Candle Overview

A candle is a solid block of wax with a wick in the center that, when lit, provides light and often fragrance. Candles have been used for centuries for various purposes, including illumination, decoration, and religious ceremonies.

Components of a Candle

• Wax: The main body of the candle, which can be made from various materials such as paraffin, beeswax, soy wax, or palm wax.

• Wick: A string or cord that draws the melted wax up to the flame, allowing it to burn and produce light.

• Fragrance: Many candles are infused with essential oils or synthetic fragrances to provide scent when burned.
