Handmade in the Hunter!
Tucked away on a cattle farm in the Hunter Valley, Wax & Lye is a proudly Australian small business creating handmade home and body products with heart.
Since 2017, Wax & Lye has been known for its artisan candles, soaps, bath treats, and beautifully curated gift packs — all made in small batches from a farm-based workshop, surrounded by sunflowers, scent, and a whole lot of creativity!
Meet the Maker
I’m Kate — maker, mum, and founder of Wax & Lye. What started as a creative escape in 2017 has grown into a small-batch brand making artisan candles, soaps, and home fragrances by hand in my farm workshop in regional NSW.
AICIS REGISTRATION NUMBER: NIC1005570.
Kathryn Fitzpatrick of Wax & Lye is registered under section 80B of the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Act 1989 on the Register of Industrial Chemical Introducers for the registration year, 1 September 2025 to 31 August, 2026.
Let customers speak for us
from 29 reviewsSoap saver bags are an excellent buy. Very good quality, last for ages, and keep the shower free from soap mess.
A deliciously christmas scent I will be buying again.
Beautiful. I split thrbox and gave as individual gifts. Very popular and smelled divine.
The Mystery Box is amazing. A huge variety, excellent quality and a lovely surprise. I would highly recommend.
It was wonderful to receive such a varied collection of W&L soaps, many I hadn't tried before. I'm looking forward to working my way through them. The price is a great bargain, too.
I’ve bought this over several Christmas’s now when I can get it, my child loves it and it’s actually one of the nicest soaps I’ve used. No reaction with our chronic eczema either! I actually wait for it to drop! He loves some cheeky coal in his stocking!
If coffee makes your mornings better, wait till you try it on your skin! This coffee soap is my new obsession — it scrubs, it smooths, and it smells so good I almost forget it’s not drinkable. My skin’s never felt softer, and my shower smells like a café. Love.
When I saw the large tea lights mystery box option, I was excited. I do love a mystery box and this one had a heap of fragrances. I have used a few of them now and I have had one or two old favourites (Victorian Rose) plus a couple of surprises that I really enjoyed but would not have thought to order (Anjou Pear, Jasmine and Magnolia). I still have a lot to try and looking forward to the next round of surprises.
The advent calendar is fantastic. It is such a treat bounding out of bed each morning to open each day's gift. Huge variety, all individually wrapped, and very creative ideas. Highly recommended.
This is my 3rd year getting myself this Advent calendar, and each year I am amazed by the creativity and the variety of items included.
Got this mystery box of mixed items for a birthday gift, and she loved it. She particularly said that she loved that the scents were not too strong, whilst smelling lovely
I left my shopping too late for my sister's birthday. But never fear, I know she loves Wax and Lye's products, so a W&L gift card it is! And she loved it, and is going to treat herself to some "smelly stuff"
I have been purchasing Kate's candles & soaps for a number of years. She is my go-to girl when I need that special present for someone, or just indulging myself. The aroma she creates with these products is like nothing you will find within a shop, I promise you, like me, you will be a returning customer again and again, and she is super fast getting the items to you and always beautifully presented.
