Scented Candles

Scented candles are very similar to un-scented candles. Tyler Candles are a well-made, properly burning candle, both scented and non-scented, produces harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide. Reputable candle manufacturers like Tyler Candle Company carefully formulate their scented candles with the appropriate amount of fragrance, and use only fragrances specifically approved for candle use. Research and a proven history support the safety of scented candles when burned properly and as instructed by the manufacturer.

Scented candles range from traditional vanilla and bayberry scents to spicy cinnamon, flowery jasmine and exotic scents, such as ginger. Tyler Candle fragrances generally are a combination of natural and synthetic materials, the same safe, high-quality ingredients found in many popular consumer items, such as perfumes, soaps, shampoos, or personal-care products. Candle manufacturers select from an estimated 500 to 800 aroma chemicals and essential oils that are compatible with the chemistry of candle combustion, along with the candle wax and candle wicks.

Most of the millions of Americans who use scented candles have positive responses. But, just as some people are allergic to certain foods, flowers or plants, it is possible that a handful of consumers may react negatively to certain candle scents.

The National Candle Association recommends that consumers with known fragrance sensitivities or allergies avoid purchasing candles featuring those scents, and always remember to burn candles in a well-ventilated room.
