SADDLEBACK LEATHER SELA SCENTS NATURAL COCONUT WAX CANDLESTHE STORYTim, the brother-in-law of Saddleback Leather Co. founders Dave and Suzette Munson, has always loved candles. He also loves spending time with his niece, Sela. So they started making candles together in Tim's garage as a fun way to spend time together. Sela sold a few of the candles so she could send some money to a couple of the little girls she sponsors in Rwanda. And just like that, Sela Scents was born. Through the tinkering process, Tim developed an incredible, proprietary, clean-burning, coconut oil-based, dye-free wax. Sela picks the scents and helps when she can. Tim does the heavy lifting with the wax blending and pouring.HEALTHIEST CANDLE ON EARTH1. HEALTHIEST INGREDIENTS - Sela Scents Candles are made with a healthy 90% blend of cooking grade coconut oil and coconut waxes with the remaining 10% made up of soy wax, beeswax and other natural waxes.2. HEALTHIEST WICKS - Our wicks are the highest quality, all cotton wicks encased in natural wax that release a minimal amount of smoke unlike cheap wicks in low quality candles.3. BURNS EVENLY - Ever notice how cheap candles burn down through the middle of a candle leaving lots of wax along the sides? This is called tunneling and is a hallmark sign of a cheap candle. Sela Scents candles burn evenly all the way to the bottomDANGERS OF PARAFFIN WAX (PETROLEUM WAX) CANDLES - Paraffin wax is a derivative of the oil refining process. It's made from the sludge leftover in the bottom of a barrel of oil. The sludge is taken and bleached with 100% strength bleach (household bleach is only 10% strength), adding dangerous, unhealthy dioxins to the wax. More unhealthy chemicals are added in the final step of the process to solidify the wax into blocks. The end result is a carcinogen-laden block of cheap candle wax that is especially unhealthy for those suffering with allergies or asthma when burned.
