This type of product not only emphasizes the health concepts of "natural", "non-toxic" and "environmentally friendly", but also integrates the aromatherapy effects of plant essential oils, which can calm and relax and regulate emotions while enjoying the fragrance.
1. What are natural essential oil aromatherapy Candles?
Natural essential oil aromatherapy Candles refer to aromatherapy candles made from natural plant waxes (such as soy wax, coconut wax, beeswax, etc.) and added with pure natural plant essential oils (Essential Oils). Unlike traditional paraffin candles or synthetic Scented Candles, this type of product focuses on environmental health and aromatherapy effects:
Plant origin: does not contain petrochemical ingredients or synthetic fragrances;
Pure essential oil fragrance: no artificial fragrance is added, exuding a real natural smell;
Low smoke and environmentally friendly combustion: more friendly to people, pets and the environment.
Its essential oil components are usually extracted by distillation or cold pressing, retaining the volatile aromatic compounds of the plant, such as: lavender, citrus, eucalyptus, cedar, geranium, ylang-ylang, etc.
2. Core features of natural essential oil Scented Candles (including professional data)
1. Natural wax base: non-toxic, low-carbon combustion is more environmentally friendly
The comparison of common wax materials and data is as follows:
Wax type Melting point (°C) Burning time (230g) Is it environmentally friendly Features
Soy wax 45~52 40~50 hours Yes Plant-derived, clean burning
Beeswax 62~65 35~45 hours Yes With a light honey fragrance, antibacterial
Coconut wax 38~42 50~60 hours Yes Good aroma transmission, soft texture
Paraffin (comparison) 55~60 30~40 hours No May produce black smoke and harmful substances
Natural plant wax releases very low particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) when burning, which is more suitable for long-term indoor use and biodegradable.
2. Essential oil purity ≥ 98%, significant aromatherapy effect
Natural essential oils come from plant flowers, leaves, resins and other parts, and their efficacy has been widely recognized by the aromatherapy community. Common essential oil effects are as follows:
Essential oil type Content ratio (recommended) Aromatherapy effect
Lavender 2~4% Relaxation and sleep, relieve anxiety
Eucalyptus 1.5~3% Fresh air, antibacterial and antiviral
Sweet orange 2~3% Boost mood, relieve depression
Patchouli 1~2% Rich earthy flavor, stabilize emotions
Geranium 1.5~2.5% Regulate hormones, relieve tension
Most high-quality candle brands control the proportion of essential oil addition within the range of 2~5%, which can not only ensure the stable release of fragrance, but also ensure that the essential oil does not overheat and decompose.
3. No synthetic fragrances, no phthalates, formaldehyde or benzene pollutants
High-quality natural candle formulas should meet the following standards:
IFRA certified essential oil formula: does not irritate the respiratory system;
No synthetic fragrances, dyes, stabilizers added;
No paraffin, phthalates, formaldehyde and other potential carcinogens;
Environmentally friendly packaging: use recyclable glass bottles, aluminum cans and cartons.
Experimental data show that compared with paraffin candles, natural wax + essential oil candles reduce PM2.5 emissions by 85%, which is more friendly to infants and pets.
4. Fragrance release in layers, more natural fragrance retention time
Natural essential oils are slowly released through the combustion process to form a "triple fragrance" structure:
Top notes: light molecules such as citrus and mint are released first, refreshing and invigorating;
Middle notes: soft floral scents such as lavender and rose diffuse;
Base notes: woody scents such as cedar and vetiver last longer, which is reassuring.
The diffusion range is usually 20~50㎡, suitable for bedrooms, study rooms, yoga rooms and other spaces.

IV. Usage and maintenance recommendations
Correct usage method
Please burn for more than 2 hours for the first use to ensure that the surface is completely melted to avoid the formation of wax pits;
Each burning time should be controlled within 1~3 hours to avoid overheating of the wax surface and decomposition of the essential oil;
Cut the candle wick to 5~8mm before use to make the flame more stable and avoid black smoke;
Keep away from wind sources and combustibles when lighting, and ensure that the candlestick is stable;
To extinguish the candle, you can use a candle cover or tool to press it out to avoid blowing out smoke.
Daily maintenance and storage
Avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment (>30°C) to prevent the wax body from deteriorating;
Cover the candle cover or use a sealed bag to prevent the essential oil from volatilizing;
It is recommended to refrigerate when not in use for a long time;
If the fragrance is weakened during use, you can gently stir the surface wax liquid to improve the volatilization efficiency.
