Common matte candles use soy wax, soy wax blends, palm wax blended with paraffin, and proprietary soy-based wax blends.
Matte candles are available with single and multiple wicks—commonly 1, 2, or 3 wicks—and typically use cotton wicks or wooden wicks.
Matte candles commonly come in ceramic and glass containers finished with matte or matte-textured coatings, including matte ceramic jars and matte glass jars.
Example jar volumes shown include 4 oz, 6 oz, 14 oz, and 15 oz.
Burn times vary widely—from about 11 hours up to 70+ hours. Many mid-size jars list burn times around 28–48 hours, with examples at 11, 28, 30, 48, and 70+ hours.
Features tied to scent performance include multi-wick designs, wooden versus cotton wicks, the use of essential or premium fragrance oils, and different wax blends (soy, soy blends, palm/paraffin mixes). Some product reviews also note strong scent throw.
Single-wick examples include burn times such as 11 hours and 70 hours; multi-wick examples include a 2-wick at about 30 hours and a 3-wick at about 48 hours, as shown in product details.
