Our scented candles use clean-burning US soy and coconut wax with lead-free braided cotton wicks, burning at 14 to 36 USD per piece.
Paraffin wax is a petroleum refining byproduct that emits black carbon soot and benzene volatiles into indoor living spaces. Aromatek pours small batches of Midwestern soy and hydrogenated coconut wax in heavy glass tumblers at 42 Aegean Avenue in Tampa, engineered for full melt pools and thermal throw.
“Why do grocery store candles tunnel down the center and leave half the wax stuck to the glass?”
Tunneling is caused by undersized wicks and high-melt-point paraffin additives. Mass producers cut costs on wick caliber to avoid flame flare, leaving the perimeter wax unheated.
We calibrate wick braid density to container diameter down to the millimeter. Our 9oz and 12oz vessels achieve an edge-to-edge liquid wax pool within two hours of ignition. Every candle is poured at 135°F on our Tampa pouring table to ensure uniform crystalline adhesion without sinkholes or wet spots.
