why adding less is more..



I have been inspired recently to try and let my beautiful customers know more about my beautiful candles and why they are the best choice possible. A good starting point on this journey is to try and let you know why I don't offer some things in my candles. Something I get asked a lot about is triple scented candles, why aren't Lemon Canary Candles triple scented? 

Lemon Canary produces candles of the highest quality with the least toxic effect whilst still offering you the best possible product. However, there are some places I won't go, one of these is adding synthetic additives to 'triple scent'. These additives are made of polymer , they increase opacity and enhance colour, they allow the wax to hold more fragrance oil without the fragrance separating from the mixture, this enables the candlemaker to put twice or even three times as much fragrance oil into their mixture. This means that when using and burning these candles you are inhaling 3 x times more fragrance oil than a Lemon Canary candle and also the additional polymer.


Lemon Canary candles are scented with only the oil that the wax can hold naturally. There are no additional nasties or additives. Rest assured when you buy my candles you are buying ethically from a candle maker who would not sell a candle she wouldn't use around her home and children and who is passionate about her products.
