Bayberry candles are made from the wax of the bayberry plant, specifically the berries of the Myrica pensylvanica shrub. Traditionally, these candles are associated with holiday celebrations, particularly in New England, where they have been used for centuries. The natural wax gives them a unique, pleasant scent and a rich green color. These candles are often considered eco-friendly because they are made from a renewable resource. Bayberry candles burn longer and cleaner than many paraffin candles, producing less soot. They are popular for their aromatic qualities and are often used to create a cozy atmosphere in homes during the winter months.
