  • Soy wax - often eco-friendly, safe and proven.
  • Coconut and canola wax - pure, natural options, ideal for sensitive people.

Beeswax and vegetable candles are considered the most hypoallergenic, but each person may react differently to particular ingredients. It is best to choose unscented candles or those with natural essential oils. Remember that any substance can cause an allergic reaction.

How to choose soy candles for sensitive people?

  • Check the composition - it should be 100% natural, without paraffin and synthetic additives.
  • Choose unscented candles or those with natural essential oils.
