Akun Candle Making

From Wax to Wick: The Art of Candle Making

Candle making is an age-old craft that marries artistry with science, resulting in products that not only illuminate but also elevate the ambiance of any space. At AKUN Home, we take immense pride in our exquisite line of scented candles, "Scents of Arabia," which infuse the opulence and tradition of Arabian culture into everyday life. This article delves into the intricate process of crafting high-quality candles, emphasizing the importance of selecting superior materials like GMO-free, plant-based waxes and high-quality wicks. We'll explore how different waxes and wicks impact burning time and scent dispersion, highlighting why AKUN Home candles excel in both craftsmanship and material choice.

The foundation of any candle is its wax, and choosing the right type is crucial for creating a superior product. Common wax types include paraffin, soy, beeswax, coconut, and plant-based waxes. Paraffin wax is widely used for its affordability, but it is less eco-friendly due to its petroleum base. Soy wax, derived from soybean oil, is renewable and burns cleaner and longer than paraffin. Beeswax is a natural, non-toxic option that burns slowly with a naturally sweet aroma. Coconut wax, produced from coconut oil, offers a smooth, clean burn and is often blended with other waxes for better performance. Plant-based wax, made from various plant oils, is the go-to choice for sustainability and environmental health. At AKUN Home, we use sustainable, GMO-free, plant-based waxes, ensuring our candles provide a clean burn while aligning with our eco-friendly values.

Wicks are the heart of a candle, determining its burn and scent distribution. Common wick types include cotton, wooden, hemp, and core wicks. Cotton wicks are traditional and widely used, offering a steady burn. Wooden wicks provide a unique crackling sound and enhance the sensory experience. Hemp wicks are eco-friendly and produce a slow, even burn. Core wicks, which include a central core, ensure a consistent flame. Quality wicks affect burn time, scent dispersion, and safety. At AKUN Home, we carefully select our wicks to complement our plant-based waxes, ensuring optimal performance and a premium fragrance experience.
