Before you burn, here are some eco-friendly attributes to look for and some pointers to keep in mind when buying candles for any occasion.

Beeswax: Floating candles made with beeswax are naturally fragrant, nontoxic, soot-free and non-allergenic. They are renewable and require little to no additives. You find that 100% beeswax candles are relatively easy to come by and burn longer than regular paraffin candles.

Soy: Candles that are soybean-based are generally vegan, soot-free, and biodegradable, and similar to beeswax, they are renewable. They also burn up to 50 percent longer than paraffin candles and if spilled can be cleaned up with soap and water Mulberry Bayswater Bags. The only downsides are they don’t scent well as other varieties. The other thing is, they are not available for birthday cakes since it’s soy wax and it’s very soft can usually be found in a glass jar or tin only.

Palm Oil: Palm oil wax comes from coconuts, so no plants die during harvesting. Palm oil candles are clean burning and long lasting.

Choosing any of the candles above will get your burning more clean and smoothly which is harmless to our planet.
