Candles have a way of transforming a room into a cozy retreat, but not all candles are made equally. If you're like many of us at Shores Company, you value products that are both high-quality and good for the environment. Coconut wax candles check all the boxes and then some. Let’s dive into why coconut wax candles are a superior choice for a healthier, more sustainable home.
1. A Cleaner Burn for a Healthier Home
Coconut wax candles are known for their clean-burning qualities, a fact we at Shores Company take pride in. Traditional paraffin candles can emit soot and potentially harmful chemicals as they burn, compromising indoor air quality. Coconut wax, on the other hand, burns cleaner, producing minimal soot.
Our Experience: At Shores Company, we hand-pour each candle with 100% coconut wax and vegetable wax right here in our Haleiwa studio. We've noticed firsthand that coconut wax creates a slow, steady burn without the black residue you often see with other types of candles. This cleaner burn not only protects your health but also extends the life of the candle.
2. Natural and Sustainable—Good for You and the Planet
Coconut wax is derived from coconut oil, making it a natural, plant-based resource. Compared to paraffin (a petroleum byproduct), coconut wax is renewable and biodegradable. Choosing coconut wax candles helps reduce your environmental footprint, an important consideration for those of us who care about the planet.
Our Commitment: At Shores Company, we prioritize sustainability. By using coconut wax, we ensure our candles align with eco-friendly practices. It’s part of our mission to craft products that benefit both our customers and the environment.
3. Enhanced Fragrance with Natural Oils
One of the standout features of coconut wax is its ability to hold and release fragrance consistently throughout the candle's life. This wax type has an exceptional scent throw, filling your space with a balanced aroma. Plus, it pairs perfectly with natural, plant-based fragrance oils.
The Shores Company Difference: We use only the highest quality natural fragrance oils in our candles. Inspired by tropical travel and island life, our scents are designed to evoke a sense of serenity. Unlike some synthetic fragrances, our candles—such as the Coffea Flores and Teahupo'o—offer a pure and lasting aroma without overpowering your senses.
4. Longer Burn Time Equals Greater Value
If you've ever bought a candle that seemed to burn away too quickly, you'll love the slow-burning nature of coconut wax. Because of its lower melting point, coconut wax burns cooler and lasts longer than other wax types.
Our Expertise: Through our candle-making process, we’ve perfected a method that allows our coconut wax candles to burn evenly, maximizing their lifespan. This means more hours of enjoying your favorite scents and a better value for your money.
5. Elegant Aesthetic to Enhance Your Space
In addition to its functional benefits, coconut wax has a beautiful, smooth texture that gives candles an elegant finish. With a clean, white appearance, it complements any home décor effortlessly.
Our Style: At Shores Company, we take great care in designing candles that not only smell incredible but also look stunning in your space. Whether you're going for a minimalist look or a cozy beach vibe, our coconut wax candles add that perfect touch of island-inspired charm.
