Candle with water in wax

1. A method for saving on wax used in producing and burning a candle, comprising:

producing a candle from a wax, wherein a dispersion of water droplets is purposely added within the wax as a replacement of wax by mass thereby saving on the wax used in producing the candle, wherein a reference candle is defined as a candle produced from the wax without addition of water droplets as a replacement of wax by mass, and wherein the candle produced with the water droplets and the reference candle burn at approximately equal burn rates, burn rate being defined as total mass loss of candle divided by burn time, and the candle produced with the water droplets burns less wax than the reference candle by an amount equal to said water droplets.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dispersion of water droplets is purposely added within the candle wax to replace candle wax by mass.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a reference candle is defined as a candle produced from the wax without addition of water droplets, and wherein grade points are allotted to the reference and water-containing candles as a function of burn rate, flame size, sputtering, flickering, excess smoke, wick clogging, and wick drowning, and wherein the grade points of the candle produced with the water droplets differ from the grade points of the reference candle in a range of 0-40%.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a reference candle is defined as a candle produced from the wax without addition of water droplets, and wherein grade points are allotted to the reference and water-containing candles as a function of burn rate, flame size, sputtering, flickering, excess smoke, wick clogging, and wick drowning, and wherein the grade points of the candle produced with the water droplets differ from the grade points of the reference candle in a range of 0-20%.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a reference candle is defined as a candle produced from the wax without addition of water droplets, and wherein grade points are allotted to the reference and water-containing candles as a function of burn rate, flame size, sputtering, flickering, excess smoke, wick clogging, and wick drowning, and wherein the grade points of the candle produced with the water droplets differ from the grade points of the reference candle in a range of 0-10%.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said water droplets are smaller than 500 microns.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said water droplets are smaller than 100 microns.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said water droplets are smaller than 50 microns.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said water droplets are smaller than 25 microns.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said water droplets are smaller than 10 microns.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said water droplets are smaller than 5 microns.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said water droplets are smaller than 1 micron.

13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said water droplets are added to the wax as a water-in-wax suspension.

14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said water droplets are added to the wax as a water-in-wax emulsion.

15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said water droplets are added to the wax as a water-in-wax dispersion.

16. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said candle comprises 0.1-50% water.

17. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said candle comprises 0.1-30% water.

18. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said candle comprises 0.1-20% water.
