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.
