When choosing a candle from Bath and Body Works, it's important to consider the ingredients. The candles from Bath and Body Works typically contain ingredients such as hydrogenated soybean oil, paraffin, hydrogenated palm oil, fragrance (parfum), and various other components like stabilizers and emulsifying agents
. If you're looking for candles with specific ingredients, it's recommended to search for candles that are 100% soy or list a detailed ingredient breakdown. Additionally, consider the type of wick used, as it can affect the way the candle burns and the amount of smoke and soot it produces. Most wicks are made from cotton with a paper, zinc, tin, or cotton core, and cotton wicks are generally the best to avoid soot, smoke, and flaring
. If you prefer natural and non-toxic candles, you can also look for options that use beeswax, coconut oil, pure essential oils, and wooden wicks, and are free of paraffin and artificial fragrance oils
