Why are Vellabox candles different?

Many candles on the market are made with paraffin wax—a petroleum byproduct—and can contain toxic additives. At Vellabox, we curate candles you can feel good about lighting in your home. Every brand we feature meets the Vellabox Candle Criteria, so you get a clean, feel-good glow—no guesswork.

Our Candle Criteria:

• 100% natural waxes (most are 100% soy—no paraffin, no beeswax—to keep things vegan)
• Lead-free, 100% cotton wicks
• Phthalate-free fragrance oils
• No artificial dyes, parabens, or animal-derived ingredients

The result? A longer, cleaner burn and scents you’ll actually want to live with. Many of our makers use 100% soy wax, which also supports American soybean farmers. Breathe easy and enjoy the glow.
