Yarra Light Hand Poured Scented Candles

Welcome to Yarra Light, where every candle is hand-poured with care right here in Melbourne. Inspired by the beauty of the Australian landscape, we create high-quality, natural candles designed to bring warmth, comfort, and a touch of nature into your home.

Established in 2025, we are a proud Australian small business with a big passion for creating candles that truly make a difference. Creating the perfect candle wasn’t just a goal—it was a journey. It took us time and dedication to craft candles that stand out in the market. We believe in doing things the right way, never cutting corners, because our customers deserve the best.

Every candle we make is a reflection of our commitment to excellence. From carefully selected ingredients to meticulous craftsmanship, we ensure each one brings warmth, elegance, and a touch of magic to your space. At Yarra Light, we believe in crafting more than just candles—we create moments. Whether it’s the soft crackle of our wooden wicks or the carefully blended scents that evoke the essence of the Australian bush, our candles are made to enhance your space and your mood.

We take pride in using premium ingredients, from natural soy wax to high-quality fragrance oils, ensuring a clean and long-lasting burn. Our commitment to sustainability means our candles are free from harmful additives, and we use eco-friendly packaging wherever possible. Each candle is thoughtfully crafted to bring you a little piece of Australia, no matter where you are.

We truly believe that in today’s busy world, we all have so much on our plates that we often forget to take care of ourselves.

Our mission is to help people unwind, slow down and find peace of mind—simply by lighting a candle and being in the moment. The ritual of lighting a candle, breathing in its soothing aroma, and embracing the present is exactly what we need to pause, recharge, and restore balance.

Thank you for supporting our small business and being part of the Yarra Light journey.

Every candle is unique!

Every candle we create is hand-poured in small batches in our cozy home studio, making each one a little different — and a lot special.

Fantastic for You and the Planet

We take pride in using premium ingredients, from 100% natural soy wax to high-quality fragrance oils, ensuring a clean and long-lasting burn.

At our small business, every candle is hand-poured with love using 100% natural soy wax produced in USA from US-grown soybeans — and here’s why that matters:

  • Cleaner Burn – No toxins, no pollutants, no paraffin.
  • Eco-Friendly – Soy wax is biodegradable and renewable, making it a planet-friendly choice.
  • Longer Lasting – Burns slower and more evenly, so you enjoy your candle longer.
  • Better Scent Throw – Gently fills your space with fragrance without overpowering.

Go Green with our Earth-Friendly Shipping

Our process is slow, intentional, and rooted in sustainability.

We use Australian-made eco-friendly packaging, recycled mailers, acid-free tissue paper, and biodegradable packing peanuts — because reducing our environmental impact is more than a goal, it’s our commitment.

Tiny fireplace in your candle...

Here are just a few reasons why we’re obsessed with wood wicks — and you might be too:

  • Sustainably Sourced
    Our wood wicks are FSC-certified, harvested from responsibly managed forests.
  • Crackling Ambience
    Enjoy the soft crackle of a wood wick — like a tiny fireplace in your candle.
  • Cleaner Burn
    Less soot, less smoke, and a healthier burn for your space.
  • Longer Burn Time
    Burns slower and more evenly, giving more hours of beautiful fragrance and glow.
