A history of candle making in Bristol
Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm the founder of Wax and Scents UK and I'm passionate about scented candles. In this post, I want to share with you some fascinating facts about the history of scented candle making in Bristol, and why our company sells the best vegan soy wax scented candles in the market.
Did you know that scented candles have been around for thousands of years? The ancient Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Indians, and Tibetans all used different materials and methods to create candles with pleasant aromas. However, it was not until the 18th and 19th centuries that scented candles became more widely available and affordable, thanks to the invention of new waxes such as spermaceti, stearin, and paraffin.
Bristol's scanted candle history
Bristol has a long and rich tradition of candle making, dating back to the medieval times when it was a major trading port. Bristol was famous for its soap and tallow industries, which provided the raw materials for candle making. Bristol also had access to exotic spices, herbs, and flowers from around the world, which were used to add fragrance to the candles.
Today, Bristol is still home to many talented and innovative candle makers, who use natural and sustainable ingredients to create luxurious scented candles. Our company is one of them, and we are proud to offer you a range of vegan soy wax scented candles that are handmade in the Sputh West with love and care.
Why vegan soy wax?
Bristol is a city that prides itself on being green, creative and diverse. It's no wonder that many people here are looking for ways to make their homes more eco-friendly, cosy and inviting. One of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to do that is by using vegan soy wax scented candles.
Vegan soy wax scented candles are made from natural plant-based ingredients, unlike conventional candles that often contain beeswax, animal fat or paraffin wax. These ingredients are not only harmful to animals, but also to the environment and our health. Paraffin wax, for example, is a by-product of petroleum and releases toxic chemicals when burned.
Soy wax, on the other hand, is derived from soybeans and is biodegradable, renewable and clean-burning. It also lasts longer than paraffin wax and has a lower melting point, which means it releases more fragrance and creates a more even burn. Soy wax candles are also easier to clean up if spilled, as they can be washed away with soap and water.
