Violet candle dye

Since ancient times, people have not only used candles as a means of illumination, but also for their aesthetic value. In the beginning, candles were made of natural waxes and their color was determined mainly by the ingredients used in their manufacture.

However, as time went by, their decorative aspect became more and more important, and candles began to be dyed with different elements.

The history of candle dyes dates back to ancient times, when the Egyptian and Roman cultures began experimenting with dyeing beeswax and other natural waxes with pigments of mineral and vegetable origin.

With the advance of technology and trade in the Middle Ages, dyes imported from different regions came into use and by the Renaissance, the use of more elaborate and varied dyes became popular.

The emergence of synthetic dyes during the Industrial Revolution led to an explosion of color and shade options.

Modern candle dyes

Today, there are a variety of techniques and products for dyeing candles, resulting in a wide range of colors and visual effects.

Modern candle dyes are easy to use, have great coloring power and are formulated to resist degradation during the candle manufacturing and burning process. This ensures intense and long-lasting colors.

Our candle dyes are used to color paraffin, soy wax, stearic acid (vegetable stearin) or transparent gelatin, among others.

Their presentation in microspheres, pellet or flakes formats makes them easy to mix with the base product to obtain a uniform color distribution.

The power of color

In a competitive market, presenting eye-catching, quality products has become a distinct advantage. The use of colorants in candles opens the door to a dimension that can offer great value to customers.

Color therapy, also known as chromotherapy, is a practice that uses colors to promote wellbeing. Each color has a different effect on the body and mind. In the case of candles, color therapy can be used to create environments that promote relaxation, energy, creativity or emotional balance.

Violet is associated with spirituality, intuition and transmutation. When the color violet is incorporated into candles, it can be used to create an atmosphere of meditation and calm, which encourages spiritual connection and self-awareness. What’s more, violet can be an ally in purification and emotional balance, helping to relieve stress and anxiety.
