bugtussle Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Interesting. So when they say "pure olive oil candle" it is sort of a play on words. It contains pure olive mixed with paraffin. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaroleI guess it is the same thing as soy candles. If there is at least 70% soy you can legally call it a soy candle. (I believe this is what I read on somewhere on the rules you have to follow on some soy advertisement site). You may even be able to say "made with 100% soy". I sure know I have seen this on candles that I know are not 100% soy. Not sure about the word "pure". I am afraid that it will have that smell to it, but maybe not. I may try it someday just for the heck of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSioux Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 As a consumer, I'd question the shelf life of an olive oil product. I also think olive oil has a rather distinct odor, so I'd worry about the scent getting buried. Now that I really think about it ... how much olive oil could they really be using, cause OO is quite expensive & it's really dense ... I would think it would really clog a wick. Seems like another marketing ploy that will further scramble the public's reality.BTW, Bug -- are you in party mode for WestFest? Do you have a booth? Have fun & grab a turkey leg for me!Susan.

Sharon in KY Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'm not sure it even has to have a certain amount of OO to say it is made with 100% OO just that it has pure OO in it. Make your own. Add some OO to either soy or paraffin. A label with " Olive Oil added for your good health ".... I'm kidding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Sharon, I don't think you have to be kidding. I don't think it matters how much "pure olive oil" is in your candle. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well guess I'll just have to add a bit of pure olive oil to my candles and test them out. Wonder if I can use canola instead LOL.It is getting insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circle Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I guess they add olive oil instead of Coconut oil, make your own would be best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
