Soy wax is a type of natural wax derived from soybean oil. It is a popular alternative to traditional paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum. Soy wax is created by hydrogenating soybean oil, which converts it into a solid form suitable for candle-making.
Here are some key features and benefits of soy wax:
1. Renewable and Sustainable: Soy wax is made from a renewable resource – soybeans. This makes it a more environmentally friendly choice compared to paraffin candles, which are made from fossil fuels.
2. Biodegradable: Soy wax is biodegradable, meaning it can break down naturally without causing harm to the environment.
3. Clean Burning: Soy wax candles tend to burn more cleanly and produce minimal soot, reducing indoor air pollution.
4. Longer Lasting: Soy wax candles typically have a longer burn time compared to paraffin candles of the same size.
5. Better Scent Throw: Soy wax has a superior ability to hold and release fragrance oils, resulting in a stronger and more consistent scent throw when the candle is lit.
6. Easy Cleanup: Spills or drips from soy wax candles can be cleaned up with soap and water, as soy wax is water-soluble.
7. Supports Farmers: The production of soy wax supports farmers who grow soybeans, contributing to local economies.
Due to these benefits and its natural origins, soy wax has gained popularity among eco-conscious consumers and those seeking a cleaner and more sustainable candle option.
An aroma stone, also known as a scent stone or aromatherapy stone, is a small and porous object used to diffuse the fragrance of essential oils or fragrance oils into the surrounding air. It is typically made from materials like ceramic, terra cotta, soapstone, or other natural porous substances that have the ability to absorb and hold onto liquid.
We use plaster to make all our aroma stones.
The concept behind an aroma stone is quite simple: you apply a few drops of your chosen essential oil or fragrance oil onto the surface of the stone, and the porous nature of the material allows it to absorb the liquid. Once the oil is absorbed, the aroma stone slowly releases the scent into the air, filling the room with a pleasant fragrance.
Aroma stones are a popular and natural way to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy without the need for electricity or open flames, making them a safe option for scenting small spaces like closets, drawers, bathrooms, or your desk at work. They are also used as decorative pieces, as they come in various shapes, sizes, and designs that can complement your home decor.
To refresh the scent, you can add more drops of essential oil whenever needed. Aroma stones are reusable and easy to maintain, providing a subtle and long-lasting aroma in your living spaces. They are favored by those who prefer a more subtle and continuous scent compared to the instant, strong burst of fragrance that comes from burning candles or using electric diffusers.
Using an aroma stone is a simple and effective way to enjoy the soothing scents of essential oils or fragrance oils in your living space. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use an aroma stone:
1. Select Your Aroma Stone: Choose an aroma stone that suits your preferences and complements your decor. Aroma stones come in various shapes, sizes.
2. Choose Aromatic Oils: Decide on the fragrance oils you want to use.
3. Prepare the Aroma Stone: Before adding the oils, make sure the aroma stone is clean and free from any residue.
4. Add Essential Oils or Fragrance Oils: Place a few drops of your chosen oils onto the surface of the aroma stone. Start with a small amount, as you can always add more later if you desire a stronger scent.
5. Let it Absorb: Allow the aroma stone to absorb the oils for a few minutes. The porous nature of the plaster will absorb the oils, releasing the aroma gradually over time.
6. Choose a Location: Decide where you want to place the aroma stone. Common locations include your living room, bedroom, bathroom, or office space. Make sure it's on a stable surface and away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
7. Enjoy the Aroma: Once the oils are absorbed, the aroma stone will slowly release the scent into the air. The fragrance will gently spread throughout the room, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere.
8. Refresh the Scent: If you want to change the scent or if the aroma starts to fade, you can simply add a few more drops of fragrance oils to the stone.
9. Store Properly: When not in use, store the aroma stone in a cool and dry place to preserve its aroma-absorbing properties and extend its lifespan.
Remember that aroma stones are meant for ambient scenting and might not produce as strong a scent as diffusers or candles. However, they offer a natural and subtle way to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy and create a comforting environment in your home or workspace.
