Can scented candles be used often?
The scented candles with safe ingredients can be used with confidence. The composition of scented candles is essential oil + wax.
1. Essential oils
There are many brands of essential oils, such as those used more frequently in the aromatherapy industry: Givaudan in Switzerland, Firmenich in Switzerland, and International Aromatherapy Fragrance Company in the United States. These three brands account for 60% of the market. In particular, the two Swiss brands are both hundreds of years old and have their own very strong R&D teams and laboratories. The essential oils produced are all certified by IFRA and RIFM, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. And the fragrance is very close to nature, the smell is pure and round, the fragrance made by using such essential oils has a very good smell, and you will not be afraid of it for a long time.
2. Ingredients
The wax materials for making aromatherapy are basically soybean wax, coconut wax, and beeswax. They are all natural hydrocarbons. Burning will only produce carbon dioxide and water, which are harmless to human health and very safe. There are also scented candles made of paraffin, like Yankees in the United States. In fact, there are many kinds of paraffin wax, such as food grade, first grade, and second grade. Many women use lipsticks that contain paraffin wax and are edible. Although paraffin is extracted from petroleum, it is very safe as long as it is refined and purified. But the crudely purified paraffin wax will contain sulfides, heavy metals, etc., burning will produce black smoke, which is harmful to the human body.
When choosing scented candles, as long as you carefully look at the material ingredients: essential oils look for major brands, and wax materials to avoid inferior products are very safe and can be used with confidence.
