Coastal inspired candles & creations
Chasing Waves is a small business based in Queensland, Australia. Our love for the ocean, surfing, turquoise, coastal vibes, coffee, cocktails and candles have been combined to create our brand and each item in our collections. All of our coastal inspired products are individually handcrafted which include; hand-poured soy candles, wax melts & tealights, reed & car diffusers, mason jar decor, original prints, hand & body wash and bath fizz & soak. Allow our products to transform your space into a serene coastal haven, enabling you to chase the waves and indulge in moments of relaxation and tranquility.

Thank you for visiting our store! We hope you enjoy browsing our collections as much as we’ve enjoyed creating each item. Coastal vibes always🌴🤙🏼🌊☀️🐚🏄🏻♀️
Processing Time & Order Requests
For items listed available online, your order will be processed within one business day. For custom candle orders, please allow additional time for processing. Candles need to cure once poured (ideally 3-5 days) so please keep this in mind when placing an order. If an item you would like to purchase is listed as "out of stock", send us an email to request an order. We are more than happy to fulfil your request however we may need to order more supplies, thus increasing the processing time of your order. Regular processing updates will be sent to keep you informed of your order status.
About Our Products
We use high quality, premium ingredients and materials across our candle, wax melt, tealights, diffuser and hand/body wash collections to ensure a luxurious and safe experience you can feel confident about. We use Ecosoya CB-Advanced wax; a fully formulated, all-natural soy wax requiring no additives, providing a clean and non-toxic burn. All of our fragrance oils are manufactured in Australia by Luxaroma and are designed and tested specifically relevant to applications in candle-making, reed diffusers and soap/body products. All fragrances adhere to RIFM and IFRA standards for safety and purity and are NOT tested on animals. Our Hand Wash uses a liquid soap base made from ingredients derived from 80% coconut and our Body Wash uses a blend of Australian Goats Milk and Soy Protein. Each vessel, tin and glassware used for our candles are specifically designed for candle-making to ensure the risk of breakages is reduced. However, always adhere to the safety instructions located on the bottom of our candles/diffusers to mitigate any potential hazards. For all candle care and diffuser intructions/recommendations, please refer to the "Care" tab on each product page.
OUR COLLECTIONS
We pride ourselves on attention to detail and commitment to creating products that not only smell divine but also enhance your ambiance safely. Our candles are poured into stylish vessels, adding a touch of coastal chic to any room or space. Each candle is available in either Luxe or Basic ranges to compliment your own style and decor. Each candle scent featured in our Luxe Collection are used across our Basics, Wax Melts, Tealights, Reed Diffusers and Hand & Body Wash products and occasionally we will release some limited edition fragrance options. We also offer customizable options, allowing you to create personalised candles for special occasions, gifts or your own business brand. Or our ready-to-go Message Candle Travel Tins offer a variety of generic messages in different label styles. All of our coastal inspired Mason Jars are individually designed and handcrafted so each piece is unique. However, if you are seeking a particular style, feel free to contact us and we can attempt to bring your coastal vision to life!

Our Story
Hey I’m Prue, the face behind Chasing Waves🌴🌊🏄🏻♀️ Originally from the Gold Coast but currently living in Townsville with my partner, our son (AKA Little Apprentice, already featured in our Insta feed) and two fur-babies 🐾
I’m a lover of the ocean 🌊 surfing 🏄🏻♀️ turquoise 🎨 coastal vibes 🌴 coffee ☕️ cocktails🍸 and candles 🕯 So I decided why not combine them all??!! Coastal inspired candles and creations was born. What began as a maternity leave hobby has quickly evolved into a bit of an obsession 🤷🏻♀️ This new venture is different to my usual profession as a Social Worker but has allowed me to tap into my creative side!
Attempting to create and build a new small business whilst raising a very active toddler has been a process so far. Usually explains why I’m posting to Instagram after 10pm! But I’m excited to see where the ocean breeze takes us….
Thank you to everyone who has supported the Chasing Waves journey so far 🙌🏼 I hope you enjoy the collections as much as I’ve enjoyed creating each item 💙
