| | wicks | We use different wicks. For the tea lights, a pre-waxed cotton wick with an tin base that ensures that the candle burns completely. The wax of the wick is probably paraffin wax (we haven't received any exact information yet) with a weight share of approx. 0.1% for the whole candle. We have also experimented with beeswax pre-waxed wicks and found that the flame is too big and too hot, so we do not use it. Now one could theoretically also use an unwaxed cotton wick for tea lights, but this does not work well during production: The wick is put through the candle after the casting, this is impossible with a soft cotton thread of approx. 1 mm thickness.
For our table candles we use pure cotton wicks without any pre-growth.
