Modern candle production methods now use some stabilisers in the palm wax candles, so as the candles don’t melt in hot conditions before being lit,  along with natural extracts of plant essential oils.

Palm oil mills perform the extraction, sterilization, clarification and purification into crude palm oil. The base palm oil is then sent to the refineries where it is then processed for use in many different products – including candles!

Generally palm wax candles are more environmentally friendly because they are free from petrochemical content and therefore can have a longer lasting burning. There’s also less smoke and a purer burn from the palm wax candle along with a more refined fragrance. Natural candles also tend to be used in aromatherapy.

If you’re trying to do your bit for the environment, prefer using natural resources and renewable alternatives, then all natural candles including palm wax and soy candles will make the perfect choice for any room in your home.
