Study: Some Types of Candles May Pollute Indoor Air - Health News - Health.com

A recent study by the South Carolina State University indicated that burning paraffin candles can produce harmful carcinogens while soy candles and other natural candle waxes did not produce these toxins. Though soy candles are a bit more expensive, they burn longer and do not emit the toxic fumes that come from paraffin candles.

August Scent of the Month

The HeavenScent Soy Candle Scent of the month for August is Georgia Peach.

A sweet juicy peach, just like opening a can of peaches saturated in sugary nectar.

Relaxation with Candles

Candles are a great way to relax and unwind. The flicker of the flame and the scent of the candle can help to ease stress and help one to relax. Depending on the type of candle and the materials used, the intensity of the scent and the size of the candle flame will vary. This is due to the temperature at which the candle burns. The lower the temperature, the longer the candle will burn.

A candle that burns at a higher temperature does not necessarily produce a stronger scent. This is due to the fact that the scented oil itself may evaporate or burn away completely during the burning process. A candle that burns at a low even temperature will produce the best scent distribution evenly through a room. Soy Candles specifically, have a low burning temperature and an even scent distribution. Other natural waxes also have some of these same properties.

Another advantage to the soy candle's low burning temperature is that the all natural wax is not as hot as other candle waxes. Some people have used the melted wax as hand lotion once the candle is extinguished and slightly cooled. This is only possible with soy because it is an all natural wax that contains no chemicals.

So sit back, light a candle and relax.
