Goodbye paraffin! Why switch to natural and handmade candles?

At Wimzzi, we’ll never offer you an industrial candle.

Here, every candle is hand-poured, using natural ingredients, with care and purpose.

We believe in well-being, sustainability, and local Belgian craftsmanship.

Artisans like N’Joy, Atelier Fox, Cap des Tentes, Daozen, Jay&Dyle, or Emelle all share the same mission: to create beautiful, healthy and responsible candles, good for your home… and for the planet.

But why switch to a natural, handmade candle instead of buying a supermarket one?

Here are 3 simple reasons that might change your candle habits for good.surface ?

1. A healthier candle for your home

Most industrial candles are made from paraffin, a petroleum by-product. When burned, they release black smoke, toxic chemicals and synthetic smells – not exactly what you want when relaxing.

At Wimzzi, we choose plant-based wax (soy, rapeseed, coconut…) – natural, biodegradable, and free from petroleum and harmful additives.

Candles from Daozen, Cap des Tentes ou Emelle are made without CMRs or phthalates, and with non-toxic fragrances. They smell amazing – naturally – and help keep your indoor air healthier.

2. A flame that lasts longer

Plant-based wax melts slowly, which allows the fragrance to spread gradually and gently. More importantly: your candle burns much longer than a paraffin one.

• Brands like N’Joy or Ouistiti, for example, re known for their long-lasting burn time. Perfect for cosy evenings — without constantly replacing your candle.
• And thanks to skilled craftsmanship, the flame is clean, steady, and always pleasant to watch.

3. A local and ethical choice

All candles on Wimzzi are handmade in Belgium, in small batches. That means no mass production, but thoughtful work, quality materials, and love in every detail.

Makers like Maison Kaori, les ptites bougies d'Amandine, or Mandala Candle create candles that are:

✅ Not tested on animals

✅ Made with locally sourced ingredients

✅ Packaged in reusable or recyclable containers

✅ Built to last – and to love

In short: one candle, many good reasons

A handmade plant-based candle is more than just a pretty scent.

It’s a choice for your well-being, for local makers, and for a more mindful lifestyle.
