Natural and Essential Oils vs. Synthetic Fragrances in Candles

In the world of scented candles, the choice of fragrance isn't just about the scent.. it's also about the source. At LEWA Candle Company, we believe in the power of natural and essential oils, which is why our candles are crafted using only these pure ingredients. Let's explore the differences between synthetic fragrances, natural fragrances, and essential oils, and why we've made the conscious choice to use the latter in our products.

Synthetic Fragrances:
Synthetic fragrances are created in a laboratory, often using a combination of chemicals. While they can mimic the scent of natural ingredients, they don't offer the same benefits. Synthetic fragrances can be a source of concern for some people due to potential health risks associated with the chemicals used in their production. They can also lack the complexity and depth of natural fragrances.
Natural Fragrances:
Natural fragrances are derived from plant or animal sources. They can be extracted through various methods, such as cold pressing or steam distillation. Natural fragrances offer a more authentic scent experience and can have aromatherapy benefits. However, it's important to note that not all natural fragrances are equal, as some may still contain synthetic compounds. 
Essential Oils:
Essential oils are pure extracts from plants, obtained through a distillation process. They are highly concentrated and contain the essence of the plant, including its aroma and beneficial properties. Essential oils are known for their therapeutic effects and are often used in aromatherapy. When used in candles, they offer a natural and holistic scent experience.
At LEWA Candle Company, we believe in the power of nature. We choose to use only natural and essential oils in our candles because we value the purity and authenticity they bring. To ensure the purity of our fragrances, we carefully review the manufacturing processes used to extract the fragrances, looking for any potential synthetic additives. So, our candles are free from synthetic fragrances and harmful chemicals, ensuring a clean and natural burning experience. We believe that the use of natural and essential oils not only creates a superior scent but also promotes well-being and mindfulness.
The choice between synthetic fragrances, natural fragrances, and essential oils is more than just a matter of scent preference. It's about choosing ingredients that align with your values and beliefs. At LEWA Candle Company, we choose to embrace the natural world and harness its beauty in our products. We invite you to experience the difference that natural and essential oils can make in your candle burning experience.
