Smell good, do good.

In 2017, Liam created Kenshi as a social enterprise with a mission to make high quality candles that smell amazing while funding food for people in need. At 14 years of age he began from the family kitchen, each candle hand poured using 100% natural plant-based wax — 90% soy, 10% coconut and high quality fragrance oils. 

Today, Kenshi Candles are made by refugees from Chin State, Myanmar the same way Liam started - by hand, here in Melbourne.
