👉 Candle fluid is the liquid component of a candle that carries the fragrance, wax, and colorants. Typically made from petroleum-based or plant-derived oils, it serves as the medium through which scent and visual appeal are transferred to the candle's wick and surface. The quality of candle fluid significantly impacts a candle's burn quality, scent throw, and overall aesthetic, making it a crucial element in candle-making. High-quality candle fluid ensures a clean burn, better fragrance retention, and vibrant coloration, while also influencing the candle's longevity and safety.
