Key market participants in the U.S. are diversifying their product offerings and experimenting with various wax blends and essential oils. In June 2021, the Candle-lite Company, a U.S.-based company, launched CBD-infused candles and wax melts under their Essential Elements brand.

Kroger Family of Stores became the first retailer to feature these products in their stores. This product line includes 100% pure CBD oil along with essential oils and a natural wax blend. This product launch marks the first mass-produced line of CBD candles and wax melts nationally in Food/Drug/Mass, offering up to 110 hours of burn time and cruelty-free, hand-poured production in the U.S.

This variety appeals to a broader consumer base, including those seeking the benefits of CBD over and above traditional fragrances. Innovations in product formulations contribute to market expansion, attracting new customers who are interested in unique and wellness-oriented home fragrance options such as new fragrances in wax melts and CBD oil-infused wax melts.
