How a Full-Time Veterinarian Turned Her Candle Hobby into a Business Featured by AEON

Which type of scented candle do you prefer to keep your room smelling amazing for hours? Most people might say candle jars. But have you heard of Candle Meltz?

Meet Dr. Nadia—a full-time veterinarian, animal lover, and busy mom—who unexpectedly found herself becoming the first Malaysian candle maker to have her handmade Candle Meltz featured at AEON department stores.

“No One Was Doing This—So I Did It First”

Back in 2016, Dr. Nadia was just another candle hobbyist crafting wax melts during her only day off each week from working full-time at her veterinary clinic.

Her husband encouraged her to try selling her creations online. At that time, scented candles weren’t in high demand, and Candle Meltz were virtually unknown in Malaysia. But she saw a gap in the market—and she filled it. Just four years later, her product was proudly sitting on the shelves at AEON.

Educating the Market from Scratch

One of the biggest challenges? Most Malaysians had never heard of Candle Meltz—they were more familiar with traditional candle jars.

Determined to educate her audience, Dr. Nadia turned to YouTube and Instagram. She created and shared tutorial videos explaining the materials used, how to use Meltz, and the benefits of her products. 

Her time off was spent crafting, editing, and promoting—anything to bridge the knowledge gap and build awareness around her brand.

From WhatsApp Orders to a Full Online Store

When asked about her biggest sacrifice, Dr. Nadia laughed: “Did I mention I’m a mother too?”

Balancing her roles as a veterinarian, entrepreneur, and mom often meant sacrificing sleep. Early on, she managed orders through WhatsApp—but this led to confusion, miscommunication, and even incorrect deliveries.

Her turning point came with launching her own website. The new platform helped her automate processes, reduce human error, and improve customer experience. Shoppers can now easily browse products, place orders, and receive deliveries seamlessly.

Despite not being tech-savvy, Dr. Nadia appreciates the built-in support available in her admin panel, allowing her to reach out for help whenever needed—making it easy to manage her store without stress.

From Two Products to a Trusted Brand

Dr. Nadia started small, offering only two products: Candle Meltz and candle jars. She’s always believed that quality matters more than quantity.

While Candle Meltz became the clear favorite, their success was undeniable.

The product received rave reviews and loyal customers—most of whom keep coming back for more.

“People may not have known about my product at first, but once they try it, they never stop at just one.”
