WHY COCONUT WAX MAKES A BETTER CANDLE
Wax is the largest component of candles, so it’s worth finding out what you’re actually burning. Inferior wax can create unhealthy airborne chemicals, while some environmentalists have raised concerns about deforestation and heavy use of pesticides and fertilizers associated with demand for some types of waxes. We’ve discovered that there’s a much better choice for candles- coconut wax. This earth-friendly wax is created from a majority of coconut oil blended with other natural waxes.
- Coconuts are considered a sustainable crop (high yield and crop renewal per hectare).
- Organic by nature, coconut oil comes from its raw material, the coconut flesh. Production is sustainable and free from toxins, the use of pesticides and the need for deforestation.
- Coconut wax is made by cold pressing the oil out of the meat of the coconut. The oil then sustains hydrogenation and is turned into coconut wax with a beautiful, creamy white consistency.
- Coconut wax has been overlooked by the candle industry because it is more expensive per kilo.
- Wax & Flair’s coconut oil is sourced sustainably within an RSPO certified supply chain.
BENEFITS OF WAX & FLAIR COCONUT WAX BLEND CANDLES
Wax & Flair uses the best coconut wax blend on the market- a blend of soya oil, high quality cold pressed and refined coconut oil, and a unique vegetable based emulsifier.
- The inclusion of the coconut oil leads to a wax that burns very evenly compared to other waxes.
- Coconut wax burns more slowly so your Wax & Flair candle will last longer! It also burns extremely cleanly.
- Coconut wax holds a higher fragrance concentration than soy wax alone, which may lose their subtle notes and character.
- Our wax maintains the integrity and maximum volume of our fragrances, and throws hot and cold scent extremely well.
- Best of all it’s natural, kosher, vegan, halal and bio-gradable
DOESN’T COCONUT WAX SMELL OF COCONUT?
Wax & Flair’s coconut wax uses use a hydrogenated and refined coconut oil. The refining process removes the coconut scent.
