About us

Hey there! Welcome to James Wax, where we light up your life (and rooms) with fun, laughter, and the sweetest scents. We popped onto the scene in 2019 with a mission – to infuse the world with candles that are more than just wax in a jar. Think presents that surprise, tickle your funny bone, and warm up hearts.

Our story? It all began over a round of tasty dumplings at Din Tai Fung (because great food inspires great ideas!). We envisioned a brand that wasn’t just another candle company, but more like your favorite t-shirt - easy, comfy, and guaranteed to make you feel good. So, we stirred up some 100% soy wax with certified clean fragrances, tagged each jar with a cheeky message, and voila – a James Wax candle was born.

Each candle we craft tells a story from our lives. Take for instance our "First Author" candle, inspired by a best friend’s achievement. Light it up, and you're not just enjoying a candle, you're celebrating hard work and dreams.

But we're not just selling candles, we're building a community. We host a weekly candle-making workshop at our studio in Orange, California. It’s a place where you can chill, learn about candles, and pour your own. It’s not just about making candles, but inspiring creativity, fostering friendships, and creating memorable moments.

Looking to the future, we're not stopping at candles. We’re on a mission to create a universe of fun, high-quality gifting items that bring joy, kickstart conversations, and make everyday life feel a little more special.
