Introduction

A candle making business is a venture focused on producing and selling candles to consumers. Candles are versatile products used for decorative, functional, and aromatherapy purposes. They are made from wax, which can be a combination of various materials like paraffin, soy, beeswax, or other plant-based waxes. The wax is often mixed with fragrance oils, essential oils, and color dyes to create a wide range of scents and colors to appeal to different tastes and preferences.

Candle making businesses offer an array of candle types, such as container candles, pillar candles, votive candles, taper candles, tea light candles, and specialty candles like aromatherapy or floating candles. Each type of candle requires specific techniques and molds to achieve the desired shape and design.

Starting a candle making business can be a rewarding and creative endeavor, with opportunities to cater to various customer segments and market demands. The business can be operated on a small scale, such as a home-based candle-making hobby turned into a small business, or it can grow into a larger commercial enterprise with its own production facility and distribution channels.
