About Palm Wax
These candles are produced out of 100 % stearin or palm wax. Stearin is a renewable resource that always can be replanted. It makes the candle burn very clean and smokeless. The wick used is pure cotton. As a result you will have a very steady bright flame and no waste-product as the candle burns itself out. The candle is paraffin free. It has no metal-lead or zinc-contents. Neither has it any animal derived ingredients.

100% pure natural Palm Wax is made from fruit berries of the palm oil tree. This same high quality palm tree oil can be found in hand lotions, shampoos and cosmetics. It’s the purest non-GMO food quality wax. Palm Wax is made just like essential oils simply pressed and distilled. Soy and paraffin candles involve solvent extraction using petroleum chemicals like hexane.

Warning
We recommend burning stearin candles in a glass holder as stearin can leak. This can also lengthen the burning time of a candle.

Place the candle on a saucer or heat protective surface as the container will get hot when the candle burns low. Do not place the container into any other candle holder.

Keep the burning candle out of reach of children and animals and never unattended. Place candle on a heat-resistant base. Do not place the candle near curtains or open windows.

More About the Symbolism of the Colour White
White is a colour most often associated with purity, cleanliness, innocence and peace.

In meditation and healing sessions it’s common for people to visualise a pure, white light surrounding them, with the white light washing away impurities and bringing a new sense of life, calmness and vitality. In healing, it’s also often used as a colour for protection, for cleansing emotional shock and bringing comfort and peace.

Wearing the colour white, or crystals which are white, such as opal, clear crystal quartz, white moonstone, opalite or white topaz, can reinforce your desire for purity, calmness and cleansing. Many people also choose to use white in interior decoration for similar reasons.

In the Western World, a bride’s gown is traditionally made of white material, said to represent chastity and virginity. This custom of wearing white is believed to have originated from Ancient Greece, where the temples were made of white marble and dedicated to the goddess Athena.

White is also the colour of the moon and of doves, and has a strong association with peace. At the other end of the spectrum it can mean surrender too, as a white flag is flown during conflict or war to show a person or side has surrendered.

In some cultures, white animals are considered sacred, like the white buffalo in Native American cultures. For Asian cultures, white is the sign of mourning – they wear white to funerals, instead of black.
