ABOUT LITTLE BATCH WAX CO:

When I moved to New Zealand from Detroit eight years ago, I was incredibly homesick.

 

The smells, the seasons — everything felt different.

 

One day, I decided to make my own candle to recreate the scents I missed most. My first was Pumpkin Chai. I lit one in every room, and for the first time in a long time, I felt at home.

​

As I learned more about candle-making, I was surprised to find that most store-bought candles use paraffin and synthetic fragrances — things I did not want to be breathing in.

​

So I set out to make candles differently:

- 100% pure soy wax 
- Phthalate-free fragrance oils
- Recyclable glass jars and packaging
- A refill program for reusing vessels you love

​

What started as one candle on my kitchen stovetop has grown into cozy community. Through our Candle Club (100 members strong) and in-person workshops, we celebrate the seasons together.

​

Little Batch now has its very own home too — our physical space at 152A Manukau Rd, Pukekohe. Here, you’ll find candles, workshops, business meetups and more - I want it to feel like a soft landing for our community of candle lovers.

​

When I’m not pouring wax, you’ll probably find me chasing my boys Noah and Carter, hiking, reading or reheating my coffee for the third time.

​

Thank you for being here.
