World’s First Natural-based, Crystal Clear Palm Wax Candles

PRLog (Press Release) - May 20, 2011 - Naperville, IL (May 12, 2011)   The last significant candle wax development was the invention of soy wax candles almost 20 years ago which took the candle market by storm - but this is a whole new ball of wax.  Kristal™ taper candles utilize an innovative candle technology, a clear wax made using natural palm oils.  The introduction of a natural-based clear wax is another step in the evolution of candle fuels away from those based on petroleum products to more environmentally friendly solutions.

Kristal™ tapers are the world’s first clear taper candles and each is as unique as a snowflake. One can clearly see the cotton wick running up the center of the candle through the transparent wax. Tiny air bubbles coming from the wicks and hand-decorated grooves in the sides of the candles ensure that no candle is exactly the same as another.  

“These candles provide a truly spectacular luminary experience,” says Wayfarer Candle Company owner Mike Peek. “Not only do they burn incredibly clean with a brilliant, steady flame, but they are also the brightest burning candles on the market.  Where traditional waxes block the light of the flame, the clear palm wax acts like a fiber optic cable, allowing the light of the flame to shine through the body of the candle.”   As the wick burns, the candle itself glows with the light of the flame.

A great example of American innovation and entrepreneurship, clear palm wax has been 10 years in the making.  Kristal™ candle technology is protected by two U.S. and multiple international patents.  The only other clear candles available in the market today are gel candles, which are made using a combination of mineral oil and a plastic polymer resin.  Unlike Kristal™ candles, gel candles cannot be formed into freestanding candles because of their jello-like consistency.

These elegant and intriguing candles add a touch of class and style to any tabletop.  They are perfect for that special dinner for two, dinner parties with friends, holiday gatherings, weddings, table centerpieces for special events, or just a stylish way to show off beautiful candles holders every day.

Drea Gunness, owner of Nashville-based Flashpoint Candles specializing in decorative custom candles for home décor and events, commented, “Kristal™ candles are perfect for all sorts of occasions.  It’s very “in” right now to use clear chairs and tables for events; and Kristal tapers are the perfect compliment to a beautiful candleholder or chandelier. Why use ordinary candles in an extraordinary setting?”

Kristal™ candles are manufactured in the United States and are distributed exclusively by the Wayfarer Candle Company of Naperville, IL.
