Rapeseed wax is hardened vegetable oil and is cultivated in Europe and even in the Netherlands. It is a bright yellow flowering plant from the mustard or cabbage family that is often grown on fallow land, without pesticides. Especially as a soil improver in crop rotation, rapeseed enriches the soil structure through humus formation, after which subsequent harvests have a better yield. Moreover, rapeseed is beneficial for biodiversity because this richly flowering plant also serves as food for bees and other insects. So it's a local product and a sustainable alternative to paraffin candles!
Rapeseed wax dissolves in warm water, stains are easy to wash out.
These rapeseed wax dinner candles are a perfect match with the Fixum candle holder by Floris Hovers.
