Much less waste, smell wonderful and don't leave the black soot that regular candles do. My cat got a fair amount on her tail yesterday and I was wondering how to get it off? I use vinegar to clean up the small crumbs I make when breaking the tops off to put into the wax pool but don't know about cleaning it off her tail. Can you help please?

Does this company ensure that their product does not inflict serious environmental damage? "Indonesia has achieved its goal of becoming one of the two largest palm-oil producers and exporters in the world. But at what cost? At least half of the world’s wild orangutans have disappeared in the last 20 years; biologically viable populations of orangutans have been radically reduced in size and number; and 80 percent of the orangutan habitat has either been depopulated or totally destroyed. The trend shows no sign of abating: government maps of future planned land use show more of the same, on an increasing scale." ::New York Times Some palm oils are healthy and habitat-destruction free, but how can you tell?
