Behind the Glow: How Sustainable Candles Are Made
Behind the Glow: How Sustainable Candles Are Made
Candles are more than just a source of light; they are an experience. From setting the mood to providing comfort, the flicker of a candle can transform any space into a haven of peace and serenity. But have you ever wondered what goes into making these little wonders, especially sustainable ones? At Senses Candles, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a commitment. Here’s an in-depth look at how sustainable candles are crafted and why they should be your go-to choice for every occasion.
The Essence of Sustainability
Sustainability begins with the raw materials. Unlike conventional candles, which are often made from paraffin wax (a petroleum by-product), sustainable candles utilise eco-friendly ingredients. At Senses Candles, we prioritise natural waxes such as soy, beeswax, and coconut. These materials are renewable, biodegradable, and burn cleaner, ensuring your home remains free from toxic fumes.
Our candles also come in eco-friendly packaging, reducing waste and promoting recycling. By choosing sustainable candles, you’re not only enhancing your environment but also contributing to a healthier planet.
The Wax Matters
The foundation of every candle lies in its wax. At Senses Candles, we use only the finest natural waxes:
Soy Wax:
Derived from soybean oil, soy wax is a renewable resource that burns longer and cleaner than paraffin. Its even burn ensures you get the most out of every candle.
Beeswax:
Known for its natural honey scent, beeswax is a sustainable option that purifies the air by releasing negative ions.
Coconut Wax:
A luxurious choice, coconut wax is both sustainable and highly efficient, offering a slow, even burn with an excellent scent throw.
These waxes not only ensure a superior candle experience but also align with our commitment to sustainability.
The Art of Fragrance
A candle is incomplete without its fragrance. At Senses Candles, we believe in using natural, non-toxic fragrance oils to create our signature scents. Each fragrance is carefully curated to evoke a specific mood or memory, ensuring there’s a candle for every occasion.
Our bestsellers include:
Oriental Spa:
A rich, calming aroma that elevates any space.
Curaçao:
A vibrant, tropical scent perfect for invigorating your senses.
Serenity:
A soothing fragrance that brings peace and relaxation to your home.

Eco-Friendly Wicks
The wick is the heart of a candle, and its sustainability is equally important. We use cotton and wood wicks that are free from lead and zinc, ensuring a clean, even burn. Wood wicks, in particular, create a gentle crackling sound reminiscent of a cosy fireplace, adding an extra layer of charm to your candle experience.
Hand-Poured Perfection
Every Senses Candle is hand-poured with care, ensuring consistent quality and attention to detail. This artisanal approach minimises waste and ensures each candle meets our high standards. Hand-pouring also allows for the creation of small batches, which reduces overproduction and supports sustainable practices.
Sustainable Packaging
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our packaging. We use recyclable glass jars and biodegradable materials to ensure our candles leave a minimal environmental footprint. Once your candle has burned down, the jar can be repurposed as a storage container, plant pot, or decorative piece. By choosing Senses Candles, you’re embracing a lifestyle that values both beauty and sustainability.
The Benefits of Sustainable Candles
Switching to sustainable candles offers numerous benefits:

Natural waxes and wicks produce fewer pollutants, ensuring a healthier indoor environment.

Sustainable candles are designed to burn slower, giving you more value for your money.

By choosing natural ingredients and recyclable packaging, you’re reducing your environmental impact.
