Miadrianel Candles Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I have this pic looks like palm wax or something but not sure. Quite sure is not paraffin...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Im not sure myself but wow, they are pretty! Hopefully some one who knows for sure will chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 It could be but no way to tell for sure from a picture. What concerns me more is the flammable coffee beans embedded in the side... Flammables even on the outsides of candles are a BAD IDEA! Many candles are recalled every year because of this issue...

Georgia Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Or they could be wax coffee bean embeds....My first thought was just marbled paraffin....with stuff stuck on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Or they could be wax coffee bean embeds....Right you are, Georgia. I can't tell if they are the real thing or wax from the photo.The wax doesn't look like 100% palm wax to me. It could be a blend of palm and soy or marbled paraffin as Georgia suggested. Without being able to examine the candle with my own eyes and feel it with my hands, etc., I can't do anything more than guess from the photo.

Miadrianel Candles Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Oh no those are real coffee beans I have seen them up close. About the wax at least it has to be a blend. Tbe lady that makes them talks about how she makes the paraffin "natural" with other waxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Tell the lady who makes them not to use coffee beans... she should try the wax embeds that Georgia was talking about. It looks like she's blended in some soy for sure and maybe palm too, depending on how hard it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
