Why is a candle of almost the same style or amount of wax priced differently?
Candles are priced based on a variety of factors such as glass, wax composition and fragrance prices. Also, the production time involved. Like all other products, they may be re-priced at time of production due to market fluctuations.
Do scented candles produce more soot than unscented candles?
Not really. The oils found in certain fragrances may slightly increase the small amount of soot produced by a candle, but wick length and flame disturbance are the primary factors that impact sooting in a properly-formulated candle.
Are scented candles safe?
Yes. When a candle burns, the wax is drawn into the wick, where it is "consumed" by the candle flame to produce water vapor and carbon dioxide. The only difference with a scented candle is that a small amount of fragrance is released as well.
What should I know about using candles safely?
