Candle dyes have been essential elements in candle making throughout history. From the earliest traces of candles, dating back to ancient Rome, to the scented and decorative candles of today.
The history of candle dyes dates back to ancient times, when candles were primitive and made primarily from beeswax or animal fat.
In their earliest forms, candles came in a natural shade, since the dyes we use today were not yet known. The first colorants were natural and were obtained from vegetable and mineral sources. For example, saffron was used to obtain a bright yellow tone, while turquoise was used to obtain a soft blue.
With industrialization and the advent of paraffin as a candle-making material in the 19th century, a new world of possibilities opened up for colorants. Paraffin lends itself very well to the addition of dyes. This allowed a wide range of colors and shades to be added to candles, making them a popular decorative element.
With the progress made in chemistry and technology, modern candle dyes have undergone a revolution. Colorants are no longer limited to powders or liquids; they can now be found in forms such as microspheres, flakes and pellets. These new formats offer significant advantages in terms of strength and ease of use.
Colored microspheres are small solid particles that mix easily with melted wax. Their uniform size and their ability to disperse homogeneously in the wax ensure consistent coloration throughout the candle.
Colored flakes and pellets are other innovations in the world of candle colorants. These formats allow for more precise dispensing, resulting in greater customization of candle tones and shades.
The heat resistance of these modern colorants ensures that the candles maintain their beauty regardless of the raw material they are made of: paraffin, soy wax, stearic acid (vegetable stearin) or transparent gelatin.
Color therapy theory asserts that colors can influence our health and wellbeing. According to this theory, each color has specific properties and can influence our mood.
The color blue is believed to have calming and relaxing properties. It is used in color therapy to relieve stress, anxiety and promote mental tranquility.
