Natural paraffin-free scented candles: a conscious choice

Scented candles have been a favorite for years to bring a warm atmosphere and a wonderful scent into the home. However, there is a lesser-known downside to traditional scented candles: many are made from paraffin wax, a product of the petrochemical industry. Fortunately, there are now beautiful, eco-friendly alternatives available, such as rapeseed wax candles. This natural option not only has benefits for the environment, but also for your health. Let’s take a look at why rapeseed wax is the choice for conscious candle lovers.

Eco-Friendly: Paraffin wax is made from petroleum, a non-renewable resource that leaves a large carbon footprint. Its production produces greenhouse gases and contributes to environmental pollution. Rapeseed wax, on the other hand, is made from rapeseed oil, which comes from a sustainable, plant-based source. Rapeseed wax is also biodegradable, meaning it doesn’t harm nature. By choosing rapeseed wax candles, you’re helping to reduce your impact on the environment.

Healthier indoor air: Burning paraffin candles releases harmful chemicals such as benzene and toluene. These chemicals can affect indoor air quality and are potentially harmful to your health. Rapeseed wax, on the other hand, burns cleaner and without toxic fumes. It produces less soot, which is not only better for your lungs, but also for the surfaces in your home. Even pets benefit from this healthier choice.

Enjoy your candles longer: One of the advantages of rapeseed wax is its longer burning time. Thanks to the low melting temperature, rapeseed wax candles burn slower and therefore last much longer than paraffin candles. This not only means more candlelight moments, but also less waste and a more sustainable choice for your wallet.

Intense fragrance experience: Do you want to enjoy the scent of your candle to the fullest? Rapeseed wax has a unique property: it spreads scents better and more evenly. Due to the low melting temperature, fragrances are released gradually, which ensures a constant, subtle scent in the home. In addition, scents in rapeseed wax often remain more authentic and pure, so that you really experience the scent as it was intended.

Animal Friendly: Rapeseed wax is completely plant-based, vegan and not tested on animals. Unlike beeswax, for example, no animal raw materials are needed in the production. For people who pursue an animal-friendly and conscious lifestyle, this is a perfect choice.

Supporting local production: Did you know that rapeseed is grown in many parts of Europe? By choosing candles made from rapeseed wax, you often support local farmers and producers. This shortens transport distances, reduces CO₂ emissions and contributes to the local economy. A candle that does good burns just that little bit better.

TIP : When burning (scented) candles, don't forget to ventilate. Don't burn too often and not too many candles. Open the ventilation grilles or leave a window ajar.
