The ber months are here and you’re loving all the fall content on your socials. You’ve been feeling inspired to step up your scent game and are looking for the best candles to burn all season long.
You can’t stop clicking on the “shop now” buttons on your TikTok feed. You’re disappointed to discover most of these luxury candle brands aren’t sustainable—let alone vegan. Are there even vegan candle brands out there?
Yes! Here is our round-up of 23 incredibly luxurious vegan candles perfect for the ber months ahead.
What is a Vegan Candle?
A vegan candle is made entirely from plant-based materials and cruelty-free products. This means it does not contain any animal products like tallow or beeswax and is produced without animal testing. Here are the key components of a truly vegan candle:
Wax Types
A vegan candle will use wax taken from plants instead of animal by-products. Some common examples are soy wax, coconut wax, and rapeseed wax. These plant-based waxes make vegan candles sustainable and clean burning—no toxic by-products here!
Wick Types
Wicks in vegan candles are typically made from cotton, hemp, or wood—all free from animal products and burn cleanly. Some non-vegan candles will use beeswax to coat their wicks, which doesn’t align with most vegans' no animal by-product principle.
Fragrance Types
Vegan candles use natural and essential oils for their fragrances. They avoid synthetic additives that may contain animal-derived ingredients. Essential oils extracted from plants provide a wide range of rich, complex scents while remaining cruelty-free.
Manufacturing, Packaging, and Testing
For a candle to be fully vegan, the manufacturing process must also be free of animal testing, and the materials used should be ethically sourced. Many luxury vegan candles go a step further by using sustainable packaging like recyclable glass jars or biodegradable materials.
