Sustainable Candle Making: Eco-Friendly Techniques and Materials for Conscious Crafters

Sustainable candle making focuses on creating candles that are environmentally friendly and non-toxic. It involves using natural, renewable, and biodegradable materials such as soy wax, beeswax, or coconut wax instead of paraffin, which is derived from petroleum. Wicks are typically made from cotton or wood, avoiding synthetic materials. Fragrances and dyes used are often natural or derived from essential oils and plant-based colorants. Sustainable packaging includes reusable, recyclable, or biodegradable containers. This approach minimizes environmental impact, reduces waste, and promotes a healthier living environment.
