About Winking Catfish

 

Our Philosophy

 As a batik artist, I've always worked with molten waxes and dyes, but after years of creative career, my body had a different idea. I developed a sensitivity to candles, waxes, and fragrances. This was a professional and personal setback, but it also became a new beginning. 

I started exploring non-toxic, eco-friendly alternatives and now all my batiks are made with a combination of soy and beeswax. 

Unable to tolerate commercial candles, I began to create my own using  the same trusted soy waxes and fragrances I knew to be safe. This research inspired me to develop the Winking Catfish product line—scents, candles, and diffusers that don't compromise on quality or my health. 

What started as a personal project is now a family partnership with my son. All our products are handcrafted in small batches in my studio with the highest quality, eco- and pet-friendly ingredients.
