This is a company that strongly promotes beeswax at every turn, then dilutes their beeswax with paraffin. Also, the title says "unscented", this is not true and smells very strongly of bad perfume, no specific essential oils listed. This lack of transparency is really what gets 1 star, be honest about what you're exposing people to with your products. If you use real healthy ingredients you don't have to hide them. At this price point, I expected a lot better. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most Excellent Candles *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2020* I have been looking for some quality candles for years, and always been disappointed until today. Color me totally impressed... Root makes their candles the " Traditional " and " Old Fashioned " way.. This is exactly what I wanted.. I have even made mine own candles from scratch prepared and blended waxes, so I know a bit about them. I really like that these are not made with paraffin or tallow as well, and that they take time... in making them so they burn down smoothly, without smell, or smoke, or needing to be trimmed. The 7/8" size base is odd for me since all of my candle holders for tapers are of more traditional size with the exception of my antique Edwardian bronze stick.These candles may be Ridiculously expensive and TG I caught what I needed when it was on sale, but I do not regret my purchase one bit. I really like that I can see the dip rings just like tree rings.. This is an absolute sign of care in production...The candles are also definitely and very smoothly colored all the way through. I do not burn candles very often any more, but definitely demand quality when I do. My lungs are a bit sensitive these days, so any candle with paraffin in it stinks to me and causes me to be sensitive. The the blend of natural waxes Root uses was appealing because of this.. There is absolutely no discernible smell of any consequence and neither do they bother my lungs, like most other candles.Thank you Root, for continuing to make " Quali'tay " Traditional candles like I have always known all of my life.. I will use your products from now on.. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely candles *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2021* The candles look as advertised. The texture on them is nice for my antique candelabra, slick, shiny ones would not be as attractive.*** The labels are terrible! There is adhesive all the way around the candles. It is very difficult to start peeling it off and while pulling it lifts the texture. Fortunately, the texture can be gently pushed back down. RECOMMENDATION FOR SELLER: Save money and just use tape to attach the labels. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/52985142-root-candles8240-unscented-smooth-arista-12-inch-dinner-candles-12](https://www.desertcart.us/products/52985142-root-candles8240-unscented-smooth-arista-12-inch-dinner-candles-12) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
