Why Veggie Wax??

OK, so what's a Gourmet Veggie Candle?

Vegetable Gourmet candles are clean-burning candles with practically no sooty residue. Because they are made from vegetable & beeswax, they have a low melting point which means they burn cool. Veggie Gourmet Candles are triple-scented and double-wicked! This allows their long lasting, pleasant aromas to quickly scent the air. These candles are made from renewable resources using no petroleum-based paraffin! Currently, our candles are available in over 90 wonderful scents with more coming every month.

Q: What is paraffin wax?
A: Paraffin wax is a by-product of petroleum.

Q: What is the benefit of Vegetable wax candles?
A: Veggie Candles have the potential to be another significant market for the North American Farmer. When veggie candles represent just 10% of the existing candle market it will require an additional 55 million pounds of recycled plant and vegetable matter that makes up a vegetable wax candle! This makes the Gourmet candle an all-natural product we can be proud to own and proud to sell! The proprietary formula we currently use is a formula specifically designed for our candle's needs (clean burning and also strongly scented) and is comprised of vegetables and other natural, renewable resources. Although soy has the benefits of clean burning and warm water clean up, our blend has those benefits PLUS allows us to make the candle one of the strongest scented candles in the market!

Q: How do I know if the candle I burn is paraffin?
A: Check the label... if it doesn't say "Vegetable Wax," it's most likely made from paraffin. Second, the wax look different. Paraffin is a more transparent wax, and usually has dark discolorations. Soy wax is more opaque and may have white discolorations and/or "bands" of color shades throughout the candle.

Q: What else should I know about veggie wax?
A: Veg wax is toxin-free, which means our candles won't emit fumes and soot. Our candles are also safe for most asthma sufferers (your results may vary). Vegetable wax burns slower and offers a longer lasting candle. Plus, veggie wax is easy to clean up... just use soap and water!
