Today, many beauty companies are switching to organic ingredients and eco-packaging. This also applies to aroma candles. But the main thing is that when buying natural candles, we not only protect nature, but also care about our health. Firstly, natural wax (usually soy, and sometimes coconut and even honey), unlike paraffin, is completely safe to inhale. Paraffin, no matter how well it is cleaned, is still a product of petroleum refining. Agree, not the most useful component not only for the environment, but also for people. In addition, a soy candle burns 50% longer than a paraffin one, and also without soot. A separate advantage of an eco-candle is an organic filter made of cotton or wood, which will also not emit harmful elements when lit.
The second reason in favor of eco-friendly scented candles is their aromas: natural essential oils really work - some help to invigorate, others - to calm down and relax.
As for packaging, brands usually choose glass, which they recommend to recycle or reuse: for example, as a box or jar for growing plants. Some also place candles in a cardboard box, but on the condition that it is made from recycled materials and can then also be recycled. for recycling. Overall, nothing but pluses!
The last question: where to buy 100% natural aroma candles. We recommend choosing only proven companies with the right philosophy and certificates. The best ones are in our selection.
Soul Hygge
All Soul Hygge candles are handmade from eco-friendly plant waxes and natural essential oils. The wicks are also eco-friendly: instead of heavy metals and lead, they are made from unbleached cotton or wood (by the way, wicks with wood crackle when lit and create a campfire effect, setting you up for relaxation). When creating the packaging, the company's representatives support the idea of zero waste, offering customers to send them a glass of the candle (even any other brand) when it burns out, so that they can use it again.
For this, you will be given a discount on any subsequent purchase. And you will definitely want to buy something else from Soul Hygge: the names of the candles are already captivating. For example, Honeymoon with notes of neroli, thyme, acacia and honey; Bali Dreams with accords of strawberry, mango, peach and vanilla; Forest with the scent of pine, cypress, cedar and incense.
Quartz Store
In addition to crystals, the online store Quarz Store also offers candles made from natural soy wax. Moreover, small crystals of amethyst, rose quartz and rock crystal are added to the candles, which is very unusual. The aroma is quite neutral, suitable for everyone: the top notes consist of burnt wood and musk, the heart notes are thyme and incense, the bottom notes are leather. An additional bonus when buying a candle is matches in the brand's branded box.

Gretchen Hollingsworth, the creator of the PaddyWax brand, is an example of how to turn a hobby into a large and successful campaign. At first, the American made candles from natural wax for herself and her loved ones, and then opened a store and achieved popularity.

Pay attention to the Library line, dedicated to writers: the Edgar Allan Poe candle, for example, smells of absinthe, cardamom and sandalwood; and the Leo Tolstoy candle has notes of oak moss, persimmon and prunes.

The trick of candles from the Californian brand Voluspa with a 20-year history is coconut wax (most brands, as we noted, use soy wax)! The official website has a huge number of candles that can be selected by search, focusing on material, size, color and burning time.
