Olive & Bean

Inspired by Country, Indigenous descendants of the Bardi people from the north of Broome, Sabrina and her daughter Lily are the founders of Olive & Bean, a business dedicated to creating beautiful Aboriginal candles.

What began as a creative healing outlet has since blossomed into a small family-run business producing biodegradable, natural coconut and soy wax candles.

The family behind Olive & Bean is deeply conscious of the impact humans have on Country and has built the brand around a core value of caring for Country. Their philosophy is simple: as long as people care for Country, Country will care for them in return.

Olive & Bean places strong emphasis on sustainability and up-cycling. The candles are made using natural, renewable, plant-based coconut and soy wax, with absolutely no palm oil, paraffin wax, or petroleum additives—ensuring a safer environment inside the home, free from harmful chemicals.

The business uses premium fragrance oils infused with essential oils, eco-friendly crackling wood wicks, recycled wine bottles, and elegant amber reusable glassware. Every Olive & Bean candle is hand-poured in small batches in their home studio on Whadjuk Noongar Country in Fremantle, Western Australia.

Through their passion for candle-making, Sabrina and Lily hope to inspire others to be more conscious of the products they bring into their homes. Olive & Bean appreciates and values the support of small, local, and handmade Aboriginal businesses.
