The Different Candle Elements: How To Choose A Candle

Fragrances

The lovely scents that 8oz soy candle provide in our homes are one of their most appealing features. However, not everyone likes particular perfumes or odors. Choosing a scented or scent-free candle should be your priority.

Wax Paraffin

Paraffin wax candles are by far the most common and are often mass-produced by big businesses. They are easy to produce, available in many shapes, sizes, and smells, and inexpensive. However, petroleum, which is derived from oil, is used to make paraffin wax. The process of removing the oil and turning it into paraffin requires a lot of energy. Oil and carbon are once again released into the sky when you burn the candle. Therefore, paraffin wax candles are incredibly dangerous for your health and the environment. Even with a properly trimmed wick, paraffin candles can cause soot damage and emit a cloud of cancer-causing substances into the air when they are burned.

Other vegetable waxes and soy wax

Our wax of choice is soy wax. Because they are a natural and sustainable resource, they are beneficial for the environment. Because it doesn't produce chemicals, it's better for your house and your family. Because soy emits 90% less soot into the air, you can reuse your container and maintain the safety of your home's walls and ceilings. 8oz soy candles burn more slowly, so the aroma is produced gradually as opposed to abruptly and briefly. Since soy wax is also biodegradable, it is much simpler to clean than paraffin if it spills on your tablecloth or clothing.

Wick

A wick's function is to carry wax to the flame, which serves as fuel. The wax is melted and drawn up by the wick into the flame to burn. Different quantities of wax may be pulled into the flame by using different wick diameters. A flame will flare and soot if there is too much wax present; if there is not enough wax, the flame will flicker out. It requires balance. Lead-core wicks were regularly seen in scented 8oz soy candles. Lead was added by the producers to make the wicks sturdy since fragrance oils weaken wax.
