Why sprinkle salt into the candle?

The hack for long-lasting scented candles

A simple home remedy with a big impact: The "salt trick" is a real insider tip among candle lovers. But what exactly happens when you add a pinch of salt to the liquid wax? We'll explain how you can further optimize the burning time of your high-quality scented candles .

Here's how the salt trick works: As soon as your candle is burning and a small, liquid puddle of wax has formed around the wick, simply sprinkle in a small pinch of ordinary table salt.

The advantages at a glance:

  • Extended burning time: The salt raises the boiling point of the wax, causing it to melt more slowly. This transforms your favorites into truly long-lasting scented candles that burn up to 30% longer.
  • Less soot: Salt acts as a catalyst for cleaner combustion. This not only protects your walls but also preserves the purity of the aromas in your strong scented candles .
  • Not a drop: The salt helps to bind the liquid wax better, which prevents unsightly dripping, especially with freestanding candles.

Best Bougie Quality Promise: Our high-quality scented candles in glass jars are already optimized for maximum and consistent burning time. By using premium waxes and perfectly matched wicks, we guarantee a first-class experience. However, the salt trick is a fantastic additional tip to get the most out of every single hour of burning.

Safety note: Use only a small pinch. Too much salt can clog the wick or make the flame unstable.
