Why is a cotton wick so important?

Why is a cotton wick so important in a scented candle? Imagine the wick as your candle's magical ballerina dancer. A cotton wick has three superpowers:

  • Gentle, even dance: It burns cleanly and evenly, without jerking. This ensures a consistent flame and a steady summer breeze throughout your room.
  • Less soot, more shine: Cotton tends to produce less soot than cheaper alternatives. Less soot means a cleaner scent and cleaner hands when you need to refill or blow on the scent.
  • Slow, gentle, long: The fine fiber absorbs the wax and fragrance oil well, so the candle burns longer and spreads the fragrance gently throughout the room – like a cozy fragrance promenade.

Small but mighty: A good wick prevents whispering flames, bouncing flames, and scents that linger in the air. So, a cotton wick = your reliable partner for a harmonious, tranquil fragrance jungle at home.
