Natural Candles

Soy Wax/Palm Wax

Paraffin Wax

Comes from soy bean oil/palm oil.  A natural resource grown by farmers.

Petroleum by-product and is the most common type of wax used due to its low cost for the manufacturer.

Soy wax burns cleaner and longer.  Burns approximately 30-50% longer. It is non-toxic, with no petrol-carbon soot. Soy candles produce about 90% less soot that paraffin candles. Also retains fragrance longer. Scented soy/palm candles distribute more flavour -  cooler burning candles and faster scent dispersion.

Soy/palm wax will not discolour your walls and furniture from petroleum byproducts. Wicks are lead free – made of cotton

Paraffin wax releases thick black soot when burned, as well as 11 documented toxins, 2 are carcinogenic - Toluene and Benzene.  All 11 of these compounds have been considered "toxic air agents". The American Lung Association has warned consumers of unhealthy indoor air quality from burning paraffin candles. Further, respiratory illness has been found to a side effect, especially for those suffering from asthma.

Environmentally Friendly - a renewable source.

Contributes to the dependency on crude oil.

Easily cleans up with soap and water.  If you've ever spilled paraffin wax, you'll appreciate this.  Soy wax can be easily extracted from glass, tin, and other material for recycling.

Not easily removable from clothing, carpet, or other material.
