Something You want to Know about Candles

What is the difference between 20 yuan and 2000 yuan aromatherapy candles?

Now many brands in the market are making aromatherapy candles, and the prices are very different. The difference in ingredients is a very important factor.

paraffin wax

In the large family of aromatic candles, paraffin is the most common, and because the cost is relatively low, even now, many aromatic candles still use paraffin as the main ingredient.

However, the melting point of paraffin is very high, which is relatively easy to produce black smoke, and the requirements for use methods are also higher.

Of course, it does not mean that paraffin is a poor-quality component. The progress of technology and refining methods also makes paraffin have higher quality.

Soybean wax

In addition to paraffin, soybean wax is also the mainstream ingredient of aromatic candles. Compared with paraffin, soybean wax is more resistant to burning, has a lower melting point, and has a much better combustion effect than paraffin. Compared with paraffin wax, soybean wax will not burn the skin even if it is accidentally dropped on the skin when burning.

In addition, many candles use soy wax and paraffin wax to make their fragrance more durable. If the wax drops down is very hot, the proportion of paraffin wax will be large.

Wax

It can be seen from the name that this wax is related to bees. Honey wax is extracted from the substances secreted by bees when they build their hives. It also has a faint honey fragrance. As the process is more exquisite and more burn-resistant, it will hardly produce black smoke. Because of this, the cost of wax is also more expensive. Many candles with higher quality come from wax.

Plant wax

The highest level of wax is plant wax, such as carnauba wax, sugarcane wax, and so on. The melting point is very low. Generally, candles using plant wax can reach more than 1000 yuan.

3 tips to turn you into a candle expert

Candles should burn for 1-3 hours

If you want the candle to remain flat and beautiful after burning, you must pay attention to the burning time of the candle. Candles have memories. Only when you make sure that the wax oil on the surface melts completely and a complete candle pool appears when you burn them for the first time can your candles not have a deep hole.

However, it is not good to burn for too long each time, which will affect the diffusion of the fragrance of the candle, and may cause black smoke, overheating, and other problems. Therefore, it is best to burn for 1-3 hours each time.

Save the candle pit with tin foil

If a pit has been burned, you can wrap the candle with tin foil paper 3-5cm higher than the candle cup, leaving a small hole for the candle to burn. Then burn the fragrance candle normally, and the surface of the candle will gradually become flat.

Buy a set of special candle tools

Ordinary lighters can't be used to light aromatic candles, which can easily lead to uneven burning on the surface of the candle, and as the candle burns to the bottom, the flame of the lighter can hardly touch the candle wick, and it is even easy to burn your hands.

Therefore, lighting candles requires special matches or igniters.

There are also special candle extinguishing tools for extinguishing candles. One is a candle extinguisher, you need to pour the candle wick into the candle solution and lift the candle wick at the moment of the flame extinguishment; The other is called the candle extinguishing cover, which directly covers the candle wick to isolate oxygen. It can cover the black smoke emitted during the period to avoid the scorching smell affecting the aroma of the house.

Finally, before lighting a candle, remember to trim the wick, leaving a length of 3-5mm. Long-term combustion will expose more candle wicks, resulting in a large flame surface. When the candle surface is heated unevenly, it will lead to black smoke and a peculiar smell, and will also accelerate the burning life of the candle.
