Coconut Wax

 

The Egyptians first invented wax candles over 7000 years ago using beeswax and papyrus. Since their inception, research has been ongoing to find the best candle wax. And while the search isn’t over yet, after a lot of research and testing the best in existence is coconut wax.

Most of us have at least one scented candle in our home, whether it be for a boost of fragrance, decoration or simply relaxation after a long day at work. 

Paraffin wax has been the most popular wax to make candles in the last few centuries as it's got a good burn quality and most importantly for candle makers, it's very cheap. However, it's important to know where paraffin wax comes from if we're burning it in our homes every evening. It all starts with crude oil, which is basically petroleum (petrol). 

A study from South Carolina State University found that burning paraffin wax can emit harmful fumes such as Toluene and Benzene these chemicals are typical inhaled and can affect people that suffer from asthma and has been linked to lung cancer.

Before paraffin wax is sold to the industry manufacturers must add industrial strength bleach. Yes, this bleach is at 100% strength compare this to a typical household bleach which is on average only 10% This bleaching process creates dioxins causing potential harm to our health. The international agency for research on cancer identified one dioxin as carcinogenic to humans – having the potential to cause cancer.

The coconut wax candle is created primarily from the high-melt coconut oil. It blends in perfectly with other natural, harder waxes to create a breathtaking burning candle. The fantastic aroma of coconut wax candles is simply refreshing. This slow-burning candle is what you need for that lasting scent.

Below are some of the benefits of the coconut wax candles.

Essentially, no candle flame will be entirely soot-free. However, in comparison to the soy and paraffin counterparts, coconut wax candles burn the cleanest. You can be assured of almost zero soot, thus maintaining the standards of your surfaces.

We derive coconut wax from the hydrogenation process. Hydrogenation involves the transformation of coconut oil into wax. Thus, these candles comprise of entirely organic and renewable material. They, therefore have a very minimal environmental impact. They guarantee sustainable ecological preservation. You can comfortably enjoy the beautiful scents without feeling guilty of harming the environment.

Slow-burning

Coconut candle waxes are slow-burning, with a superior scent throw. Their ability to hold fragrances is top-notch. They provide you a strongly scented candle whose great scent lasts.

Generally, standard wax candles burn up in just a couple of hours. However, your coconut wax candle will serve you for long burn hours. And you can relax knowing that you are getting more bang for your buck.

Sustainability

As their name suggests, we derive coconut wax candles directly from the coconut plant. These candles have guaranteed sustainability since coconuts are easily renewable. Thus, they are more superior to soy wax candles. Our inhouse wax blend contains 90% of coconut wax while the rest is another natural and sustainable wax. This other wax is used to harden coconut wax and allow the candle to last longer.

If quality and ease of use are the core determiners for you when acquiring wax candles, then look no further.

With their fantastic scent throw, coconut wax candles are undoubtedly worth it. Their longevity and clean-burning are outstanding.
