Palm wax candles
October 5th, 2008 -- Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment »I’ve recently started making Palm wax candles in preference to soy candles.
This is for a couple of reasons. I found out that soy candles are not as environmentally friendly as they are cracked up to be. Vast swathes of rainforest are cut down to grow soy beans. The soy wax is a by-product produced when the oil is extracted.
Palm wax is a by-product of palm oil production but the trees last for years and rainforest is not destroyed to make it. I particularly like the patterns that the wax forms when it sets. The candles burn in just the same clean way as soy candles.
I’ve got so many dyes and scents that I’m going to have a go at selling them on ebay.
