When We Say 'Plant-Based Derivative Oils,' What Do We Mean?

There’s something special about the power of nature, especially when it’s harnessed in products we use every day. Whether it's in the food we eat, the skincare we apply, or the candles we burn, nature’s gifts have the ability to elevate our lives. Plant-based derivative oils are one of those hidden gems, and they’re quickly becoming a game changer in the world of wellness and home products.

At Living Good Candle Co., we’ve harnessed the magic of these oils to create candles that do more than just smell amazing—they help you create a healthier, more sustainable home.

The Magic of Plant-Based Derivative Oils

You’ve likely heard of plant oils like lavender or peppermint, but plant-based derivative oils are a little different. These oils are a blend of essential oils, absolute oils, and non-toxic plant-based inspired oils, which are carefully refined to enhance their natural properties. The result is a concentrated, stable oil that offers all the benefits of traditional plant oils, with the added advantage of being completely non-toxic and free from harmful chemicals. Whether you’re using it in a candle, skincare, or aromatherapy, these oils deliver a pure, clean experience that enhances your well-being.

What makes these oils special? They’re natural, renewable, and biodegradable, offering not only powerful benefits for you but for the environment, too. At Living Good Candle Co., we combine these oils with 100% pure beeswax to create candles that are as clean-burning as they are beautiful, filling your home with natural aromas without the toxins and chemicals found in conventional candles.

Why Plant-Based Derivative Oils Are a Game Changer

When we started creating candles at Living Good Candle Co., we knew one thing for sure: we didn’t want to follow the crowd. We wanted something cleaner—something that made sense for people who care about what they bring into their homes.

So, we took a closer look at the oils we use—and what we found made all the difference:

Essential oils come from steam distillation, capturing the purest part of the plant’s essence.
Absolute oils are produced through solvent extraction, ideal for delicate botanicals that can’t handle heat.
Plant-based inspired oils are thoughtfully formulated oils that are completely non-toxic and free from harmful chemicals like phthalates. Since true musk can’t be sourced from nature, we use a clean, non-toxic alternative—widely used in perfumery—for its rich, grounding aroma.

The Power of Our Plant-Based Oil Blend

While we prioritize using plant-based oils—like essential oils and absolutes—for a cleaner and more natural scent, we also incorporate high-quality, non-toxic fragrance oils when needed. Each of our blends is carefully crafted through thoughtful selection and precise balancing of different aromatic sources.

That said, plant-based oils do have some limitations. Take our bestselling Palo Santo candle, for example—it’s built on a base of real Palo Santo essential oil, but to add depth and lasting warmth, we include a soft musk note. Since natural musk isn’t available, we use a lab-created version that is completely free of harmful chemicals like phthalates, parabens, and other toxins. These intentional choices allow us to create rich, memorable scents while staying true to our clean standards.

Now, here’s what makes our blend truly special:

Non-Toxic and Chemical-Free: When you burn a candle made with our plant-based oils, you’re not inhaling harmful chemicals. Instead, you’re enjoying a pure, clean burn that’s free from the toxins and artificial elements that can pollute the air. Whether you’re lighting a candle to unwind or to fill your space with a soothing aroma, you can rest easy knowing it’s completely non-toxic.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: The oils used in our candles come from renewable plant resources, which means they’re better for the environment than their synthetic counterparts. By choosing products with plant-based oils, you’re supporting eco-conscious choices and helping to reduce the environmental impact of your purchases. Pair that with our pure beeswax candles, and you’ve got a perfect combo of sustainability and wellness.
Wellness Benefits: From calming lavender to energizing peppermint, plant-based oils bring more than just great aromas. They offer real health benefits, from stress relief to mood-boosting properties. Combined with beeswax, these oils work to improve the air quality in your home, creating an environment that’s both soothing and healthy.
