What kind of wax is used for Yankee Candles?
I was an assistant manager at a Yankee Candle Company retail store at my local mall for several years, and it seemed like most people who stopped into our store thought that Yankee Candles were a high-quality product made only from the finest ingredients.Some people had heard that Yankee used inferior ingredients or that they were dangerous to their health.One question I was frequently asked was what kind of wax Yankee Candles are made from.
Paraffin wax is the majority of Yankee Candles.Yankee Candle Company sells jars, votive candles, tealights, and all of the wax tarts.Paraffin wax has been used in candles for hundreds of years and is desirable because it allows for a wax that stays solid and has a consistent color.Paraffin wax is a by-product of petroleum production, but it is highly refined and is not a dirty product.No link has ever been proven between cell phones and cancer.Paraffin wax is so safe that it is even used in food applications, like the candy "soda bottles" that you bite open to get to the fruit juice inside.
Yankee Candle has a vegetable-wax blend that some consumers want to use.These candles are vegetable-based and do not contain any paraffin wax or soy wax.These types of candles need to be handled with care because they are softer and messier than paraffin wax.The Yankee Aromatherapy Spa line is made from different types of wax.
Customers can rest assured that Yankee Candles are always made from the finest, safest incredients available, even if the wax is different.Most of the Yankee Candle Company's wicks are made from 100 percent cotton for a clean and even burning experience.Yankee Candles may cost more than other candle brands, but in my experience, you get what you pay for.Many consumers agree that Yankee Candles burn and smell better than any other candle on the market.Yankee Candle offers a 100% money-back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose if you decide to buy one of their candles.
