100% stearin candle
All candles that are to be placed in a candlestick or are pillar candles require a hard wax, and there are not many different waxes to choose from that meet these requirements. A clear indication of the candle's quality is the price you pay for your candle, as both the raw material and the production process differ between cheap and high-quality candles. Examples of the most common waxes used in the production of these candles are:
What does the 100% stearin label mean?
Wax recycled from slaughterhouse products, which in itself is 100% natural but naturally not an option for a vegan.
Wax made from palm wax, which is essentially a hard wax. When using this wax, it is important that the wax is RSPO-certified, which means it has not caused damage to nature.
Paraffin, which is produced from crude oil residues. There are different types of paraffin quality, and an indication of quality is the price of the candle.
There are also other exclusive waxes, such as wax made from olive oil, but this is a very expensive wax used in artisanal candle making and is not very common on the market.
