About Happy Wax

Hi, we're Happy Wax.

Fragrance plays an important role in our lives. One sniff can bring back a memory you'd almost forgotten, or turn a stressful day around. We've felt it too, and that's why we created Happy Wax: to help you get happy through the power of fragrance.

Our story

We're beary pleased to meet you.

Our story begins in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, with a police officer named Ryan. Standing at 6'5", he isn't who you'd picture pouring bear-shaped wax melts. But Ryan grew up helping his grandmother in her candle shop, and that's where a love for fragrance turned into a lifelong hobby.

He chose the bear shape for one simple reason: to bring a smile to people's faces. And that's how Happy Wax was born.

Today, a team of 20 crafts every melt right here in North Carolina.

Our 100% Happiness Guarantee

If a scent isn't quite right for you, we'll replace it. Because when you're happy, we're happy.
