Aloha Bay Scented Votives are made with an all – vegetable virgin wax blend that contains no residues of harmful solvents, otherwise known as Palm Wax. They burn hotter then most of the other candles on the markets because of the kind of wax Aloha Bay uses and the wicks that are braided cotton with paper cores. The surface of Palm Wax candles has a unique crystal pattern and brighter color.
