Yellow candle dye

History of candle dyes

The history of candle dyes dates back to ancient times, when the Egyptian and Roman civilizations experimented with mineral and vegetable pigments to dye the natural waxes they used in candle making. 

Over the centuries, this practice expanded, and in the Middle Ages, natural waxes were mixed with dyes imported from various regions, while in the Renaissance, the dyes used became more elaborate and varied. 

The Industrial Revolution marked a crucial milestone, as it introduced synthetic dyes that revolutionized the range of colors and shades available for candles.

Resistance and ease of use of modern dyes

Today, candle manufacturing has undergone a remarkable evolution thanks to technological advances. Our dyes are designed with exceptional resistance to maintain their color intensity throughout the entire candle production and burning process. 

This ensures that the candles maintain their original splendor, regardless of the base raw material: paraffin, soy wax, stearic acid (vegetable stearin) or transparent gelatin.

Our formats include microspheres, flakes and pellets, which facilitate handling and mixing with the candle base. Its versatility permits uniform color distribution, which is essential for the creation of high quality candles with long-lasting and vibrant colors.

Color Therapy Theory: The Influence of Colors

Color therapy, also known as chromotherapy, is a practice that uses colors to influence emotional and mental wellbeing. Each color has a unique effect on the mind and body. The choice of candle color can have a profound impact on the ambiance and mood.

Color therapy theory asserts that colors can influence our emotions and energy. For example, the color yellow is commonly associated with joy, mental stimulation and creativity. Lighting a yellow candle can help create an energizing and optimistic atmosphere, making it a perfect choice for spaces where inspiration and positivity are needed.
