Advent calendar door 19
That’s why her homemade candles crackle
Door number 19 smells of homemade candles - created by young entrepreneur Alexandra Blaßnig.
Because Alexandra Blaßnig could not tolerate the scent of commercially available industrial candles, she came up with the idea of making her own candles. And from natural materials. "I want to create awareness with my environmentally friendly candles. You wouldn't believe how harmful candles can be for your health," Blaßnig wants to warn people.
For the wax, the 25-year-old uses German rapeseed wax and "not soy wax, which has to be imported from far away." And even the wick of her candles is homemade. "My boyfriend helps me with that. The wick is made of wood," reveals the Keutschach native.
"And that's what causes the crackling when the candles burn - hence my company name Knisterglas," explains the young entrepreneur. The Carinthian now has 18 different varieties. "But each fragrance is chosen deliberately and very carefully."
