Behind the Scenes: Our Handmade Soy Candle Process
Ever wonder how our candles come to life? Here is a peek into our Mumbai studio where every single candle is hand-poured in small batches using 100% vegan soy wax. 🫶🏻
Here is the anatomy of my non-toxic candles. I use Indian-grown soy wax, 100% pure essential oils, and lead-free cotton wicks, all hand-poured in small batches into India-made glass vessels.
I often get asked why soy wax is better. It's 100% natural, burns cleaner and longer than paraffin wax, and holds a beautiful, long-lasting aroma.
All my products are hand-poured with love. This video shows the process of making and packaging my mini bubble candles for a large order.
Come behind the scenes with me. This video shows a typical day in the studio, from pouring candles to packing orders, with a little help from my furry supervisor.
A typical day in the studio involves creating beautiful products like these daisy candles and printing custom labels for them.
Confused about which fragrance to order? I offer fragrance testers so you can try before you buy. Just let me know which scents you'd like to sample with your next order.
Thank you, Vadodara. I was overwhelmed with the love you showed me at my first flea market. It was amazing to meet so many of you in person.
About Our Handmade Process
We don't use assembly lines or big machines because that's not how we roll. Because we hand-pour in small batches right here in our Mumbai studio, we can control every detail—from the exact fragrance strength to the crispness of your custom labels. It means you get a candle that is actually made for you, not one that has been sitting on a warehouse shelf for months.
Why Small Batch Matters
When you place an order, we aren't just pulling a box off a dusty shelf. We are physically melting the wax, blending the scents, and pouring it into the vessels. This slow, intentional process is how we ensure that signature Feme quality in every single piece.
The Non-Toxic Promise
We are super picky about what goes into our candles. We use 100% soy wax (no paraffin, ever) and lead-free cotton wicks. It burns cleaner, lasts longer, and does not give you that headache some store-bought candles do. It is a small change that makes a huge difference in your home environment.
Fragrance Testing
Unsure about a scent? We totally get it. That is why we offer fragrance testers. You can add them to your next order to find your perfect match before committing to a bulk batch of wedding or corporate favors. We want you to love the scent as much as the look.
Customization from Start to Finish
From the color of the wax to the font on your labels, we customize everything. Whether it is wedding favors for your Mumbai shaadi or corporate gifts for Diwali, we work with you to get the packaging, branding, and scent profile spot-on. If you have a specific vision, let us know and we will do our best to make it happen.
