What is the difference between a Natural Wax candle and a traditional paraffin wax candle?
There are many benefits to using natural wax candles. The traditional paraffin wax candles are petroleum based. The natural waxes that I and many other chandlers use are made from tropical plants that are easily reproduced, vegatables, botantical oils or soybeans. Most natural wax candles have a slower burn rate and burn without much of the soot and smoke that you can sometimes get from paraffin wax candles. Of course the main reason I chose to use natural wax is because it’s not only more enviromentially friendly, but supports our agriculture!
