Coconut wax candles have gained popularity for their clean burn, creamy texture, and eco-friendly appeal. However, they come with their own set of challenges. At Shores Company, we’ve carefully weighed these drawbacks—and despite them, we remain committed to using coconut wax because we believe it creates a superior product that aligns with our values of quality, sustainability, and luxury.

1. Higher Cost

It’s no secret that coconut wax is more expensive than other options like soy or paraffin.

• Why It’s Pricier: The process of extracting and refining coconut wax requires more resources, and the premium pricing reflects its eco-conscious, sustainable production.
• At Shores Company: We view this cost not as a drawback, but as an investment in providing our customers with a cleaner, healthier candle experience. Coconut wax ensures a luxurious burn and exceptional quality that’s worth every penny.

2. Limited Availability

Coconut wax is not as widely available as other candle-making materials, which can present challenges.

• Sourcing Issues: Because it’s produced on a smaller scale, coconut wax can be harder to obtain consistently, especially for smaller businesses.
• At Shores Company: We’ve built relationships with trusted suppliers to ensure we always have access to the finest coconut wax. Its exclusivity reflects the elevated experience we want to offer with each candle.

3. Potential Challenges in Scent Blending

Coconut wax’s creamy, clean base can occasionally interfere with fragrance throw, requiring extra care in formulation.

• Fragrance Challenges: While coconut wax offers a cleaner burn, its unique properties can sometimes mute lighter scents, requiring additional testing to get the right balance.
• At Shores Company: We embrace this challenge as an opportunity to perfect our craft. Every Shores candle is formulated to highlight its carefully curated fragrance notes, ensuring a rich, full-bodied aroma that complements the natural beauty of coconut wax.
