Wood wick and cotton wick: the way of choice for scented candle lovers

In the world of scented candles, the choice of wax core is often overlooked, but it is the key to candle burning and fragrance release. Wood wax core and cotton wax core, each has its own advantages, for aroma candle lovers, understanding the difference between them is the first step to choose their own candles.
1. Ignition experience:
Wood wax core: The ignition sound of wood wax core is usually more crisp than cotton wax core, giving people a unique sense of enjoyment. Moreover, the wood wax core usually has a faint woody smell when lit, which is also unique.
Cotton wax core: In contrast, the sound of cotton wax core when lit may be softer and less noticeable. However, it does not produce any additional odor, so if you are more interested in the aroma of the scented candle itself, cotton wax core may be better for you.
2. Burning effect:
Wood wax core: Wood wax core can provide a more stable burning effect, burning the wax liquid around the candle wick can be more evenly distributed, so that the whole candle burns longer, and reduce the possibility of black smoke.
Cotton wax core: Cotton wax core can also provide good burning results, but compared to wood wax core, cotton wax core will burn slightly faster, so if you want the candle to burn longer, you may need to trim the cotton wax core more frequently.
3. Environmental protection:
Wood wax core: Wood wax core is usually made of natural wood, with better environmental protection and sustainability.
Cotton wax cores: While cotton wax cores can also be natural, their production can consume large amounts of water resources and in some cases may require treatment with chemicals. Therefore, in terms of environmental protection, wood wax core may be slightly superior.

So, as aromatherapy candle lovers, how should we choose? It mainly depends on individual needs and preferences. If you are after pure aroma and soft atmosphere, and have enough budget, then wood wax core is undoubtedly a good choice. If you are more interested in price performance and practicality, cotton wax core is a more economical choice.
In addition, no matter what kind of wax core is chosen, we should take care to keep the candle clean and safe. Regularly clean the wax residue and dust at the bottom of the candle to ensure that the wax core burns more smoothly. At the same time, care should also be taken to avoid candles burning unattended to avoid accidents.
In short, wood wax core and cotton wax core have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of wax core mainly depends on individual needs and preferences. As aroma candle lovers, we should choose the most suitable wax core according to our actual situation, so that the aroma and atmosphere of candles can better accompany our lives.
