ABOUT ME ☕

Welcome to SOSA Candles 🤍

Hey love, I’m Sonal — the heart (and slightly scented hands) behind SOSA Candles.
But honestly? SOSA wasn’t built. It was born.
Born on a quiet night… after a very, very loud day.

A day that looked perfectly normal from the outside — Slack notifications, Zoom meetings, smiling through the screen.
But inside? I felt invisible. Overworked. Under-credited. Drowning in deadlines that didn’t mean anything to me.


That night, in a moment of quiet rebellion, I lit a candle.
And something shifted.
The room softened. My breath slowed.
And for the first time in months, I felt like I had returned to myself.

That moment turned into a ritual.
That ritual? Turned into healing.
And that healing? Poured itself — wick by wick — into what you now know as SOSA.

🌸 Why SOSA Exists

I started SOSA in Mumbai — a city that never sleeps, but somehow helped me pause.
The name carries more than syllables. It carries a philosophy:
✨ Self-care
✨ Originality
✨ Serenity
✨ Authenticity

Not just pretty words — but lived values. Ways of being. Things I wish I had more of during those chaotic office days, and what I now want every woman to feel through my candles.

🌍 A Global Heart, Poured in Small Batches

My roots are here in India, but my scents have journeyed far.
They’ve travelled through train stations in Italy, flower shops in Bangkok, coffee corners in New York — and always, always returned home with me.


Every fragrance blend I create carries a memory, a moment, a mood.
And every single SOSA candle? It’s hand-poured with the intention that you feel seen, soothed, and slowed down — even just for a moment.

💻 The Masterclass I Wish I Had

Running this handmade business taught me more than any job ever did. So now, I share it all — the good, the messy, and the candle-wax-covered truth.
If you’ve been thinking,
“Can I start my own candle brand?”
or
“Is this something I could actually turn into a business?”
Babe — I got you.


Inside my YouTube Membership, you’ll find a full Candle Business Masterclass — designed to help you start your own soulful, profitable candle brand from scratch.
No gatekeeping. Just everything I wish someone had told me.

🎓 Every Candle Lights a Future


And here’s something I’m deeply proud of — every candle you bring home from SOSA supports the education of underprivileged girls in India through Project Nanhi Kali.
So when you light your jar, you’re also lighting up someone’s future.
This isn’t just self-care — it’s shared care. ❤️

☕ And When I’m Not Pouring Candles...

You’ll probably find me…
* Humming on the piano,
* Photographing my coffee (don’t judge, I know 😂),
* Hiking up a trail somewhere cold,
* Watching Friends and Gilmore Girls like it’s still 2005.


SOSA is a small-batch, big-hearted brand — and if you’re here, I already know your soul gets it.
Thank you. For supporting handmade.
For supporting me.
And for letting my little jars become part of your softest, safest spaces.


With all my warmth,

Sonal 🤎
