Aloha Bay has been manufacturing in the US since 1993, when it was known as Bright Lights Candle Company. Bright Lights was the first to introduce a new generation of scented, vegetable palm oil candles to the US market. They are the largest U.S. manufacturer of vegetable wax candles. Their research indicates they have the broadest selection of vegetable wax products in the gift industry: tapers, tea lights, votives, and a half dozen jar candles (Chakra Jars, Highly Fragranced Deco Jars and Trip Lights, etc.). They also have the widest selection of colors, fragrances and unscented products. Palm Wax™ Candles is really a different looking line from anything out there. With its crystallized finish, it adds a new dimension to the home market. Aloha Bay candles are competitively priced with paraffin and soy candles, burn longer, contain higher concentrations of pure essential oil fragrances, throw more fragrance into a room, and have a lower propensity to soot. Their 100% Aloha Bay pure essential oil candles are a healthy alternative to filling a room full of synthetic fragrances.
