Reorient carries only soy wax candles. We offer these as a compliment to our Asian arts because we feel the emphasis on tranquility along with non-toxic environmental concerns are an important part of your home environment. Traditional paraffin wax is a petroleum by-product. While no significant health risks have been shown to result from the use of paraffin wax candles, we still feel it’s a bit out of sync with the times to be setting off little oil fires around the house. Soy wax is carbon free and burns clean. It also burns at a lower temperature so your luxury candle lasts longer and can take advantage of natural ingredients to create their rich bouquets. Oil based candles burn too hot for most natural scents to survive the heat and be released into the air where you can enjoy them. Scented paraffin wax candles typically use synthetic chemicals to create their aromas. These soy wax candles are an art of their own and we encourage you to sample their luxurious and relaxing fragrance.
