Wicks and Wax

What sets Gold Canyon apart from other candle manufacturers is the type of wicks and wax that are used in the products.

Wicks
As members of the National Candle Association, Gold Canyon promotes the use of environmentally safe wicks in all the candles it produces. Gold Canyon uses both zinc core and cotton wicks that are made in the USA with a safety collar on select sizes that extinguish automatically at the appropriate level.

Wax
Gold Canyon uses different high quality waxes based on the needs of our different candle lines. We use both food-grade paraffin wax as well as natural vegetable wax.

Food-Grade Paraffin Wax used in the majority of Gold Canyon’s candle products, paraffin comes from companies that manufacture food-grade paraffin as a primary product and from refineries as a by-product. Both resources provide varying degrees of quality.

Natural Vegetable Wax is a renewable resource made with all natural ingredients that provide a clean, even burn.

So, when you smell Gold Canyon Candles and think to yourself, "Gosh, it smells good enough to eat", know that if you get the urge to take a bite, it is not recommended, but it won't kill you! lol
