The Beauty of Wood Wicks: Why Shine Candle Co. Chooses the Best

A candle isn’t just about wax and scent—it’s also about the wick, the heart of the flame. At Shine Candle Co., we’ve chosen whisper wood wicks for our candles, not just for their performance and aesthetic appeal, but also for their sustainability and impact. Sourced from a local company dedicated to making a difference, these wicks represent more than just clean burning—they’re part of a greater story of transformation and environmental stewardship.


The Risks of Traditional Wicks


While the wick may seem like a small detail, it plays a big role in how your candle burns and what it releases into your environment.


1. Cotton Wicks

  • Treated fibers: Many cotton wicks are coated with chemicals or metals to improve burning. These substances can release harmful toxins into the air when burned.

  • Inconsistent burning: Cotton wicks are prone to mushrooming, tunneling, and uneven burns, which wastes wax and diminishes the candle’s lifespan.

2. Metal-Core Wicks

  • Toxic exposure: Some wicks are made with lead or other metal cores. While most countries have banned lead-core wicks, they can still occasionally be found in imported or low-quality candles. Burning these wicks releases harmful particles into your home.

  • Soot and smoke: Metal-core wicks often produce excessive soot, affecting indoor air quality and leaving residue on walls and furniture.
