Why does it look like there are water drops on top of my candle?Updated 18 days ago

Some candles can look like there are little drops of water on the surface. This is called “sweating” and can happen for two different reasons. 

One reason is that it may have a slightly higher concentration of fragrance oil than usual and is expressed through the surface to release it.This actually means that more scent is permeating the air for you before you even burn it!

Another reason is that the candle has been left in direct sunlight on a high temperature day or too close to a heat source, like a heater or any appliance that creates heat. 

This is similar to when a candle burns it begins by “sweating” before creating the wax pool which increases until the entire surface of the candle has melted to release the scent.
