Today we'd like to do a shout out to Dana O., who won our August giveaway. She chose as her prize a Mango Papaya and a Rosemary & Mint candle, and enjoyed them so much she offered to write a review. 

To learn more about our company and our products, please take the opportunity to read her post on Cheers to Novelty. There's a special giveaway at the end! (Please note, giveaway ends midnight October 8th.) 

New to The Columbia Fragrance Co. are our massage candles! Hand poured from all natural soy wax, sweet almond oil, and shea butter, each candle contains an essential oil of your choice to calm, relax, or motivate you!

To use, light the wick and allow a melt pool to develop into a lotion (approximately 20 minutes). When you have enough lotion, extinguish the flame. Either by pouring from one of the corners of the tin or by dipping your fingers into the oil, begin to work the lotion into the skin as you would any massage oil. 

Soy wax melts at 101 degress, amazingly close to body temperature, so as long as the flame is extinguished, there is no fear for burning. 

Currently, the following essential oils are available: 

Bergamot - lively, inspiring, uplifting
Eucalyptus - activating, vitalizing, energizing
Lavender - soothing, normalizing, balancing
Lavender & Sage - soothing, normalizing, balancing, focusing, stimulating, 
Rosemary & Mint - purifying, uplifting, revitalizing, invigorating, cooling

Our candles are made from a custom blend of paraffin and soy waxes. Why? We love scented candles, and frankly, paraffin holds and emits fragrance at a higher level than soy's capability. Also, we love the colors of our candles, and paraffin also holds color better than soy.

It's important to note that, according to the National Candle Association, all types of quality waxes available burn cleanly and no wax, including paraffin, is toxic. Most paraffin waxes manufactured in the United States are actually food grade waxes which have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. 

Paraffin wax is indeed a by-product of petroleum as it is refined for gasoline. So, as American continues its love affair with the freedom associated with the automobile, paraffin will always be available for use as an ingredient for candle-making! 

True, soy wax is created from renewable products. But I challenge you to think about how soy wax is created - with gasoline-powered tractors cultivating and harvesting our soybean crops!

Many choices are available to you in your home fragrance options. And we hope that if you enjoy highly scented products, you continue to turn to us for your home fragrance needs.
