If you’re a candle lover then you know finding candles that are of the best quality can be tough. Until I found WoodWick Green candles, I was feeling as though there was no way I’d find the perfect candle!
People enjoy candles for many reasons. Décor and ambiance are at the top of the list but coming in a close second is scent and clean burning. If you love scented candles, you want to actually smell the scent of the candle and not the ingredients the candle is made from. Then, the idea of a candle burning ‘clean’ – which basically means that there is no smoke and residual toxins floating abut in the air.
Candles made from veggie wax are the best kind of scented candles you can get. Let’s take a look at the different types of candle wax to compare to veggie wax:
Paraffin Wax -
* Wax derived from processing Petroleum Oil
* It is not a renewable resource
* Non-food grade paraffin wax can contain oils and other impurities, which may be toxic or harmful
* Has a melting point of 126–135° F
* Does not clean up easily with soap and water
Beeswax -
* Wax derived from a beehive used to make fine candles
* It is a renewable resource
* Has a high melting point of 144 to 147 °F
Soy Wax -
* Wax derived from soybeans used for high-end candle making
* It is a renewable resource
* Has a lower melting point than paraffin
* Cleans up easily with soap and water
Vegetable Wax -
* Wax derived from the leaves of plants
* It is a renewable resource
* Has a lower melting point than paraffin
* Cleans easily with soap and water
* Produces virtually no soot
* Veggie blend candles are a cleaner burning alternative to most other candles.
*They produce no harmful carcinogens.
*Veggie wax candles burn up to 50% longer than most other candles.
* Burn evenly from top to bottom so there is no wasted wax!
* An incredibly realistic scent; an apple smells like an apple.
As you can see, veggie wax is absolutely the best compared to other types of candle wax. WoodWick Green candles are a smart buy because they are made from 100% veggie wax. There’s nothing better than burning a scented candle that not only burns clean and fresh but actually smells as the scent it is made to!

Some people are partial to fragrance lamps. A fragrance lamp is actually a catalytic diffusion lamp that purifies the air while imparting a fragrance. Fragrance lamps have been around a very long time. In fact, they date back to the 1800s and have shown to be safe and effective.
A fragrance lamp diffuses aroma into the air while it purifies. This is definitely a plus during the winter months when many people must keep the windows in their homes closed. Some of the fragrance lamp oils used are essential oils, giving the lamps an aromatherapy application as well.
One of the most loved aspects of the fragrance lamp is the way they operate. The process is initiated by lighting a stone burner, which is seated at the mouth of the lamp. After about two to three minutes the flame is blown out but the heated burner remains active.
The fragrance lamp does not operate with an open flame, making it quite safe. However, the lamp fuel contains 90% isopropyl alcohol and should be regarded as a highly flammable liquid. Initially, to start the catalytic wick it is necessary to light the catalytic burner with a flame and let it burn for approximately two to three minutes until it reaches the correct operating temperature. Of course caution should still be used when operating a fragrance lamp but it is much safer than having a constant open flame.
The lower operating temperature allows the aromatics to be diffused very efficiently into the air without being burned. One of the by-products of these fragrance lamps is low-level ozone, which has been attributed to the purification process of the lamps in reducing bacteria and eliminating odor. This alone is an excellent reason to choose to use fragrance lamps on a regular basis!
Fragrance lamps come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Some are made of crystal and some are even hand painted. Just as the Comfort Candles, they too can be used to decorate a room and give a comfortable warm feeling. Each has it’s own unique way of making a house feel more like a home.
