Natural Candles

Natural candles made from organic materials such as soy wax and palm wax are becoming increasingly popular. Much of the popularity of natural candles is due to the growing realization among candle enthusiasts that natural candles are healthier and more environmentally friendly than paraffin candles. While that view attracts people to natural candles, what really convinces them to switch permanently is their clean burn, rapid scent distribution, and relatively low cost.

Natural candles are our personal choice for day-to-day use. We like being able to shop "green" without having to sacrifice quality and enjoyment, or having to pay extra. We stock natural candles from numerous reputable candle makers, with offerings ranging from gourmet scented soy candles to soy-shea butter massage candles to palm wax candles—something for everyone.

Natural Candles Facts And Features

The most popular natural candles we carry are made from soy wax, an excellent medium for making container candles. Its low melting point ensures a cool, efficient burn and facilitates quick distribution of fragrance throughout a room. Soy wax is derived from soy beans, a renewable resource that we have plenty of right here in the U.S.A., so you won't have to worry about OPEC cutting off your candle supply!

The main ingredient in palm wax is palm oil, which is obtained from the fruit of palm trees. Palm wax has a unique crystalline structure that is quite attractive. It is a fairly versatile natural candle making material; it can be used to make tapers, pillars and container candles, and it is virtually dripless and soot-free.

We also offer natural candles made from a proprietary blend of vegetable waxes. These are the Cadillac of natural candles, but without the high price tag. Visit our sister website to order online.
