ABOUT US


Saint O'Niell Alchemy is a boutique chandlery located in Mill Valley, CA creating artistic candles and transformative beauty oils for your hair and body.
Our luxury scented candle collection fills a void we believe exists in a market awash in a sea of mediocrity. Our uncommon, sophisticated scent profiles are rich and complex, evocative of nature in her dynamic forms. The scents conjure memories, moods and emotions associated with familiar places, intimate moments in time, persons we hold dear, wafts of gourmand delights.
Our Chief Chandler enjoys decades of professional experience in the design industry, specifically, fashion design (see WWD, "Suits: The Ones to Watch" | June 1993), interior design and corporate strategic design. Having poured candles as an avocation much of her life, it became her sole focus in 2020. Mixing and testing oils* in the studio led to the development of a proprietary wax blend. Consultations with scientists led to the crafting of the perfect hair styling oils. Saint O'Niell Alchemy found its beginning.
