Why Handmade Candles Cost More
1
People ask why a handmade candle costs more than one from the supermarket. Here is where the money goes.
2
First, the wax. Natural waxes like soy cost more, but they burn cleaner and slower.
3
Then the fragrance. Good oils are blended and tested, and a candle needs a lot of it to fill a room.
4
Each one is poured by hand, left to cure for days, then checked and labelled one at a time.
5
Add the jar, the wick and careful packing, and the price starts to make sense.
6
Save this, and next time you buy handmade, you will know what you are paying for.
