Conscious Comfort: Why Your Next Candle Swap Should Be Plant-Based

Conscious Comfort: Why Your Next Candle Swap Should Be Plant-Based

The flickering glow of a candle is the simplest way to create a warm, inviting atmosphere in your home. But for a truly conscious home, the wax matters just as much as the scent. At That Green Store, our Plant-Based commitment means every candle we stock is a healthier choice for you and the planet.


Here is a deep dive into the easiest and most impactful switch you can make: swapping your conventional candles for Plant-Based ones:The Problem with Traditional Waxes

  • Paraffin Wax: This is the most common wax, and it is a byproduct of the petroleum industry. Burning paraffin releases various toxins and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into your air.
  • Beeswax: While natural, beeswax is an animal product. Upholding our Plant-Based standard means we exclude it to remain fully cruelty-free.

The Plant-Based Solution: Cleaner, Kinder, Better


When you choose a Plant-Based candle, you are choosing an eco-friendly home fragrance solution that is superior in three key ways:

  1. Cleaner Air, Healthier Home: Plant-Based waxes like soy, coconut, and rapeseed burn cleanly with minimal soot. This means a healthier environment for your family and pets, reducing your exposure to the byproducts of fossil fuels.
  2. Extended Enjoyment: Natural soy wax and other plant waxes have a lower melting point than paraffin, which means they burn slower and last longer, giving you more hours of beautiful, clean scent.
  3. Ethical Sourcing: Our Plant-Based candles EU suppliers adhere to strict ethical sourcing guidelines, often using essential oils for fragrance and ensuring that the entire supply chain is free from animal products.

The Simple Swap:


Trade your old candles for any of our plant-wax options. This one small change instantly elevates your space, making your home not just smell lovely, but genuinely healthier and more aligned with your Plant-Based values.
