The Real Cost of Cheap Candles

Ever heard the phrase, “You get what you pay for”?


Well, when it comes to candles, it’s literally true. We’ve all been tempted by those cheaper alternatives—but here’s the tea: they end up costing you way more in the long run.


At Chameleon Lab, we decided to put it to the test with a 9-hour burn comparison between a cheap candle and our beloved Chameleon Sand Candles. Spoiler alert: the results were jaw-dropping.

The Real Results:

🔥 Competing candle burned through 47 grams more candle sand—that’s more waste, less value.
✅ With 20 candles, you’d save 1 kg of sand using Chameleon.
✅ With 100 candles, you’d save a massive 5 kg!


And the differences didn’t stop there:

❌ Cheap candles = dingy residue, crumbly mess, and lackluster vibes.
✔️ Chameleon Sand Candles = clean burn, steady flame, and timeless elegance.


Why Settle for Less?

Cheap candles might look like a good deal upfront, but they dim your experience—and your wallet. With Chameleon Sand Candles, you’re investing in sustainability, quality, and a glow that lasts.
