What is a Pearled Candle?

Pearl candle is a kind of palm wax, and its source is palm oil. Because it looks like tiny pearls, the market generally calls it a "pearl-shaped candle." In addition, this product is also called "sand wax" and "granular wax." Compared to other candle materials, pearl wax, or pearl candle, has the advantages of high hardness, long burning time, and strong plasticity.

The burning time is about 10% longer than soy wax, so consumers can enjoy a more lasting fragrance. In addition, palm wax can be made into various candles, which enhances its market adaptability and opens up creative possibilities for users intrigued by the potential for unique candle creation.

It is worth noting that the pearl candle produces less smoke when burning, making it a clean-burning, more environmentally friendly option. According to statistics, palm candles account for more than 25% of the global aromatherapy candle market. One in four consumers choose palm candles.

Although the price of pearl candle is slightly higher than that of soybean wax and coconut wax, it has high hardness, long burning time, and low smoke emission.

What is the raw material of pearl candle in candle making?

We mentioned earlier that pearl wax originated from palm wax, but in fact the palm wax family is divided into palm wax and carnauba wax, and pearl wax belongs to palm wax.

What are the similarities and differences between them?

Although both are classified as "palm wax" and indeed come from the palm tree family, palm wax and carnauba wax are palm waxes made by different processes. Palm wax is extracted from fruit oil, while carnauba wax is extracted from leaves. No matter what kind of palm wax, its ignition point is above 70°C, and it burns stably, making it an excellent choice for candle making, especially when considering the process of creating refillable and refreshable candles by pouring the wax into a container. It is often used to make cylindrical candles by mixing with other waxes. Due to its high brightness and hardness, it is widely used in the field of automotive beauty wax besides aromatherapy candles. Many high-end car waxes are made of palm wax.
