About Us

Maras melts literally came about on a whim, as a "trying to be more sustainable" mother who is a candle addict. I found in our 2020 pandemic lockdown I was home a lot more, burning a lot more candles for my sanity!!

Obviously being a mother of asthmatic children, I had time on my hands to research what went into my favourite candles, the more and more I researched, the more I started making conscious decisions about what type and where I got my candles- I started to buy soy wax candles and found them to be much better in terms of longevity and scent throw and easier on the chests of the little people I reside with.

In November 2020 around Black Friday sales, I was looking to buy a giant candle (sad I know- but my favourite time of year to get one lol!!) I also saw a beginners Soy Wax candle kit for the same price as the candle I was eyeing up- so I thought I would challenge myself as I'm far from crafty and make some candles to gift over the Christmas season to friends and family.

I posted my hard work on social media and that's how Maras Melts got here and its an ultimate privilege to do this and we really hope we can remain to serve the wonderful people we have come across so far.
