JI Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm trying to get a health grocery store to carry my candles. I use 100% soy wax (444, GB) and fragrance oils from candle science. No additives, no dye. CS has high quality and as I am sure you know, they are augmented with essential oils.Can I rightfully call my candles "vegan"? I don't want to call it that if it's not. Just want your opinion. I put an email into candlescience and they said that their EO are obviously plant derived and their fragrance oils are of course a combo of artificial, and natural EOs. They didn't think they were derived from animals. Let me know what you think! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb426 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 You have to check out the wick coating also. Some wick waxes include stearin which can be animal based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JI Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Good thought on wicking. Candlescience told me I can promote them as "vegan friendly". Guess I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
