Sometimes we simply can\u2019t resist scented candles. If you catch yourself secretly eyeing scented candles in a store and thinking about which one to add to your collection this time, you should know that candle quality varies across all price ranges.

That\u2019s why, no matter where you buy your favorite scented candles, you should know how to choose good-quality ones.

Soy wax is known to be the highest-quality and most prestigious wax in the world of scented candles. You should know that many brands and manufacturers actually make candles from a mix of soy and paraffin wax to reduce their production costs.

If you want to be sure you\u2019re not bringing harmful substances into your home, it\u2019s time to learn a few tricks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Some candles that are marketed as soy candles contain a significant amount of paraffin wax. A simple way to check this is to touch the top of the candle and observe the wax.<\/p>

Paraffin wax is usually soft and translucent and feels slightly greasy under your fingers. Soy wax, on the other hand, is firmer and opaque.<\/p>

So the general rule is: the more soy wax a scented candle contains, the firmer it should feel to the touch.<\/p>

To do this test yourself, it\u2019s best to gently tap the candle\u2019s surface with your finger. If your finger sinks into the wax, it means the scented candle doesn\u2019t contain soy wax, or contains a much smaller percentage compared to paraffin wax. In very rare cases, this test may be inaccurate.<\/p>

From time to time, we hear stories of people complaining about headaches when using scented candles. It\u2019s often mistakenly believed that fragrance oils or perfumes in industrial candles cause this, but the real culprit is the evaporation of paraffin wax, a byproduct of petroleum processing.<\/p>

If you\u2019ve experienced this before, you\u2019ll notice a drastic difference when you use a high-quality candle instead.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Najbolji na\u010din da utvrdite da li je Va\u0161a sve\u0107a napravljena potpuno od prirodnog sojinog voska jeste da posmatrate njen vrh i strane ukoliko su vidljive.

The highest-quality soy candles<\/a> napravljene su od 100% sojinog voska bez sinteti\u010dkih dodataka. Iako ovi dodaci nisu neophodni, mnogi proizvo\u0111a\u010di i dalje me\u0161aju sojin vosak sa parafinskim voskom.

If a soy candle is near the end, quality candles still shouldn\u2019t produce smoke.\nLower-quality candles will leave soot and black residue on the glass near the top of the container.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Quality scented candles are made from 100% natural, non-GMO soy wax, without added synthetic or paraffin wax.

We are committed to ensuring our candles contain no chemicals under any circumstances\u2014we use only natural wax to make them.\nWe are not willing to make any compromises on this decision.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you truly love scented candles, this is a very important thing to always keep in mind.<\/p>

Paraffin wax is obtained as a byproduct of petroleum and gasoline processing. Its market price is quite low compared to natural plant waxes.
And that would all be fine\u2014if paraffin wax didn\u2019t contain toxins like toluene and benzene, which have been shown to be carcinogenic.\nIt has been scientifically proven that the flame of a scented candle does not reach a high enough temperature to burn off these particles, so unfortunately they end up in the air that we then breathe in.

This makes paraffin wax dangerous for health and the environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
