Soy Candles from Nest

NEST Soy Candles Environmental NEST Soy Candles are... Non toxic or carcinogenic - gives off no Co2 or Petro-carbon chemicals. From re-newable and sustainable sources. Fairtrade - helping farmers in underdeveloped countries Biodegradable - can be composted or even eaten (but would not recommend this!). In your home NEST Soy Candles... Last 50% longer than paraffin and even beeswax! Produce 90-95% less soot than paraffin wax (so no black marks on walls or containers) and burn clean down the glass. Have a low melting point, so wax melts quickly and evenly giving a golden pool of oil (so be careful moving candle when lit). Our soy wax contains no added ingredients, which is why our candles come in containers - pure soy wax is too soft to form into pillars unless a chemical is added to harden the wax (so if you see a soy wax pillar candle you will know that its not 100% pure soy!). The pool of oil burns slowly and is an ideal medium for our organic essential oils as it holds them well and distributes them continually and evenly into the air so you will get uniform fragrance top to bottom of our candles. Our candles also come in only one colour - cream, this is because all colours used in candles are chemical in origin (even white candles have had dye added). Pure soy wax tends to darken as it burns down. Soy wax is also water soluble so glass containers can be washed out with warm soapy water or put in the dishwasher. Spillage is also easily cleaned up the same way as this wax does not mark or stain wood, tiles, glass or fabric (not sure about silk though). The wicks we use are made from recycled cotton so be aware that the flame can be slightly bigger than normal. All of the essential oils used are organic. Our Travel Tins are made from recycled alluminium and both tumblers and tins can be re-used as tea-light holders. All of our candles are packaged in 100% recycled tissue paper and boxes. Why not Paraffin Wax? Paraffin wax is a by product of the petroleum refining process - as it burns it emits chemicals and toxins similar to those found in the exhaust fumes of cars using diesel fuel! Also emits petro-carbon soot which can be as harmful to some people as cigarette smoke. Tests in America have found 11 carcinogenic compounds in paraffin wax candles. So any benefit from any aromatherapy or essential oils used in a paraffin candle can be outweighed by the chemicals that candle emits! So all things considered, it does seem a little silly to keep our homes free from as many chemicals as possible by being so careful about our cleaning products, only to then spoil the air by using a paraffin candle!
