OK, so what's a Gourmet
Veggie Candle?
Gourmet vegetable candles are clean-burning candles with practically no sooty
residue. Because they are made from all natural veggie wax, they have a
low melting point which means they burn cool. Our gourmet candles
are triple-scented and double-wicked! This allows their long
lasting, pleasant aromas to quickly scent the air. These
candles are made from a renewable resource -- our American farmers, using
no petroleum-based paraffin! These candles are
currently available in over 90
wonderful scents with more coming every month.
Q:
What is paraffin wax?
A: Paraffin wax is a by-product of petroleum.
Q:
What is the benefit of veggie wax candles?
A:
Vegetable Candles have the potential to be another
significant market for the American Farmer. When vegetable wax candles represent just
10% of the existing candle market it will require an additional 55
million pounds of recycled plant and vegetable matter that makes up a
vegetable wax candle! This makes our Gourmet candle an all-natural
product we can be proud to own and proud to sell!
Q:
How do I know if the candle I burn is paraffin?
A: Check the label... if it doesn't say "Veggie
Wax," it's most likely made from paraffin. Second, the wax
look different. Paraffin is a more transparent wax, and usually
has dark discolorations. Vegetable wax is more opaque and may have white
discolorations and/or "bands" of color shades throughout the
candle.
Q:
What else should I know about vegetable wax?
A: Veggie wax is toxin-free, which
means our candles won't emit fumes and soot. Our candles are also
safer for many asthma sufferers (your results may vary). Veggie wax
burns slower and offers a longer lasting candle. Plus, our wax is easy
to clean up... just use soap and water!
