Colored candles throughout the ages
The history of candle dyes dates back to the dawn of civilization. In their early days, candles were simple cylinders of natural waxes such as beeswax, which provided light but lacked the expression of color.
It was only with time and the evolution of candle making that colorants entered the scene to add a touch of creativity and personalization.
For centuries, candle dyes were made from natural ingredients: pigments extracted from plants and minerals. However, this process was limited in terms of color variety and often produced dull tones.
Modern dyes: variety and ease of application
Today, colorants have undergone a revolution thanks to the introduction of modern forms such as microspheres, flakes and pellets. These innovations have increased both the strength and simplicity of colorant addition.
Color microspheres, flakes and pellets offer superior heat resistance and ease of use. Microspheres are tiny particles that disperse evenly in the melted wax, ensuring even color distribution.
Flakes and pellets, on the other hand, allow precise dosing and effortless mixing in all raw materials: paraffin, soy wax, stearic acid (vegetable stearin) or transparent gelatin, among others.
Our dyes not only provide a wide range of colors and shades, but also ensure that the color of the candle remains vibrant even after hours of burning. This is essential for decorative and scented candles.
Color therapy theory: the effect of color
Color therapy, also known as chromotherapy, is a practice that claims that colors can have an impact on people’s emotional and physical health. According to this theory, each color has unique properties.
White candle dye is used to lighten and accentuate other colors. When mixed with other pigments, it acts as a modifier, softening tones and creating a broader color palette.
For example, if a soft pastel shade is desired, the use of a white colorant along with a more intense color allows the desired delicacy to be achieved. This is essential for creating pastel shades that promote relaxation.
