Wood Wick Candles
QUESTION:
I received one for Christmas. I was told they are made of Soy and Pariffin and the wick is organic wood. Are the safe ?

DEBRA'S ANSWER:
I hadn't heard of this product before, so I looked it up. It was easy to find by typing "wood wick candle" into a search engine.
The idea behind this candle is that it has a thin piece of wood for the wick instead of fiber, so it makes a crackling sound like a burning fire in a fireplace.
But the candles themselves are still paraffin with artificial fragrance. And from what I can tell from the ads, they look to be highly scented.
I'd stick with the natural candles I've listed at Debra's List: Interior Decorating: Candles.
