Honestly, organic candles are Where! It's! At! Sure, regular candles are cute, and yes, of course, smell nice. But, unfortunately, a lot of them are made of not-so-great stuff, like paraffin wax, lead, phthalates, and other harmful chemicals (aka stuff you don't really wanna be inhaling). But good thing all-natural candles exist! These guys (made of soybeans, coconut, and beeswax as a base) are much safer for our precious noses, which is why I'm here with 16 of the best organic and natural candles worth trying out. (And, yes, they'll still serve you some *chef's kiss* aromas!)

Keep on scrolling to find a range of scents. Whether your taste is more on the sweeter side or the rugged one, I'm sure you'll come across something that you'll constantly want to have lit. Plus, I threw in some vegan options (aka no beeswax!) in there, too, if you wanna go full plant-based. Happy shopping!

(Oh, and if you're intrigued by more ~organic things~ check out these organic bed sheets while you're at it!)

Just because it's an organic candle doesn't mean it has to be boring. This vegan one certainly isn't. What I like best: You'll smell the fresh rose scent even when it isn't lit.

With over 25,000 (!!) rave reviews and an almost 5-star rating, this soothing scent will bring all the relaxing vibes to your space.
