Why Do Some Of Our Natural Candles Have Slight Discoloration?

Why Do Some Of Our Natural Candles Have Slight Discoloration?

Natural ingredients can always impact the eventual color of your candles. Because clean and natural fragrance blends and essential oils often include ingredients like vanillin, citrus oils, and cinnamon that vary from batch to batch, you might find your candles discoloring. There’s nothing wrong with the candle itself—it’s just a common variable when using natural ingredients. The slight discoloration does not impact the way your candle burns or smells. 

To help reduce or eliminate discoloration, some companies add dye or inhibitors. At Agape, we strive to be all natural, non-toxic and eco friendly. That is why we do not use such chemicals to make the candle ‘perfectly white’. We believe that being all natural, can be imperfectly perfect.
