Advantages Of Palm Oil Candles

What are palm oil candles?
Palm oil candles are a newly developed type of candles made from 100% palm oil. The palm oil is harvested from the palm kernels or fruit of the palm trees so no palm trees were harmed in any way by the extraction process.

Environmentally Friendlier
In today’s world almost everyone is trying to do their part to clean up the environment and palm oil candles are the perfect solution for candle enthusiasts who are concerned about the environment. All our candles are smokeless and sootless thus they will not mark up your walls or furniture. Their ability to burn cleanly is very helpful in cutting back any type of pollution that burning candles may cause to the environment. Actually, we have started selling palm oil candles to many Churches in Europe because our candle does not damage the Artifacts inside the Churches.

All Natural Products
We use no harmful dyes to color our candles because food coloring does the job as well. We also use 100% Cotton wicks imported from one of the finest wick manufacturers around to ensure the quality of the flame. None of our candles contain any kind of PETROLEUM Based products. At Isola Luce we try hard to ensure that our candles are non toxic because we know people have enough to worry about.

Longer Burning Time
Palm oil candles are heavier and denser than paraffin wax candles due to their higher molecular density and this makes them burn longer than their paraffin counterparts.

Stronger & More Durable Structure
Palm oil candles do not melt till temperatures reach 131’ Fahrenheit unlike paraffin candles which start to get soft at 86’ Fahrenheit. This higher melting point enables palm oil candles to retain their shape throughout their entire burning time without fear of folding over like paraffin wax candles. They are also more ideal candles in hotter climates and warmer temperatures. Should you need to ship our candles in the summertime, you don’t have to worry about damage due to melting (a problem common amongst paraffin and other types of waxes) because our candles can easily withstand high temperatures, even in the dessert.

Calm & Steady Flame
Palm oil candles have the highest concentration of stearic acid out of any other type of candle available. Stearic acid is the ingredient responsible for the brightest, whitest and most steady flame a candle can produce. Compare the flame that a palm oil candle gives to that of an inferior paraffin candle and you will see that palm oil candles has a beautifully bright white flame whereas the paraffin one will produce a more yellow and sometimes dimmer light.

Easier Clean Up
Our palm oil candles are virtually dripless when burned indoors and draft free, so most of the time they are worry free. However, should they accidentally spill, they are easy to clean up. Nevertheless, please follow proper burn instructions to get the most enjoyment out your candles.
