EUCALYPTUS SCENTED HANDMADE NATURAL PALM WAX PILLAR CANDLE

A handmade natural palm wax pillar candle can 

be the perfect gift during the cold and flu season. 

This is especially true for a natural palm wax 

pillar candle scented with the fragrance Eucalyptus. 

The aromatic natural palm wax pillar candle is

 3 inches in diameter, 4 1/2 inches tall and weighs

 approximately one pound. In this candle, I 

combined premium Eucalyptus candle fragrance 

oil with a pure natural Eucalyptus essential oil and 

added the 50/50 blend to the natural palm wax at

 a level equal to 6% of the total wax weight. This is

 the maximum recommended by the manufacturer. 

During cold and flu season, this candle can make 

breathing much more comfortable for some people. 

You see, the koala bear is not the only mammal 

that craves this aromatic leaf and its oil. People

 love this scent also, for opening up sinuses and

 clearing a stuffy head during the cold and flu season.

 The hot and cold scent throw is very good. After 

lighting the candle, the fragrance will find it way 

into every corner of a small room. The rich lime

 green color of this candle combines with the 

silvery lime green surface crystal formations 

common to this very special premium natural 

palm wax pillar blend. 

Palm wax is excellent for making pillars. The 

candles will burn with no soot or smoke, and 

longer than similar size paraffin candles. I love 

the unique surface features characteristic for 

this type of wax. Each candle is one of a kind 

with its fine detailed surface crystal patterns. 

When burning a palm wax pillar keep the wick 

centered within the candle diameter and burn 

no more than 2 – 2 1/2 hours at a time for a 

3 inch diameter candle. Allow the candle to 

cool then trim the wick to approximately 3/16 

to 1/4 inches if needed. Since the wicks I use 

are engineered to self trim I recommend 

trimming only when absolutely necessary.  

A wall will remain as the candle burns down 

allowing the light from the flame to produce 

an interesting effect as it shines through the 

crystal laden walls and candle body. 

Eventually as the candle burns down the walls 

will slowly erode leaving little waste. Any unburned 

wax can be used in a wax heater and the 

wonderful aromas will continue for those of you 

wanting to get 100% use from your natural palm

 wax pillar candle purchase. I use this candle in my

 indoor studio (back room) where I package, 

and wrap candles. 

The candle works great for me when I get a 

"stuffy" nose.  It gently opens up my sinuses. I

 think the candle is sweeter and not as harsh 

smelling with this 50/50 blend. 

Stop by my store and look at this candle and my 

other candles. There is a great deal to see.
