Are you looking to elevate your living space with cruelty-free and eco-friendly vegan candles? We can help! Sometimes, it feels impossible to find good vegan household products, so we’ve created a quick guide for finding good vegan candles for your home.
Understand the Components of a Vegan Candle
Manufacturers create vegan candles using plant-based materials like soy or coconut wax, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional beeswax or paraffin candles. They also scent the candles using cruelty-free and synthetic fragrance oils. This means you can enjoy a variety of enchanting scents without compromising your values. Natural scents like lavender, cinnamon, and vanilla are particularly popular.
Research Brands That Specialize in Vegan Candles
When searching for the perfect vegan candles, you must find brands that specialize in producing these products and are transparent in their manufacturing process and ingredients. Seek out companies like this to ensure you’re supporting businesses that truly care about the environment and animal welfare.
Check for Certifications
Many manufacturers’ websites will tell you whether a candle is vegan or not. To guarantee that the candles you choose are truly vegan, you can look for certifications such as “Vegan Action” or “Vegan Society.” These labels ensure that the product is free from animal ingredients and hasn’t gone through animal testing. By purchasing certified vegan candles, you’re making a conscious choice to support cruelty-free and environmentally friendly practices. If you fall in love with a candle that doesn’t have this certification, you can check the ingredients list before purchase or contact the manufacturer to ensure it meets your ethical standards.
Consider Candle Safety
Whether it’s your first time using vegan candles or you’re a seasoned pro, keeping safety guidelines in mind is crucial. You should know soy candle sizes and burn times and how often you need to trim the wick. (Hint: you should trim after every burn or before the next burn so that it doesn’t develop a mushroom top). Never leave burning candles unattended, and stop burning when only 1/2 inch of wax remains in the container. You can enjoy your vegan candles safely and responsibly when you follow these tips.
Finding good vegan candles for your home is all about understanding their components and performing research on vegan brands and certifications. Remember to always follow basic fire safety principles so that you can enjoy your candles for hours to come.
