In a few years, the use of soy wax Candles in Cape Town and the practice of aromatherapy have found their way into civilization. These have been united in the form of Soy Wax candles. Soy wax was invented in 1992. Before then, scent candles using essential oils basically did not exist. After the clean-burning soy wax Candles Cape Town became popular, scent soy wax candles were born and have continued to grow in popularity since their inception.
Why is it so important to use soy wax for aromatherapy candles? Why is soy wax better than classic 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 using paraffin in conjunction with essential oils in scent candles, harmful chemicals are released into the air along with the aroma. These petroleum-based chemicals contradict the natural healing properties of the natural essential oils that make aromatherapy candles so effective. On top of that, burning paraffin is thought to release carcinogens into the air.
When you burn aromatherapy soy candles, petro-carbon soot is not released into the air. Soy Wax Candles Cape Town burns cleaner and also much cooler than paraffin wax, so when the essential oils are released into the air, they are not contaminated or overheated, thus interrupting the artificial properties that give essential oils their healing power.
The main benefit of burning a scent soy wax candle as compared to a paraffin candle infused with essential oils is the scent throw of soy wax. The scent throw is basically how a candle releases fragrance into the air, its effectiveness in releasing that fragrance, how much fragrance is released, and how long it stays in the air. If a candle is said to have a strong scent throw that simply means a lot of scents is released into the air.
A major factor that affects the scent throw of a particular wax is the melting point and temperature at which that wax burns. Paraffin wax burns much hotter than Soy Wax Candles - up to 30 to 40 degrees hotter. This means that the fragrance is released more quickly. However, because of the cooler burning temperature of soy wax, the aroma is released slowly and consistently and stays in the air longer than it does with paraffin.
Why burn aromatherapy soy wax candles?
1. 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.
2. As compared to other waxes, soy wax burns much cooler. Because of this, it has a more consistent scent throw for a long-lasting experience.
3. Because soy wax burns much longer than paraffin, it actually ends up being cheaper to use and much more cost-effective.
