Hi, I'm the creator/owner of EM Candles and Scents.
Hello! My name is Joey and I am EM Soy Candles and Scents Maker. Nice to see you all here and taking time to know me more. I am so passionate in my so called "hobby" that turned into a small business.
I hand-poured everything myself and each candle, sprays, diffusers are handled with love and care. From testings, making the formulations to making sure that all the contents of my products are non-toxic, eco-friendly but at the same time high quality. I also creatively designed all the packaging, labels... overall look and now redesigning my website :)
how I started
I think a lot can relate to this, EM Soy Candles and Scents is my Covid 19 Baby as well!
I have so much time in my hands that time, in short I was bored and wanted to do something productive.
I love candles and that was the start!
It's not that easy for me to find ones that are not too expensive and priority for me is non-toxic and possible all natural ingredients. So I started to search online, I watched Youtube and found inspiration to some amazing candle makers and thank God for Pinterest for some creativity ideas as well!
​
After finding Candle Kits and knowing the difference between essential oils and fragrance oils, I invited my girl friends to make candles with me. My boyfriend then now Fiance' likes how my candles didn't make him sneeze or dizzy and from that he encouraged me to sell it. I was hesitant at first but he suggested to sell to my friends first. Knowing my friends, they will be honest with me if they don't like it.
​
So, that was the start and 3 years after, EM is still here hand-pouring each every product produced with love and everyday I still learning something new.
