Hi, I'm Ysavel, and My Madd Kreations is something I've been building with my hands and my heart for a long time.
It all started when I was 14 years old. I picked up crochet and just fell in love with making things. Over the years that passion grew and shifted, and eventually it found its way into candles. Today I run a small handmade candle business right here in Chula Vista, California, and every single piece that leaves my hands is made with the same care I had when I was just getting started.
I'm really particular about what goes into my candles. I use 100% soy wax, which is a natural, plant-based wax that burns cleaner and longer than paraffin. For fragrance, I work exclusively with ClearScents from CandleScience — they're 100% phthalate-free and made specifically for natural waxes. Every wick is lead-free cotton. I wouldn't use anything in my candles that I wouldn't want in my own home, and that's something I feel really strongly about.
Alongside my container candles, I also make figure candles, custom and personalized candles, and handmade gift items for events. Custom orders are always welcome — just reach out and we can talk through what you have in mind.
Something I want you to know: everything here is made by me, in my home, with my family. My granddaughter is often right beside me at local artisan markets, and that means the world to me. This isn't a big operation — it's a grandmother and her family doing what they love, and hoping it brings a little warmth into your space too.
Thank you so much for being here. I hope you find something you love.
