This report and market trends show that natural candles are the go-to choice for 2025!

What is a Natural Candle?

Natural candles are made from organic or sustainable materials, vastly different from traditional ones made from paraffin wax (a petroleum byproduct). These candles use plant-based waxes like soy and beeswax. They also use natural fragrances made from essential oils.

These candles provide a cleaner burn and emit fewer toxins and allergens. They tend to be a healthier choice for your home and the environment.

What is the Difference Between a Natural Candle and a Paraffin Candle?

The ingredients are the main difference between natural and paraffin candles. Paraffin candles are made from petroleum by products. Petroleum is a non-renewable resource, and when burned, candles made from paraffin release toxic substances like benzene and toluene. These substances harm indoor air quality.

On the other hand, natural candles are made from renewable resources like beeswax or soy. They release minimal soot, making them a safer choice for you and your home. You won't have to worry about black soot marking your home's walls or furniture.

Making a Natural Candle is different?

Natural candles are usually made with plant-based ingredients. Beeswax is a popular ingredient in these candles. The wax has a lovely scent and is known for cleaning the air. Soy wax provides a clean burn and holds fragrances well.

Essential oils are the source of scent in a natural candle. Essential oils are made from plants and flowers, giving each candle a unique scent.

Cost/Affordability

The price of natural candles can be a concern for customers. Natural waxes can be more expensive than paraffin, making these candles more expensive. However, the benefits outweigh the cost.

Moreover, natural candles burn longer and release fewer toxins, while paraffin candles are known to cause poor indoor air quality. Plus, the cost of these candles will decrease as demand for eco-friendly products grows.

An example is Owen Drew England Mademoiselle Luxury Candle, that has a burn time of 40-45 hours.

Environmental Impact Factors

The environmental impact of a natural candle goes far beyond the materials used to make it. Smaller companies often make these candles that emphasise sustainability and ethical sourcing. The candles also are usually packed in eco-friendly packaging made from recyclable or biodegradable materials.

An example is Owen Drew, whose commitment to protecting our planet is shown in their carbon-neutral candle boxes, certified by The Woodland Trust.

By contrast, paraffin candles usually come in plastic packaging and contribute to landfill waste when discarded.

Understanding the Fragrance Chart

A fragrance chart (also called a fragrance wheel or aroma wheel) is a visual tool that categorises different scents. The chart organises fragrances into families and subfamilies based on their similarities and differences.

The chart then uses these families and subfamilies to visually represent fragrances. A fragrance chart may be presented in a circular diagram, with related scents placed together and contrasting scents farther apart.

Common fragrance families include:

Floral: scents include rose, jasmine, lily of the valley
Woody: cedarwood, sandalwood, pine
Fruity: fragrances use citrus, apple, berry
Oriental: is spicy, warm with vanilla or amber

How to Correctly Light a Natural Crackle Candle Safely

Natural crackle candles are becoming more popular due to their wood wicks. The wick creates a soothing crackling sound similar to a fireplace. To light a natural crackle candle, trim the wick to about 6 mm (¼ inch) to ensure a clean burn and prevent excessive soot.

Next, allow the candle to burn for at least two hours to create an even melt pool. This helps avoid tunnelling. Ensure the candle is placed on a heat-resistant surface to prevent any accidents.

Conclusion: Should You Buy a Natural Candle in 2025?

2025 is the right time to choose eco-conscious candles for your home. You'll enjoy a beautiful candle and its fragrance while being kind to your health and the planet. Natural candles are cleaner, safer, and more sustainable than paraffin candles.
