Cotton candle wicks: Natural elegance
Cotton wicks are among the most commonly chosen options, especially among manufacturers who want to emphasize the natural and health dimension of their products. Here are some key features of cotton wicks:
Eco-friendly solution: Made from pure cotton thread without the addition of metal or toxins, cotton wicks are environmentally friendly. They completely decompose and do not leave harmful materials in the environment.
Stable flame: Cotton wicks burn with an even flame, providing consistent light and not creating black smoke or unpleasant odors.
Minimal amount of smoke: The formation of black smoke during burning, known as "soot", is significantly reduced with cotton wicks, which means less pollution and microparticles in the air, i.e., a cleaner environment.
Wooden wicks - Rustic charm
Wooden wicks represent the right choice for those who want to further enrich their experience with scented candles. They add not only a visual effect but also a sound element during burning. These are some of the key features of wooden wicks:
Aesthetic value: Wooden wicks bring a dose of rustic charm and visual appeal, providing a unique look to each scented candle.
Crackling sound: During burning, wooden wicks produce a gentle crackling sound, like a small fireplace, adding a special dimension to the overall experience.
Intense flame: The flame produced by wooden wicks is wider and larger compared to traditional wicks, thus providing stronger light and even aroma distribution.
Paper wicks - Practicality
Paper wicks offer a combination of practicality and economic efficiency. Here are some key features of paper wicks:
Practical use: Paper wicks often come in rolls that allow easy cutting and placement in different candle sizes.
Simple burning: Burning with a stable flame, paper wicks provide constant lighting without much smoke production.
Silk wicks: Elegance and luxury
Silk wicks are synonymous with luxury and sophistication. Here are some key features of silk wicks:
Aesthetics: Silk wicks bring a sense of elegance and high standard, making each candle exceptionally sophisticated.
Perfect flame: They burn slowly and evenly, creating a beautiful flame that further emphasizes the atmosphere.
Synthetic wicks - Avoid
Now, besides natural wicks, there is also the option of synthetic wicks, often made from metal materials or other artificial substances. Although they may seem attractive due to their aesthetics or low price, synthetic wicks carry some potentially serious disadvantages and problems:
Air pollution: Synthetic wicks often produce more smoke during burning, which can mean pollution of your space and the air you breathe. This phenomenon can cause unpleasant headaches and similar symptoms.
Toxic substances: Some synthetic wicks contain chemicals that can be harmful to health, creating unwanted odors and potentially affecting air quality.
Uneven burning: Synthetic wicks often burn unevenly, creating irregular flames and disrupting the even melting of the candle.
Why cotton and wooden candle wicks?
While there are both paper and silk wicks, as manufacturers of scented candles we have decided on cotton and wooden wicks for several key reasons. First, these wicks are characterized by natural origin and have no negative impact on the environment. Our commitment to preserving nature and providing quality products has led us to choose sustainable options that will not pollute the environment. Second, cotton and wooden wicks provide stable and clean burning, creating perfect light and aroma without unnecessary side effects such as smoke and toxic materials.
