Why Is Palm Wax Better?

Nature's Finest Palm Creations candles are made from 100% all-natural palm wax. The palm wax used to make these candles is harvested from coconuts grown in Malaysia. Palm Creations candles are designed to burn completely and cleanly with virtually no soot. The natural character of palm wax gives each Palm Creations candle a unique, beautiful, crystalline appearance.

Palm candles afford a longer-burning, higher-quality candle experience. Palm wax holds and disperses fragrance evenly throughout the burn of the candle. Because of the palm wax and the way in which each Palm Creations candle is made, they burn significantly longer than the average candle on the market. Palm Creations candles also burn completely leaving little or no wax on the side of the candle.

Not all candles are made the same. Unfortunately the majority of candles on the market are made from paraffin, a petroleum-based wax. So when people burn the average candles off the shelf, they are really burning a petroleum by-product - not very appealing!

Palm candles burn cleaner. No one wants to breathe in petroleum by-products, much less for something that is intended for pleasure like a candle. The potentially toxic soot particles produced by paraffin candles are tiny and can be breathed into the deepest part of a human lung. In side-by-side comparisons with Palm Creations candles and paraffin candles, there is a noticeable difference in how palm wax candles create virtually no soot. You can breathe easily and safely enjoy burning candles that are made with palm wax.

Palm is the environmentally responsible wax. The coconuts used to make Nature's Finest palm wax can simply be harvested while the trees continue to grow. As long as palm trees continue to grow, we can harvest palm wax with little impact on our environment. Another environmental benefit is that palm wax is fully biodegradable.

Paraffin, on the other hand, is a byproduct of oil refining. It is a nonrenewable resource, so once we are out of oil, we will no longer be able to produce paraffin. Additionally, paraffin is not easily biodegradable. Maybe we should refer to paraffin candles as the longer-lasting candles after all!

Why isn't every candle on the market made from palm wax? Palm wax is more expensive than paraffin. For many candle companies, the cost savings of using paraffin outweighs the potential environmental and health risks that are introduced by paraffin candles. However, you do have options.
