Vegan Candles?
When I saw this, I thought, "What the heck?" :D
Candles made from soy wax. Ok. I suppose... Makes sense.
What about bees wax? No that is not vegan because it comes from the by-product of an animal. Bees.
Of course animal fat or wax from butter or mucus definitely not vegan.
What about modern industrial candles? Made from crude oil? (Petroleum) Like plastic and gasoline, diesel, ...etc
Hmm, even though most oil and coal and tar over millions and hundreds of hundreds of millions of years was made mostly from plants, much of it also combined for example amoebas (non vegan) and many other animals and insects etc that got into the mix. So petroleum candles and Vaseline, etc, not vegan.
So ok,
In conclusion, Soy wax candles are "Vegan".
