At Lukata Candles, we take pride in creating candles that not only fill your space with captivating aromas but also look beautiful in your home. While fragrance and design are key elements, there's another aspect that candle enthusiasts might notice—wax color. This is particularly true for our pillar candles, where the wax color can be more noticeable than in jar candles.
The Influence of Fragrance Oils on Wax Color
We use only natural waxes like coconut and rapeseed wax to create our candles. These waxes are naturally more off-white or creamy rather than pure white, and they bring their own unique shades to the candles. However, when we introduce fragrance oils into the mix, the color can change even further.
Many of the premium fragrance oils we use at Lukata contain natural essential oils, which can introduce different hues to the wax. For example, a fragrance oil with vanilla or certain floral extracts might have a slight yellow or amber tint, while oils with more woodsy or earthy notes could lean towards light browns or greens.
Why Is This More Noticeable in Pillar Candles?
For jar candles, the wax is usually enclosed in a container, making it less obvious if the wax has a slightly different shade. On the other hand, pillar candles are free-standing, and their color is more exposed, making any variations in wax color more apparent.
Striving for a Beautiful Balance
At Lukata, we aim to create candles that are as visually pleasing as they are fragrant. While we do our best to achieve a consistent and appealing color, our commitment to using natural, high-quality ingredients sometimes means accepting that slight variations in color are part of the process. These variations are a testament to the natural and premium ingredients we use, ensuring that every candle is unique.
So, when you choose a Lukata pillar candle, you're not just getting a source of beautiful light and fragrance; you're also bringing a little piece of nature into your home. And while the color might vary slightly, the quality and care we put into each candle never will.
We hope this gives you a better understanding of how fragrance oils can impact the color of our candles. Thank you for supporting natural, hand-poured candles—each one crafted with love and attention to detail.
