Candles make your house feel warm and inviting. You can choose a sweet, pumpkin-scented scent for fall or a bright, fruity, summery smell for summer. Most people agree that candles create a warm and cozy atmosphere in your home.

Standard candles are a good way to keep your house smelling great.

Artificial scents may not be the best choice for everyone.

What’s the difference between natural candles and standard candles, you ask?

Let’s take a look at the top reasons to reconsider before you buy a regular candle to infuse your home with that warm feeling.

Natural Ingredients

Natural candles are often made from soy. This means it is typically made of soybeans. However, this does not mean that it is always soy. Some candles are made from coconut oil, beeswax, or even beeswax.

A soy candle is not necessarily all-natural because it contains a natural ingredient. Some candles may contain chemical fragrances.

Standard candles are usually made of paraffin wax. This is a petroleum oil-based product. Standard candles burn petroleum oil so they can raise CO2 levels.

Although the change may not be immediately noticeable, it should still be considered.

The main difference between natural and standard candles is their use of fragrances.

So, what exactly is fragrance?

But no one knows. Companies don’t have to list all the ingredients in their fragrances, but they do need to include “fragrance” on their labels.

There are so many different fragrances and scents in candles that it can be hard to determine which ingredients go into creating pleasant aromas.

The frightening part is that many of these chemicals could prove to be dangerous for humans.

Fragrances can also cause headaches and breathing problems.

What are your options?

A natural candle with essential oils can be scented. Essential oils can be used to scent candles without synthetic fragrances or carcinogens. It seems like a good choice!

Natural Candles Burn Better

Natural candle making are generally more expensive than standard candles. It doesn’t mean it’s not worth the money.

Because of the higher price, natural candles are often more popular with people who are hesitant to purchase them. You don’t have to spend a lot more money if natural candles burn for longer than standard candles.

It’s as simple as that:

At the same time, as it takes you to burn one natural candle, you could go through two standard candles.

We have more information below to help you convince yourself that natural candles are the right choice.

Natural candles burn much more evenly than traditional candles made from paraffin candles. This means that there will be no waxy residue on the sides of your candle.

It is also true that natural candles, such as soy and beeswax candles, burn cleaner. This means it emits less smoke than regular candles.

Here are the best benefits of this:

Natural candles will not stain walls black. Natural candles will not stain walls black like smoke can.

Soy candles don’t usually leave black rings around the glass like paraffin wax candles. If you have ever seen a soy candle leave a black ring, it probably wasn’t 100% soybean.

Another explanation could be that the wick may have been made from zinc, which burns black. A hemp wick or cotton wick will burn more evenly.

 

Longer Lasting Scents

Natural candles can last longer than standard candles and have a stronger scent.

Why?

Candles made from soy have lower melting points, which mean they evaporate slower than paraffin candles.

Natural candles will have more wax than other types of candles. This is due to the longer time it takes for the candle’s heat to melt and warm up.

The result is a pleasant and lasting scent.

Even after you blow out your candle, imagine pleasant aromas for a whole day.

A natural candle is a good option if you want to refresh your home without getting a headache from fumes.
