Candles

    We pour every candle, cut every wick, and create every label. Each candle is carefully polished and packed by us in Adelaide.

  • Extensively Tested

    Testing is super important. A rigorous testing process is carried out for every single type of candle sold.

  • Supporting Other Locals

    We are committed to purchasing our supplies from local businesses wherever possible. Partnering with other small businesses is our passion- whether to create their staff gifts, create branded candles for clients or wholesale, or to simply promote their amazing work via our social media channels. We love helping support others as much as possible.

  • High Quality Ingredients

    One of the benefits of buying small batch hand-poured candles, is that high quality ingredients are used. Soy coconut wax and cotton wicks are used to make sure you get the cleanest burning candles.

FAQs

I listed below a range of frequently asked questions from my amazing customers. If you don't find an answer to your question feel free to contact me directly.

  • How do I take care of my candle?

    Candle care is important, not only for safety but to maximise the burn time and scent throw of your candle. Trim your wick before every burn, and make sure you burn your candle for long enough for the wax to melt right to the edges of the vessel. Follow the safety instructions on the care card included with your purchase. Consider your fragrance needs when selecting your candle for purchase; if you want the keep your candle lit for a longer time, choose a larger candle. If you have a smaller room to fragrance, choose a smaller candle. High traffic area? A diffuser would suit perfectly.

  • What are your candles made of?

    Sox way, fragrance oil, with a pure cotton wick. That’s it.

  • How do you make your fragrances?

    I hand blend each fragrance using my own personal recipe (which is one secret I’ll never tell!). Each is extensively tested before being released for sale.

  • Do you offer wholesale?

    Absolutely, please contact me to discuss becoming a stockist.

  • Do you have a shop I can visit?

    We do not have a physical shop, however several stores in Adelaide stock Within the Chaos Candles. Please visit our instagram for details of current stockists @withinthechaoscandleco.

    Candle care is important, not only for safety but to maximise the burn time and scent throw of your candle. Trim your wick before every burn, and make sure you burn your candle for long enough for the wax to melt right to the edges of the vessel. Don’t let the pool of wax become too deep. Follow the safety instructions on your candle care card.
