Let’s go organic! This is one line we hear so often these days. From food to beauty products, the organic wave has been doing the rounds for quite some time now. But do we actually understand organic? Do we really know why such a transition is imminent? I’m sure most of us will nod a no to these questions. It’s not because we don’t want to know, it’s because there has never been a need for knowing.
It hasn’t been long since the term ‘organic’ started catching up among the youth and the old alike. It’s nothing but anything which has very limited or no artificial constituents – as simple as that. Now, what is fueling this movement? We read daily in the newspapers about how multinationals (with the obvious desire to make filthy profits), let inferior synthetic substances creep into their production formulae. In the past decade there have been numerous exposés of this nature. The average informed individual has by now gathered that it is best to avoid such companies and most companies at large. So where do they go? Thus arrived the organic revolution.
Now, as mentioned, this subtle but definite move away from ‘inorganic’ products has been seen across many product categories. While it’s only common sense to know that food industry is its biggest contributor, it’s not easy to estimate how much territory the organic way of life has covered. Organic candles, have you heard of them?
Traditionally candles are made with paraffin, a byproduct of petroleum and the wick is usually made of cotton, though a lot of variants have seen daylight. But these have been known to give off bad smoke and soot. Haven’t you seen those black patches on your ceilings? Yeah, so came along ‘organic candles’. One can never be sure whether such an innovation was necessary, but it does no harm alright. It actually does well to the environment. They say organic candles give off around 90 percent less soot and also burn 50 times longer than the average candle. That’s just wonderful isn’t it? Maybe even better than a chocolate fountain!
Organic soy candle is the latest superstar in the organic lineup. But again, while organic soy is certainly organic, organic soy candles need not be! They may still have synthetic additives to finally make it a candle. But it’s worth a try; if it helps you do your bit for the environment.
Check out some cool organic soy candles at Lumia Organic. And do a fair amount of research if you really want it the organic way, because there is a lot out there.
