A Look At The Different Waxes Used To Make Scented Candles
Scented candles – as well as most home fragrance products - are used by most people these days. One reason for this is that they are to be found in a enormous array of colours, designs not to mention aromas. But what most consumers probably do not know is that the candles they pick up in the local shop, specialist retailer or online store are made out of a number | of different types of wax.
A lot of scented candles are made from a choice of preblended waxes, which include paraffin wax and stearic acid, while others are made using soya wax. One of the most important things about choosing wax for candle making is that the wax itself does not give off any visible smoke while it is lit and that the wax is also odourless , or as close as it can be, so as not to interfere in any way with the scent of the candle. The undernoted are some of the most popular types of wax used today for creating scented candles
Paraffin Wax: this wax is obtained from oil . Paraffin waxes with a higher melting point are often used for creating pillar candles, perfect for a candle stick, while those with a lower melting point are better suited to jar or container candles. Paraffin wax is is not as poipular as it once was among luxury candle manufacturers because it emits dirty soot and debris while burning, does not come from a renewable resource and also because it burns quite quickly and does not hold fragrance very well.
Beeswax: Candle manufacturers have made use of beeswax for a long time and is probably the first of the refined waxes to be used for this purpose , when it replaced crude candles created from tallow or animal fats. Unfortunately, compared to paraffin wax and even soy wax, beeswax is quite expensive and this has restricted its use in making scented candles to luxury brands such as companies like true grace candlesor yankee candles. In fact, in the majority of instances beeswax is not used on its own but in fact is combined with other waxes to give an individual mixture, which helps reduce the speed at which the candle burns , thereby making them better value for money. It is extracted from honeycombs and burns somewhat rapidly but also very cleanly and holds its fragrance extremely well which after all is the whole point when you are talking about scented candles.
So you will see from the above that the type of wax your scented candles are created from can have a large bearing on the performance of the candle. Check the label next time you are buying scented candles and be certain you know what you are buying. If you can go for soy wax or beeswax but also remember that triple milled paraffin wax can also produce very clean candles with good fragrance throw.
