The idyllic concept of candles is shattered by the shocking statistics that accompany their charm.  Paraffin wax is a bi-product of the oil refining process.  Have you ever noticed the black smoke rising from a candle's flame, or the build up on a glass votive?  How about soot on a car engine?  Parrafin wax emits toxins that are as toxic as outdoor pollution and second-hand smoke!  In essence, we have all been burning our lives away under the guise of creating ambiance and beauty.  Many of us are familiar with standard in-door toxins including oil, gas, wood, kerosene, tobacco, and household cleaning products.  What many do not know is that candles ranked amongst the most unrecognized causes of indoor air pollution according to the Health House Project in association with the American Lung Association.

Carlesimo candles are hand poured in Los Angeles combining 100%, all natural soy wax with the highest quality fragrances ensuring scented candles that release stronger aromas for longer periods of time.  In fact, the 9 oz. M. Carlesimo candle burns for up to 60 hours while the average 7 oz candle yields merely 40 hours of burn time.
