BBC Countryfile Magazine's Best Natural Candles of 2022

Make your setting of relaxation and wonderful scents more eco-friendly with natural plant candles.
When we browse candles in stores looking for a new favorite scent to fill our homes, we often forget to consider the environmental impact of burning certain waxes.Sadly, many non-natural candles are made with mineral oil — an odorless and colorless by-product of petroleum — so they’re not particularly eco-friendly or sustainable.
Fortunately, there are a lot of lovely options around.Made from botanical ingredients, natural candles burn more gently while still giving off the more subtle scents typically made from essential oils, offering added benefits for emotional, emotional and even physical health.In our list of the best natural candles, you’ll find a blend of beeswax, soy wax, and vegetable wax varieties, many designed by aromatherapists.
