More and more people are looking for environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional products - and candles are no exception. Rapeseed wax candles have gained popularity in recent years as they are a sustainable and natural option. In this blog post, we take you on a fascinating journey and show you how rapeseed wax candles are created and made.
The formation of rapeseed wax
Rapeseed wax is extracted from the seeds of the rapeseed (Brassica napus), a plant that has been cultivated for centuries to produce oil. The rapeseed flowers are not only beautiful to look at, but also an important source of food for bees. Rapeseed grains are usually harvested between July and August. The seeds are then pressed to extract the crude oil. The oil is then converted into rapeseed wax through refining and hydrogenation.
Why rapeseed wax candles?
Rapeseed wax candles are a more environmentally friendly choice compared to traditional paraffin candles. Here are some of the reasons why more and more people are switching to rapeseed wax candles:
- Sustainability: Rapeseed is a renewable resource and can be easily grown. In addition, growing rapeseed helps maintain soil quality and improve crop rotation.
- Biodegradable: Rapeseed wax is biodegradable and burns cleaner than paraffin wax, producing less soot and pollutants.
- Longer burn time: Rapeseed wax candles have a longer burn time than paraffin candles, making them a more cost-effective choice.
