Wax Essentials, A Thousand Rose Petals Candle Tin
By Lilly Loves | October 21, 2008
I love scented candles, they're great for creating a relaxing atmosphere in a room and they make a fantastic alternative to air fresheners.
The Wax Essentials range from Ashleigh & Burwood of London are great value candles that make perfect gifts. They're ideal for home fragrance and are available in 15 different fragrances. The candle I'm reviewing here is the "Thousand Rose Petals" candle tin and is available to buy from CandlesToYou for a very reasonable £4.99
The Wax Essentials Thousand Rose Petal candle tin has a subtle Rose petal sent that makes a great air freshener for any room but is ideal for smaller rooms like bedrooms. The candle is 100% Palm Oil Wax. Whilst there is some concern over the effect on tropical rain forests due to the rising demand of Palm Oil, Palm Wax does have environmentally friendly attributes.
- Palm Oil Trees are a natural renewable resource
- Palm Oil Trees have a higher yield and are more resilient than any other oilseed crop
- No artificial fertilizers or chemical treatments are required for the cultivation of Palm Oil Trees
Palm Oil wax is ideal for candles because,
- It's virtually drip free and soot free
- It's biodegradable and water soluble which means spills can be easily cleaned
- It can hold twice as much fragrance as Paraffin, Gel or Soy Wax
- It has a a longer burning time that traditional waxes
The burn time for this candle is approximately 15-30 hours and it comes in a presentation tin 6cm heigh with an 8cm diameter that has a clear perspex lid.
I think these make an ideal Christmas stocking gift for anyone so start stocking up for Christmas now.
Available from www.candlestoyou.co.uk priced at £4.99 as well as the complete range of fragrances.
