About the Founder: Cheryl’s Journey of Faith and Inspiration
Hi, I’m Cheryl — founder of Waterfall Scents, homemaker, believer, and candle creator on a mission to fill your home with God’s peace and presence.
What began as a personal way to create calm for my own family has grown into a purpose-driven business. Today, Waterfall Scents offers faith-inspired, non-toxic candles hand-poured in Anderson, SC — made to serve busy households just like yours. Each scent is prayerfully crafted to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with God, yourself, and what matters most.
When I’m not making candles, you’ll find me running our home, taking long walks with my kids, or soaking in quiet moments with the Lord. These everyday moments inspire my creations — so you, too, can experience rest and renewal in the middle of life’s noise.
Welcome to Waterfall Scents — where faith meets fragrance and peace lives on purpose.
Behind the Meaning of Waterfall Scents
The story behind Waterfall Scents is just as personal and down-to-earth as I am. When I was 18, I had to head to work but didn’t want to miss a family hiking trip. So after swimming in a waterhole beneath a waterfall, I did something only someone determined would do — I washed my hair right under that rushing water, then dried and straightened it in the back of my parents' van on the way to my shift. It’s one of those moments I still laugh about, because it captures exactly who I am: family first, flexible, and committed to making things work no matter what.
Since I was young, I’ve always been drawn to nature — especially waterfalls. Those peaceful moments outdoors, surrounded by God’s creation, left a deep imprint on my soul. To me, waterfalls reflect His beauty, His strength, and His calming presence.
That’s the heart behind every candle I pour — to bring a piece of that peace into your home. Whether it’s a scent that stirs a sweet memory or simply offers a quiet moment to breathe and be still, Waterfall Scents is here to help you create space for what truly matters: God’s presence, rest, and renewal.
The Benefits of Soy Wax
When I started Waterfall Scents, I didn’t just want to make beautiful candles — I wanted to make something safe, clean, and meaningful. I spent hours researching not because I had all the answers, but because I cared about doing it right — for my family and for yours.
That’s why I chose 100% vegan soy wax for every candle I pour. Soy wax is non-toxic, clean-burning, and free from the harmful chemicals no one wants in their home. I pair it with natural wood wicks for that comforting crackle and use carefully chosen fragrance and essential oils that are eco-friendly and safe for your space.
Every candle is hand-poured with care — never rushed. I pray over each one, thinking about the families who will light it, the homes it will fill, and the peace it might bring at the end of a long day.
This isn’t just a business — it’s a calling. And every time someone chooses one of my candles, it reminds me that I’m exactly where God wants me to be: helping others create a home that feels warm, calm, and covered in His peace.
