No, there are many different types of candles. Different types of wax have different features that they can contribute to the final product.

"So what's Natural Wax?"

Natural wax occurs naturally in our environment or as a bi product of something else that occurs naturally.  Don't be fooled into believeing that some waxes are not natural.  Bees wax is natural wax, so is earwax but I don't want a candle made of that!

Some will tell you that Paraffin wax is not a natural wax since it has to be processed.  Soy wax and Vegetable wax must also be processed so you can't call paraffin wax a non natural wax and call soy or veggie wax natural.  This is a common missconception in our industry and within our company.

When I first started my business back in January 2005, I advertised our candles as soot free. This was a mistake. I have since educated myself about the candle industry as well as the different types of candles and learned a very simple fact, everything with a flame is capable of producing soot. I can however say our candles are nearly soot free. This is based on my personal use of our product as well as the testimonies from my customers. You will not find a nasty black soot ring around the tops of our jar candles.

We market a candle product made from Vegetable wax. There is no paraffin or beeswax and while our formulations may contain soy, only a candle that contains 25% soy should be considered a soy candle. It is not a soy candle.

Not for the gourmet market. Soy is the current “Buzz” word in the candle industry as well as other industries. In the gourmet market, customers are looking for a highly scented product and they don’t care if it’s soy, vegetable wax or paraffin.

Actually until very recently our final product did contain beeswax. Currently North America is experiencing a decline in Bee populations which is called colony collapse. The cause of this phenomenon isn’t really known but it seems to occur in cycles every 30 or so years.
Because of the current colony collapse the price of Beeswax has gone up dramatically causing it to be removed from our product line.

Not true! There currently is not sufficient evidence to support any health claims about paraffin candles. When I started my business I also used this “marketing technique” mostly because it was what I was told about our products. It’s a common tactic used by many distributors who simply do not know the truth and are relying on what they have been told.

Quite simply because our candles smell wonderful and are better performing than others on the market. They are also made from renewable resources and are right in line price wise with the traditional counterparts.
