Jelly wax scented candles are beloved for their crystal-clear, jewel-like appearance, but to perfectly showcase their beauty and function, certain environmental requirements apply.
Generally, they are best used in a stable, cool, and windless environment. Here are detailed specifications for the ideal environment:
1. Core Environmental Requirements: Temperature is Key
* Ideal Room Temperature: 18°C - 28°C is the optimal range. At this temperature, the jelly wax remains stable and solid; when lit, only the wax pool around the wick melts, preserving the overall
structure.
* Avoid High Temperatures:
* Absolutely Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Ultraviolet rays will cause jelly wax to fade and age, while the heat of sunlight will soften and deform it.
* Keep Away from Heat Sources: Do not place near radiators, heaters, or on top of electrical appliances.
* Never Leave in a Car: The extremely high temperatures inside a car in summer are a "graveyard" for jelly wax.
* Principle: As mentioned earlier, jelly wax has a low softening point; high temperatures will cause it to soften overall, leading to the wick sinking, the candle collapsing, or deforming.
2. Recommended Usage Scenarios
Jelly wax candles are best suited for indoor, stable environments, such as:
* Home Environments: Coffee table in the living room, bedside table in the bedroom, desk, bathroom (ensure ventilation and avoid direct water splashes).
* Commercial Spaces: Hotel reception, corner of a coffee shop, relaxation area in a spa, display case in a boutique (outside direct sunlight).
* Special Occasions: Dinner table, quiet reading corner, next to the bathtub, yoga meditation room.
3. Safety and Atmosphere Requirements
* Windless Environments:
* Reason: Jelly wax is soft and forms a deep wax pool when burned. In windy environments, the flame will flicker violently, causing uneven heating of the wax pool. This not only produces black
smoke but may also create dangerous "tunnels" on one side of the container, and may even cause melted wax to splash out, posing a safety hazard.
* Countermeasures: Close doors and windows, and keep away from vents, fans, and air conditioner vents. • Stable, fire-resistant surface:
• Candles must be placed on a non-flammable, flat surface, such as a ceramic tray, glass mat, or marble countertop.
• Ensure the placement is stable and will not be accidentally knocked over.
• Well-ventilated, but not drafty:
• The room needs some air circulation to ensure complete combustion and aroma diffusion, but direct drafts should be avoided.
Recommendations/Practice & Avoidable Environments
1. Stable room temperature of 18-25°C. Avoid direct sunlight, proximity to heaters, high-temperature car interiors, and windowsills (during the day).
2. Place on a flat, stable, non-flammable surface; trim the wick to 5-8 mm before use. Avoid uneven surfaces and proximity to flammable materials (such as paper or fabric); excessively long
wicks produce black smoke.
3. In a well-ventilated but windless indoor space. Avoid placing the candle directly opposite an air conditioner vent, near an open window (when there is wind), or directly in the airflow of a fan.
4. Burning time: Initial burning should last at least 1-2 hours, until the wax pool melts evenly to the edge of the container; each burning session should not exceed 4 hours. Avoid frequent short
burning sessions (which can create a memory ring) and prolonged unattended burning.
5. Storage: After extinguishing, cover the candle and store it in a cool, dry, and dark cabinet. Avoid storing in high-temperature, humid, or direct sunlight locations.
In short, imagine your jelly wax scented candle as a refined artist. Under suitable conditions, it can burn safely, release fragrance steadily, and bring out its crystal-clear beauty to the fullest,
adding a sense of tranquility and romance to your living space.
