Have you given much thought to which type of wax your favorite candle is made of? Polling suggest that most consumers (of candles) prioritize price, scent and color when making a purchasing decision; however, it is my “expert” opinion that wax type may be the single best indicator of a candle’s quality. Wax is the fuel and has substantial influence over the toxicity, scent throw, burn time, and overall performance characteristics of your candle.
