Aromatherapy Candles are absolutely beautiful! Not to mention they look and smell divine. But there are certain things you need to know before purchasing them. A lot of the candles you see in the shops may have a label printed with aromatherapy candle and advertise natural ingredients but most often than not these candles couldn't be further than the truth. They are made with synthetic products and paraffin wax and also most use fragrance oil not true essential oils.

When purchasing Aromatherapy Candles always check the label for the following:
"Made With 100% Natural Ingredients"
"Contains No Synthetic Ingredients"
"Fragranced Exclusively With Essential Oils
"Made Exclusively With Soy or Palm Wax"
"Contains No Fragrance Oils"
"Paraffin Wax Free"

And Paraffin Wax?
Paraffin Wax is a by product of petroleum. It is made from the leftover black sludge from the petroleum refinery. It is bleached white with 100% strength bleach then processed into solid paraffin with other carcinogenic and solidifying chemicals. And there you have paraffin wax.

When choosing a scent of an Aromatherapy Candle be sure to choose one suited to whatever your need may be. For calming, relaxation, headaches or purely just because you like it! Also remember they won't have a very strong smell. That's because the aroma of the Essential Oils gets released when its burning.
