Soy Candle Scents: Your Secret Self-Care Weapon
Choosing the right soy candle scents can transform your self-care routine. Unlike synthetic candles, Flamewood’s vegan soy wax in coconut shells delivers pure aromatherapy benefits – from lavender’s relaxation to citrus’ energy boost. Discover how scent science elevates wellbeing.
This is why:
A whiff of lavender can drop your heart rate by 9% (2018 UCLA study)
Citrus scents increase alertness more effectively than caffeine (Journal of Environmental Psychology)
The Flamewood Difference:
Our 100% natural soy wax burns at lower temperatures than paraffin, releasing fragrance molecules intact without toxic byproducts – meaning real aromatherapy benefits, not just pleasant smells.
