Jar Candle; Soy Candles, Beeswax Candles, GMO-free Candles are Environmentally Friendly Healthy Candles
Getting ready for a special occasion party or gathering typically means putting out unique or out of the ordinary candles to provide extra ambiance for a festive atmosphere. But don’t grab the paraffin wax candles; instead, pick up a soy candle or two or three because they burn cleaner with less toxins and virtually no soot.
There are several alternatives to the regular paraffin wax candles which are made from byproducts of crude oils.
Beeswax candles are made from 100 percent beeswax and last a long time, saving money from having to purchase more candles. They also release air-cleaning negative ions into the air and smell great doing it. Beeswax candles are also allergy-free for those people who suffer from severe allergies or are sensitive to various toxins. They come in a variety of natural colors and when the candle wicks have reached their ends, an individual could use the leftover beeswax to make lip balm, hand creams or other candles, the wax is very soft. Beeswax candles are the most eco-friendly candles available
Soy candles typically are found in decorative jar candle holders and burn cleaner and longer than paraffin candles by nearly 50 percent. Choosing soy organic and GMO-free (genetically modified organism) will boost your candles’ green factor. There is a downside to the soy candles and that is they do not carry scent as far as most regular paraffin wax candles and the wax is soft so they have to come in a container, birthday or holiday menorah candles can not be made from soy wax.
Palm wax candles are made from the oil from coconuts in a process that can extract the oils without harming the trees. Additionally, palm oil candles and wax is completely biodegradable, but as with soy candles, look for GMO-free.
Candles make great gifts for any occasion such as birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, showers or Valentines Day. Some Internet candle companies allow consumers to mix different scents to come up with their own unique combinations like strawberry watermelon or Christmas pine and coconut.
