Why Palm?
Many individuals have made the decision to adopt a greener lifestyle. There are many ways that humans can be more environmentally friendly. Even the smallest actions can make a positive impact on the planet. One thing those of us who enjoy the warm glow of candles can do is switch to buying natural palm wax candles. Most candles commonly purchased are made of low grade paraffin (a petroleum by-product). They contain impurities which are emitted into the air as the candle burns. These low quality candles also tend to use wicks which are made with a metal core like zinc or possibly lead. This is not good for the environment or your personal health. Why then you ask are they found in so many households; because they appear to be inexpensive.
Palm Wax and the Environment
The palm kernel has one of the highest oil contents of any plant, so a lot of wax can be grown in a small amount of space.
Benefits of using Natural Palm Wax are:
Burns Clean - Environmentally Friendly
Free of GMO - Genetically Modified Organisms
Fragrances absorbed well by oil making candles ultra scented
Palm wax finish has a beautiful appearance.
Why A Cotton Wick?
Lead core wicks were discontinued and have not been manufactured in the United States for several years. However, candles made with lead wicks are still allowed to be imported from other countries and are being sold across the United States. A cotton wick produces less soot thus making a cleaner burn. Exposure to the lead emitted by some of those other candles can pose a threat to those with a weakened immune system, including the elderly and children.

What is the Real Bargain?
Although you might pay a little extra for a Natural Palm Wax Candle, you will find it to be a better bargain than a paraffin candle. It is better for your health and the environment, and because palm wax is oil based, it burns slower and at a lower temperature than paraffin. It also distributes the fragrance better. You get more for your money with Natural Palm Wax.
