Use Soy Wax For Essential Oil Candles
Soy wax has grown in popularity over the last decade. Aromatherapy has also been gaining more interest in the past 20 years. So why not bring the two together? United, we have aromatherapy soy candles. Before soy wax came on the scene in the early 90's, there was really no practical and effective aromatherapy candle. In the past decade, aromatherapy soy candles have become extremely popular and are being used by millions throughout the world.
You might ask why it is so important to use soy wax for aromatherapy candles as opposed to the traditional paraffin.
First of all, what is aromatherapy? Generally speaking, it is the use of aroma to aid in emotional, psychological and physical well being. In this case however, and more specifically, aromatherapy is the use of the aroma of essential oils to assist in dealing with many emotional and physical ailments.
When you use paraffin as a medium to disperse these essential oils into the air, you are also dispersing the chemicals contained in the paraffin itself, which many consider to be harmful. The petro-carbon soot produced from paraffin and the carcinogens that are released into the air disrupt the healing properties of these delicate essential oils, in effect, contaminating the aroma.
In contrast, burning soy wax in conjunction with essential oil candles does not result in the release of petro-carbon soot or carcinogens into the air. Soy wax burn clean and does not interfere with the natural healing power of the essential oils. It just makes sense to use a clean burning wax with natural essential oil candles.
Another benefit of using soy wax with aromatherapy candles as opposed to paraffin is that soy wax has a better scent throw. That is to say that the aroma is dispersed into the air more effectively and efficiently. The scent throw of paraffin is not as consistent as that of soy wax, which disperses the fragrance more evenly over the period of time that it is burned. With paraffin, you can often have throws of a lot of fragrance and throws of only a little.
Soy wax burns cooler, which has a dramatic effect on the way in which an aromatherapy soy candle throws the scent. Because the melted wax is much cooler than paraffin, the release of essential oils is steadier and more long lasting. A soy candle may take a bit longer to release its fragrance into the air, but the result is cleaner since the soy wax does not interfere with the scent of the fragrance as well as longer lasting.
So then, why is it better to burn aromatherapy soy candles?
- Soy wax is a clean burning wax and does not disrupt the natural healing power of the aroma of the essential oils that are released into the air.
- Soy wax, compared to paraffin wax, has a much cooler melting point. This causes it to have a better, more consistent and effective scent throw.
- Because soy wax burns much longer than paraffin, it actually ends up being cheaper to use and much more cost effective.
