I am certain you will agree these are the best candles you will ever burn. The wax that we use is
100% blended vegetable (Palm) based! We do
NOT use
paraffin or petroleum based wax!
The main reason that we use "natural" palm wax
is because once the wick to our candles is lit, the ENTIRE surface of the candle
will liquefy within a very short period of time.
| Most other candle's flames will tunnel into the wax, leaving lots
of wax on the sides which blocks the view of the flame and very often does NOT
melt off the sides. |
When our container candle is 1/3 consumed, the wax line will be flat with the
top 1/3 of the glass completely clean of all wax and clear such that the flame
will be visible each and EVERY time the WindScents candle is lit.
Additionally... our candles burn CLEAN- no soot or smoke- and have an
extremely strong fragrance throw.
In a nutshell, the most uniquely identifying
qualities of this wax are that it melts at about 120 degrees, is a very "hard"
wax and exhibits a "quartz crystal" look.
This wax is relatively
EXPENSIVE as compared to most other waxes used by candle-makers today. We
purchase by the pallet (2,200lbs) such that we can get better pricing and give
you what we believe to be the absolute BEST wax on the market today.
Most
candle-makers today will only use "one-pour" waxes... those which can be poured
into containers all at once and never need be bothered with again. The wax we
use is "two-pour"... after filling the container about 7/8 full, we wait for the
wax to nearly fully cure, then must punch out (by hand, with a knife) all air
pockets which have formed.
We then re-heat the wax to "final-pour" the containers and fill in all such
pockets and tunnels. As you can imagine, this is EXTREMELY time consuming and
labor intensive... therefore, most candle-makers would NOT use this wax.
