How did we choose?
We considered several factors when compiling this list of the best vegan candle brands. Not only did we look at quality and price, but we looked at company goals and social involvement.
In addition, a few of these brands go above and beyond in their mission.
We are very supportive of brands that have a positive impact on the world and do their part to make the world a better place.

Notice some missing brands?
We consciously left off a few brands that are vegan because they use paraffin wax in their candles. While paraffin wax is technically vegan, it is also a petroleum byproduct. When paraffin wax candles burn they release toxins that are known to cause cancer, among other things.
While Beeswax is natural, it is not vegan. We did not list any producers of beeswax candles on this article.

Conclusion
You have a lot of great brands to choose from when looking for your next candle. Look for the scent you love and place an order and it is as easy as that. However, I prefer to support brands that also have a cause I can get behind.
