There are many people that are accustomed to grabbing factory-made candles off the self without realizing the significant differences between these and their hand poured counterparts. At Arbrook candles, we take pride in the creation of candles in the old-fashioned style. We’re here to share why hand-poured candles are a cut above factory-produced ones.  

  1. Craftsmanship and attention to detail:

Hand poured candles are a labour of love. When we pour every individual candle we pour with passion and creativity. The process involves a careful hand in measuring and mixing, resulting in a product that is individually unique. But also made with precision and care. On the other hand, factory bought candles are part of mass production, often this is a sacrifice to the finer details that truly make a candle special.

  1. Customization and uniqueness:

When you choose a hand-poured candle, you’re not just selecting a fragrance and a colour; you are choosing a piece of art. Hand-poured candles can be customised to different tastes as in terms of colour, scent, and even design.  This means you can have a candle that perfectly complements you and your home. Factory candles, lack uniformity, the personal touch and uniqueness that hand poured candles offer.

  1. Premium ingredients:

Hand-poured candle makers like Arbrook use high-quality, carefully sourced ingredients. From the soy wax to the fragrance oils and wicks, every component is specifically chosen for its quality, resulting in the candle that burns cleanly and emits a constant and delightful aroma. On the other hand, factory bought candles may cut corners by using lower-quality materials, which can lead to lots of issues such as soot production or an inconsistent sent throw.

The environmental impact of hand-poured candles is significantly lower than the factory produced ones. Artisans tend to use natural and renewable, and sustainable materials. Additionally, hand-poured candles are known to produce less waste and are easier to recycle, contributing to a greener planet.

  1. Local small business support:

When you buy a hand-poured candles, you’re often supporting local economies but also ensures that you’re buying a product that is linked to a story, a face, and a community behind it. Factory candles are typically mass produced so that means large corporations that may not have the same level of personal connection with the customers.

  1. Reduced risk of toxins:

Hand-poured candles typically use a range of high-quality attributes to make the candles, such as the wax, we use soy, soy is a wax that doesn’t release any harmful chemicals when it is burned. Factory candles aften use paraffin wax, which emits harmful pollutants and toxins when lit, potential creating a negative effect on your indoor air quality.

  1. Artistic expression:

Candle making is a form of art, and hand-poured candles are an expression of that art. The artisans behind each candle bring their unique style. Resulting in candles that are beautiful works of art.
