How Do Candles Release Scent?

Candles that have been created with a fragrance added release scent when the wax is heated. This happens when the candle has been lit and the heat melts the wax and allows the fragrance to disperse into the air.  This process ensures that the aroma is evenly distributed throughout the space, creating that the strong fragrance you can smell!

 

Benefits of Using Coconut Wax Candles

When it comes to candles, not all wax is created equal. At Oh My Melt we take it up a notch with our use of coconut wax. Why is it so special? Coconut wax burns cleaner and longer than traditional paraffin wax, emitting less soot and toxins into the air. Plus, it's a renewable resource, making it an eco-conscious choice for the environmentally aware candle enthusiast.

 

Benefits of Wooden Wick Candles vs. Traditional Wick Candles

Ever wonder about those crackling sounds in some candles? They're often the result of wooden wicks. Wooden wick candles, like those created by Oh My Melt, offer a unique sensory experience with their gentle crackle and extended burn time. Compared to traditional cotton wicks, wooden wicks are less likely to mushroom or create a sooty mess.

How Are Candles Made?

The art of candle-making is a blend of science and creativity. Candles are typically made by melting wax, adding fragrance or color, and then pouring the mixture into molds. The choice of wax type, wick, fragrance, and container all contribute to the final product's appearance and performance.

 

When Candles Burn, Where Does the Wax Go?

As candles burn, you might wonder, where does all that wax disappear to? The wax doesn't vanish; it's transformed into heat and light energy. The wax is drawn up the wick and vaporized, creating the mesmerizing flame and the delightful scent that fills the air.

 

Which Candles Smell the Strongest?

When it comes to finding candles with the most potent fragrances, Oh My Melt shines. Their scented candles are carefully crafted to deliver an exceptional aroma experience. The use of premium fragrance oils ensures that your space will be filled with captivating scents that linger long after the candle is extinguished.

 

Problems with Paraffin Wax Candles vs. Natural Wax Candles

While paraffin wax candles are common, they come with their fair share of issues. Paraffin is a byproduct of petroleum, and burning paraffin candles can release harmful toxins like benzene and toluene into the air. In contrast, natural waxes like coconut wax, often used by Oh My Melt, are a safer and cleaner alternative.

 

Why Coconut Wax Is the Best Type of Candle to Burn

Coconut wax has emerged as the preferred choice for many candle enthusiasts, and for good reason. It's biodegradable, renewable, and produces a clean burn. Coconut wax candles, like those from Oh My Melt, not only offer an eco-friendly option but also ensure a longer-lasting and more fragrant candle experience.

In conclusion, candles are more than just sources of light; they are gateways to relaxation, ambiance, and fragrance. With brands like Oh My Melt leading the way in innovation and sustainability, enjoying candles has never been better. So, light up your space, indulge in captivating scents, and choose coconut wax for a clean, eco-conscious, and delightful candle-burning experience.
