That’s why GoodLight works with the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and GreenPalm, organizations that are pioneering sustainability in palm farming. GoodLight pays a premium to RSPO-certified growers who have implemented the most efficient and sustainable farming practices, and who believe in social responsibility and protecting native forests. They are also Contributing Members of 1% For The Planet, donating 1% of all of their revenues to non-profits combating climate change and global warming. Recently they partnered with Carbonfund.org to offset all of their carbon emissions by contributing to their reforestations and avoided deforestation projects. The result: GoodLight's offices, as well as all of their shipping, are now carbon-neutral! In addition... All GoodLight candles are paraffin-free, non-toxic, and clean burning. They use only 100% palm wax that contains no additives or blends. They only use cotton wicks containing no lead or zinc or other metals. All of their packaging is printed on recycled paper with soy-based inks. And they promise to give you the friendliest service in the candle industry! Frequently Asked Questions What is paraffin? Paraffin is basically the "bottom of the barrel" petroleum sludge that remains in oil refineries once every other product (jet fuel, gasoline, motor oil, etc.) has been extracted. It's a combustible waste material that is the primary ingredient for more than 90% of the world's candles. What is palm wax? Is it related to palm oil? Palm wax is basically a refined version of palm oil. Palm oil is derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree. One of many types of palm trees, the oil palm is the most efficient oil-producing plant in the world, yielding 4 - 10x more oil per acre than rapeseed or soy. This means that you can get a lot more oil out of a lot less land when you're growing palm trees, allowing more land elsewhere to be preserved. Palm is grown in tropical regions where rainfall is abundant, necessitating less irrigation than most crops. And instead of being an annual crop that needs to be mowed down every year (causing topsoil erosion), it’s a non-GMO tree that lives for 25 years on a plantation, producing one ripe bunch of fruit each month to be harvested; this makes it a rapidly renewable resource. I've heard that palm oil is related to rainforest destruction and wildlife habitat loss. Can you please explain how GoodLight is involved? Over the past few decades there has been some serious environmental degradation in Southeast Asia. Peat lands have been drained, forests have been bulldozed, wildlife habitat (especially that of the orangutan) has been lost, and communities have been displaced. As counter-intuitive as it may seem, the more GoodLight learned about this dark side of palm, the more compelled they felt to get involved. That’s because they saw an opportunity to make a difference. They don’t feel -as some of their fellow environmentalists do- that boycotting palm was or is a realistic way to effect a change. That's why GoodLight joined Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil and GreenPalm. Both initiatives promote sustainable farming practices, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility. They support the growth and use of certified sustain

Suggested Use: If burned properly, this pillar will burn for at least 30 hours. For best results, GoodLight pillars should be burned for at least 4 hours on the initial burn, and for at least 3 hours on subsequent burns. Shorter burn times can cause candle to tunnel. GoodLight pillars sometimes display fine cracks, creating a marbled look; this will not detract from burn quality. INGREDIENTS 100% palm wax, cotton wick. WARNINGS Trim wick to 1/4" before each burn. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Burn on a heat-resistant surface and keep away from flammable objects. To avoid tunneling and maximize burn time, burn your pillar candle for at least 3 hours at a time.
