If you want to decorate your house with candles, then you need to choose between paraffin and wax ones.
Wax candles tend to be better - they have a pleasant smell, and they are easier to clean.
Let's find out more!
Clean and Non-Toxic Burning
Wax candles made from natural sources tend to burn cleaner and produce fewer toxins compared to paraffin candles.
Paraffin candles can release potentially harmful substances like benzene and toluene when burned.
Longer Burning Time
Wax decorative candles, especially those made from beeswax, generally have a longer burning time compared to paraffin candles.
Beeswax candles have a higher melting point, which means they burn at a slower rate, resulting in a longer-lasting candle.
Natural Scent and Aesthetics
Wax decorative candles often have a subtle and pleasant natural scent that enhances the ambiance of a space.
Beeswax candles, in particular, emit a subtle honey-like fragrance when burned.
Renewable and Sustainable
Natural waxes like beeswax and soy wax are derived from renewable resources.
Beeswax comes from beehives, which can be sustainably managed, while soy wax is derived from soybean oil, an abundant and renewable agricultural crop.
Easy Clean-up
Spills or drips from wax decorative candles are generally easier to clean up compared to paraffin candles.
Natural waxes tend to be less sticky and can be easily wiped or cleaned with warm water and mild soap.
