The next time you’re shopping for taper candles, look for a material called stearin wax. In the past, stearin wax was derived from beef, and was not vegetarian-friendly, but today it comes from all-natural, plant-based renewable sources. The stearin wax looks like traditional white paraffin candles, but it burns cleanly, slowly and is an affordable eco-friendly choice. Megastores like IKEA are a good place to score these green candles.
