Can fragrances affect the colour of the wax?

Yes, they can. Fragrances can discolour finished products. There are minimum of 40+ ingredients used in fragrance manufacturing that may contribute to the discolouration of products. This is why some of our black candles may not be 100% black in colour, some may have a blue, green or grey tint

Are the fragrances pure essential oils?

No, they are not. Fragrances are made by using both a combination of natural and synthetic (manmade) ingredients. The cost of 100% Natural fragrance will be somewhere in the vicinity of $800 per kilo or more. As a result, it’s not feasible to sell natural fragrance candles. Many of the ones you see listed on the internet, may not be 100% natural fragrances. And if they are, they are likely to contain Palm Oil, which has its own global use issues due to deforestation and the effects this has on the natural habitants like the orangutang species.

Anything that is 100% natural will typically be quite volatile and therefore you will need to use less and your end products will not be as strong. Many 100% natural ingredients have higher levels of warnings associated with using them in combustion applications like candles.

Are your fragrances triple scented?

Yes, they are. This relates to how a fragrance is formulated with top notes, middles notes and base notes. Being triple scented does not mean adding 3 times the amount of fragrance.
