A New Look in Candles
We have a new candle company: Root Candles. These candles are made in the USA in Ohio. They are a combination of an all natural blend of beeswax, soy wax and other sustainable waxes. Root dinner candles are designed to burn without dripping, under proper burning conditions. You will find that they burn very slowly and will last up to 50% longer than ordinary dinner candles. There is a wide variety of designer colors in both a smooth, solid color finish and a textured finish which softens the color.
