What makes natural wax candles different ?
Traditionally, candles are made from paraffin. Paraffin is a by-product of crude oil – just like gasoline or asphalt.
Soy candles are made from soy wax. Soy wax is made from soybean oil and other vegetable components.
Palm wax is derived from the fruit of palm trees.
Why is natural vegetable wax better ?
Soy Wax Candles Facts And Features:
Soy burns cleaner:
Because it's a natural, vegetable product (and not a petroleum product like paraffin) soy wax does not product black soot or potentially dangerous toxins when burning.
Soy wax burns longer:
Soy burns at a cooler temperature than paraffin, soy wax burns noticeably longer. How much longer depends on the style and the conditions in which it is being burned, but a soy candle will generally burn 25%-50% longer than a comparable paraffin candle.
Soy wax is made from a renewable American resource:
American grown soybeans are the key ingredient in soy wax. The soy oil derived from these soybeans is generally in surplus and in our small way – we contribute to the utilization of this farm commodity.
Palm Wax Candles Facts And Features:
The main ingredient in palm wax is palm oil, which is obtained from palm oil trees. The oil of the palm tree is a natural renewable resource. It has a higher yield and is more resilient than any other oilseed crop. No artificial fertilizers or chemical treatments are required for its cultivation. Purchasing a palm wax candle helps to support the farmers who raise the palm wax trees for a living.
Palm wax, unlike any other waxes, forms crystals on the surface of the candle as it cools. Different molds contribute to the creation of different crystal patterns. The dye and fragrance combination used in a candle also influence the crystallizing patterns. The bright flame in combination with the unique crystallization patterns of palm wax candles produce a beautiful illumination effect which is unique to each candle and has been compared to being a work of art.
