Compassion feels and smells magnificent! Adding fragrance to your home with vegan candles is a simple, affordable way to create mood-boosting ambiance. It also adds character to your space, allowing each room to have its own vibe.

We’ve compiled a list of pleasantly scented candles that were made with kindness: These products were not tested on animals and do not contain animal-derived ingredients. These companies provide delicious-smelling scents for every season and mood, proving that there’s no reason to support businesses that pay for cruel archaic tests on animals. We also don’t need to steal bees’ wax or honey.

If you share your home with an animal companion, please remember that certain smells can cause respiratory problems, allergies, skin reactions, or other side effects. Ask your veterinarian about using any fragrance products.

Cruelty-Free and Vegan Candles

Few things are more relaxing than a candlelit room. Candles can add a warm glow to a gloomy day and promote feelings of relaxation.

For a compassionate candle selection, opt for soy wax. Paraffin wax releases chemicals and soot into the air that are bad for you, your animal companions, and the environment. And bees are killed for beeswax.

Happy cruelty-free shopping! Before making a purchase, check our database to see if a company tests on animals. There are no specific laws concerning “cruelty-free” or “no animal testing” labeling of products, and companies may not have the same high standards as PETA’s database. We recommend purchasing only products made by companies on our “Companies That Don’t Test on Animals” list.
