The best organic non-toxic candles use natural waxes (soy, beeswax, or coconut), clean-burning cotton/wood wicks, and pure essential oils or plant-based fragrances. Top brands prioritize ingredient transparency and third-party certifications.

Clean-burning wicks (cotton, wood, or paper)

Pure fragrance sources (essential oils or natural extracts)
