Soy Candles
Soy wax candles are candles made from soybean oil. They are known for being eco-friendly and sustainable, as soybeans are a renewable resource. They also have a longer burn time compared to traditional paraffin wax candles and emit less soot. Soy wax candles have a creamy, smooth texture and often have a mild, natural scent, making them popular for home fragrance.
Beeswax Candles
Beeswax candles are made from the wax produced by honeybees. They are natural and renewable, as bees produce wax to build their hives. Beeswax candles burn longer and cleaner than traditional candles, producing little to no soot. They also emit a natural honey-like scent, making them a popular choice for aromatherapy and home fragrance. Additionally, beeswax candles release negative ions when burned, which can improve air quality by neutralizing pollutants.
Gel Candles
Gel wax candles are made from a mixture of mineral oil and resin, which creates a translucent, jelly-like appearance. They are known for their unique, decorative look and can be made in a variety of shapes and colors. Gel wax candles burn slower and longer than traditional wax candles, and the oil and resin mixture helps to hold fragrance well, making them popular for home fragrance. However, because they are made from petroleum products, they are not as environmentally friendly as soy or beeswax candles.
