Birthday Candle Market

Birthday Candle: Introduction

• Birthday candles are short, slight taper candles made from nontoxic paraffin wax that are safe even if they drip onto the frosting. Paraffin wax candles are made from a petroleum byproduct. Paraffin wax candles that are not manufactured in adherence to prescribed regulations are often harmful for health; however, a completely safe alternative to paraffin wax birthday candles is pure beeswax birthday candles. Beeswax burns clearly and is naturally healthier. These candles are not made from processed synthetic ingredients and are virtually dripless.
