Our Story

Welcome to the world of CAHAYA CANDLES

We are a mindful lifestyle brand based in Kuala Lumpur. 

Founded in 2016 in Melbourne, Australia, we create candles and intentional self-care products that inspire you to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with yourself. 

Our botanical wax candles and signature plant-based scents have been crafted with expert Australian perfumers to take you on a sensory voyage through scent and beyond.

We believe that self-care is a sacred ritual, not an afterthought. Every item we create is designed with purpose from ethically sourced materials to mindful packaging, ensuring that your wellness journey is both nurturing and sustainable.

Our vision is to empower you to live consciously, care deeply, and embrace every moment with intention.

Meet Founder & Creative Director: Sheena Teo

Hi. My name is Sheena and I am the founder and creative director of Cahaya Candles.

Combining my passion for wellness with my experience in artisanal candle making, I started Cahaya Candles in 2016 to create candles and well-being goods that encourage positive, self-care rituals.

I understand that self-care is deeply personal, which is why our products are crafted to support your unique rhythm. Whether you’re seeking moments of quiet reflection, or simply trying to bring balance into your daily routine, we are here to provide tools that encourage intentional living.

I hope our products journey with you in cultivating lasting wellness, where each small act of care contributes to a more grounded and fulfilled life. 

Thank you for letting us be part of your story.
