Everything you need to know about 100% plant-based candle sand
What is candle sand?
Candle sand, as the name suggests, is a granular substance that resembles fine sand, but is made from vegetable wax, such as soy or rapeseed wax. The big difference with traditional candles is that you don’t have to melt and pour candle sand into a mold. Instead, you simply pour the sand into a container or dish and light the wick. Once lit, the candle sand behaves like a regular candle and burns down slowly, with a soothing glow
Benefits of 100% plant-based candle sand
- Environmentally friendly and sustainable
Plant-based candle sand is a lot more sustainable than paraffin candles, which come from petroleum. This makes it environmentally friendly.
- Free from harmful chemicals
Because the candle sand is 100% plant-based, it does not contain any harmful substances such as phthalates or parabens, which are often found in synthetic candles. This makes it a healthier option for indoor use, especially for those with respiratory issues or sensitivities.
- No waste
One of the biggest advantages of candle sand is that there is no waste. You can use exactly the amount of sand you need and save any leftovers for next time. When your candle is finished, simply add some more sand and a new wick.
- Creative freedom
With candle sand, you have endless possibilities to experiment. Because you can pour the sand into all sorts of different shapes and sizes, you’re not limited to the shape of a traditional candle. You can layer sand in different colors for a unique effect, or combine it with a scented oil to create your own personalized scent experience. Also fun; the candle sand floats on water!
- Safe and easy to use
Candle sand is much easier and safer to use than traditional candles. If the candle falls over, the candle sand will immediately extinguish the fire. This makes it especially useful for families with children or pets.
