kasvivahakynttilöitä

Kasvivahakynttilöitä, known in English as plant wax candles, are a type of candle made from vegetable-based waxes. Unlike traditional paraffin wax candles, which are derived from petroleum, plant wax candles utilize renewable resources such as soy, coconut, palm, or rapeseed oil. The processing of these plant oils results in a solid wax that can be used for candle making.

The production of kasvivahakynttilöitä typically involves harvesting plant matter, extracting the oil, and then processing it into a stable wax. This process is generally considered more environmentally friendly than the extraction and refinement of petroleum. Plant waxes often burn at a lower temperature, which can lead to a longer burn time compared to paraffin candles of the same size. They are also known for producing less soot, contributing to better indoor air quality.

These candles are available in a wide variety of forms, including container candles, pillar candles, and tealights, and can be scented with essential oils or fragrance oils. The natural origin of the wax is a key selling point for many consumers seeking more sustainable and natural home products. Due to their plant-based composition, they are also often considered vegan-friendly.
