When it comes to creating a cozy and healthy home environment, the candles you choose matter more than you think. At The Amazing Candle Company, we use coconut wax for all our signature candles — and for good reason. Here’s why coconut wax is becoming the go-to choice for conscious candle lovers who care about air quality, sustainability, and long-lasting fragrance.
1. What Is Coconut Wax?
Coconut wax is a natural, plant-based wax made from the cold-pressed meat of coconuts. It’s one of the most sustainable wax options available, and it burns cleaner and slower than many other popular waxes like paraffin or soy.
2. A Clean, Non-Toxic Burn
Paraffin wax (commonly found in cheaper candles) is a byproduct of petroleum, and when burned, it can release toxins like benzene and toluene. Coconut wax, on the other hand, burns cleanly — no soot, no toxins, no headaches. That means cleaner air in your home and a safer environment for kids, pets, and sensitive noses.
3. Longer Burn Time = More Value
One of coconut wax’s superpowers is its slow, even burn. That means you get more hours of enjoyment from each candle. Our 8 oz candles deliver extended burn time while maintaining a steady scent throw from the first light to the final flicker.
4. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Coconut harvesting is environmentally friendly — coconuts are a rapidly renewable crop that requires no pesticides or herbicides. Plus, our production methods ensure minimal waste. By choosing coconut wax, you’re making a planet-conscious choice that feels just as good as it smells.
5. Superior Scent Throw
Thanks to its creamy texture and low melting point, coconut wax holds and disperses fragrance better than most waxes. Whether you’re lighting our Energy candle to kickstart your day or our Sleep candle to wind down, you’ll enjoy a rich, consistent aroma from start to finish.
