Welcome to Scents & Suds Sanctuary, where the essence of California’s diverse beauty is captured in our artisanal candles and soaps. I'm Zell, a Bay Area native with a passion for creativity and eco-conscious living. Alongside my husband Mushi, a long-time Californian and technology enthusiast, we've embarked on this journey to bring a piece of California's charm into your home.
Our Founder's Story
Growing up in the picturesque Bay Area, I've always been surrounded by a unique blend of natural splendor and urban vibrancy. My career in education, spanning roles from teacher to director of special education, has deepened my appreciation for diverse communities and has honed my skills in communication and understanding. These experiences have been the bedrock of my creative journey with Scents & Suds Sanctuary.
My partner in this venture, Mushi, brings over three decades of life in California and a wealth of experience from his time in the Navy and the tech industry. His technical acumen and passion for innovation are the driving forces behind our brand's commitment to quality and sustainability.
The Birth of Scents & Suds Sanctuary
The idea for Scents & Suds Sanctuary blossomed when I set out to decorate our new home. I was searching for candles that were not just fragrant but also visually stunning - a fusion of aroma and art. This quest ignited my passion for candle-making, where I could blend eco-conscious practices with artistic design to create something truly special.
Similarly, my journey into soap-making was born from a personal need. Struggling with sensitive skin, I understood the importance of gentle, natural skincare products. This inspired me to craft soaps that are not just kind to the skin but also a delight to the senses.

Our goal is to transform your living space into a sanctuary that resonates with the spirit of California. Whether it's through the soothing scent of our candles or the nourishing touch of our soaps, we want to bring a piece of our world into yours.
Our Philosophy
At Scents & Suds Sanctuary, we believe in the harmony of beauty and sustainability. Our products are a testament to our love for the environment and our dedication to artistry. Each candle and soap is a unique creation, reflecting the diverse landscapes and cultures of California.
