The differences between handmade candles and mass-produced candles
MASS-PRODUCED CANDLES
These candles are typically manufactured using automated machinery and are often made with synthetic fragrances, wax blends, and dyes. They are designed to be produced in large quantities quickly. Mass-produced candles are widely available in supermarkets, department stores, and online marketplaces.
HANDMADE CANDLES
Crafted in smaller batches using natural ingredients such as soy wax and coconut wax, phthalate-free fragrances, and essential oils. They are often cruelty-free and eco-friendly. These candles are poured by hand and provide a great level of craftsmanship. This means that handmade candles may have unique features that mass-produced candles simply cannot replicate and can often be bought in boutique stores, artisan markets, and online stores that specialize in handmade products.
THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE
Mass-produced candles are often made with quick-burning wax such as paraffin, and fragrances that may contain phthalates (a chemical used to make plastic), which can be overpowering and even harmful. On the other hand, handmade candles are typically made with cleaner and slow-burning wax, are scented without phthalates, and can contain natural essential oils, less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions.
