We live in a technologically advanced society that now uses the harsh light of the electric light bulb to illuminate our nights, but no light can create the warmth and atmosphere that fragranced candlelight does. Manufacturers today can create a wide range of candles in great numbers, meaning that you can buy wholesale candles at a good price.
For centuries essential oils have been added to candle wax to create a soft light that brings the added pleasure of a delicate fragrance to any space. Calming and gently soothing, these natural fragrances have been known to man for ages past. Modern science has used our technology to create synthetically synthesized fragrances to mimic these scents, derived from toxic substances and petrochemicals.
Do not be fooled into thinking that wholesale candles contain cheap synthetic reproductions of natural fragrances. Quantity does not always mean a lowering of quality and candle manufacturers take great pride in delivering a superior product that will provide you with hours of fragranced light.
Whether you want a special ambience for a dinner party or are planning a romantic candle lit dinner for two, scented candles are a must have accessory. These scented oils release their aroma when they are subjected to a heat source, such as candle light and they imbue the air with their unique natural scent. A great variety of fragrances are available, ranging from lavender, rose, peppermint, citronella, ylang ylang and others.
Synthetic fragrances are derived from petroleum, using various toxic derivatives like aldehydes and benzene. Many of these chemicals are known to cause cancer, birth defects and nervous system disorders. Many people suffer allergic reactions to them. When you burn a candle that is scented with a synthetic fragrance, these toxins are released into the air.
Rather choose to purchase wholesale candles that are fragranced with naturally occurring oils that have their origins in the berries, seeds, bark and fruits of naturally aromatic plant derivatives. Not only to the have a superior fragrance but they have no toxic side effects when heated. Essential oils have long been used to promote therapeutic effects like relaxation and any lay person knows that a simple herb like lavender has been used for centuries to promote peaceful sleep.
To improve the quality of their candles, some manufacturers will add naturally scented oils to the synthetic fragrances to strengthen the fragrance and for a longer shelf life. They may promote their products as containing pure essential oils, but they also contain harmful carcinogens. Be aware when purchasing candles that you check the ingredients on the labels before buying.
Choose real essential oils over synthetic fragrances to ensure that you enjoy the uplifting fragrance of a candle that has been manufactured with natural ingredients. This is akin to spending an afternoon in a fragrant meadow when compared to trying to enjoy a luncheon while inhaling the noxious exhaust fumes of passing cars on a busy road. The choice is really quite an obvious one. Natural beats synthetic any day! Why breathe in toxic chemicals when you can breathe in the scent of soothing fragrances derived from plants like lavender, roses and patchouli.
