Natural Wax Candles

Creations By Cassandra™ believes natural products promote a healthier lifestyle. All our candles are made with 100% natural wax. Our container, travel, and votive candles are made with 100% soy wax, and our pillar candles are made with 100% palm wax.

Soy wax is made from all natural soybeans. Soybeans are a reneweable resource that is a significant component of our agricultural economy. Palm wax is an all-natural, reneweable resouce that is obtained from the oil palm in Southest Asia.

Many candle makers use wax made from paraffin, which is an oil-based synthetic substance, instead of natural wax although it is readily available. Parrafin wax is a petroleum derivative which is a byproduct of the gasoline refinement process. Due to its structural components, paraffin wax emanates numerous toxins and carcinogens into the air when burned.

Candles made with natural wax have many beneficial advantages when compared to candles made from parrafin:

• virtually Soot Free (burns clean leaving no soot on walls, furniture, blinds, curtains or in your lungs)

• toxin-free and non-carcinogenic. (If the candle had no scent or color it would be entirely edible)

• hypoallergenic - Since natural wax is toxin-free it poses no irritation to people with breathing difficulties.

• biodegradable and water soluble - cleans up easily with soap and hot water

• burns cooler and more uniformly leading to longer use.

The cost difference between natural wax candles and parrafin is negligible, especially once environemental and health factors are considered. Once you try Creations By Cassandra™ natural wax candles you may never purchase another paraffin wax candle again.
