Wax & Wit – The Urban Candle Company hails from Portland, Oregon, and is sure to make you LOL with their clever and witty candle offerings. Their candles are made with soy wax because it’s better for the environment and better for you.
Think of it as a healthy candle. Unlike paraffin wax, which gives off black soot when burned, soy wax burns cleaner. Since paraffin wax is petroleum-based, burning it produces black soot that can potentially stain curtains, walls, and carpets inside the home. As a vegetable-based wax, soy does not give off any harmful by-products that might cause damage. Soy is a healthier alternative to paraffin wax in that it does not release dangerous carcinogens into the air when melted as paraffin wax does.
Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax and because of this, soy candles will burn slower or longer than paraffin candles. This also means they release their scent longer too. These candles are biodegradable, which makes for easy clean-up. Yes, they are pricey candles. If you’re a candle connoisseur, then you already know the extra price is worth it. Plus, Wax & Wit brings you a selection of witty phrases and fragrances that will surprise and delight you!
