Soylites Soy candles are scented with only pure essential oils. We do not compromise the quality of our candles by using synthetic fragrances. Some candle companies will make all kinds of padded claims that the fragrances they use in their candles are ‘safe’ and have been approved by various regulatory agencies. However, the fact remains that any synthetic fragrances are chemically manipulated and will always be inferior in quality to pure essential oils. We take pride in the fact that the essential oils we use in our candles are not disguised as ‘natural’ for the sake of reducing costs. When burning Soylites candles you will receive all the aromatherapy benefits of pure essential oils. Our soy is an excellent ‘holding’ medium for essential oils and also has an excellent scent throw. The room in which the candles burns will be filled with a delightful scent that is a pleasure to enjoy and is never overpowering.

- The direct application of essential oils at low dilutions (such as that found in our candles) onto a person’s skin is harmless. In fact the essentail oils we use in our candle have various and individual benefits for the user. Should you have very sensitive skin then test the oil from the candle on a small part of your body. Should redness or irritation occur then discontinue use.

- Pregnant woman should never apply a scented candle onto their bodies in the first trimester. We also recommend avoiding using scented candles for the remainder of the pregnancy ie: the second and third trimester. Our preganacy candle is a blend of soy, coconut and shea butter – unscented. There are however some proffessionals who maintain that certain oils, such as lavender, present no risk to pregnant ladies after the first trimester. It is perfectly safe and beneficial for pregnant ladies to burn our candles for ambiance and an aromathery treat.
