In recent years, candles adorned with petals have become a popular trend. While these decorative elements can add an aesthetic appeal, they come with a set of hidden dangers that consumers are unaware of.
LOLA prioritizes safety and that's why we choose to avoid adding any botanical into our candles. Let's explore the potential risks.
FIRE HAZARD:
Petals, particularly dried ones, are highly flammable. When embedded in wax, they can catch fire as the candle burns leading to uncontrollable flames that can easily spread beyond the candle's container. Review the following consumer reports:
SMOKE AND SOOT
Burning organic materials like petals can produce excessive soot and smoke. This not only diminishes air quality but also leads to blackened walls and ceilings over time.
CHEMICAL REACTIONS
Some petals might contain natural oils or chemicals that when burned, can release harmful substances into the air. This is especially concerning for individuals with respiratory issues or allergies.
While the aesthetic appeal of petals is undeniable, it's essential to prioritize safely. Here are some tips to ensure your candle remains safe and enjoyable:
CHOOSE PLAIN CANDLES:
Opt for candles without any embedded objects. There are plenty of beautifully scented and coloured candles that don't pose any risk. Take a look at LOLA's collection.
At LOLA, safety is our first concern. By choosing candles wisely you can enjoy the beauty and tranquility of candlelight without compromising your safety or health.
