Because scented candles are related to fire.
Depending on how you use it, it can cause fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
It is also important to check the raw material of the candle and choose one that is safe before purchase, as it absorbs the ingredients of the candle with the scent.
Today, I will introduce you to five precautions you must take when using aroma scented candles.

3-1. Beware of the packaging attached to the candle!
Many of the aroma scented candles on the market are wrapped in transparent plastic packaging, so you may forget to peel off the packaging, so be careful.
If you forget, the packaging will also be burned, which could contaminate the air with toxic substances from the packaging. To prevent this, take the body of the aromatic candle out of the holder or case before use, and check the bottom of the candle to remove the packaging!
3-2. CAUTION OF MATERIALS OF VESSOR OR HOLDER If you only purchase aroma scented candles, make sure that the material of the holder or pedestal used at home is heat resistant. Most of the Aroma scented candle-only holders on the market are heat-resistant, but it is important to be careful when using dishes or glasses from home as holders.
For example, some heat-resistant glasses can't withstand long periods of use depending on the thickness or size of the glass. Even if placed on a glass plate with the confidence of heat resistance, the glass may be broken or part of the floor may burn due to the inability to withstand the heat of the candle. For safe use of aroma scented candles, we recommend using a container or holder dedicated to aroma scented candles.
3-4. Indoor ventilation is mandatory! When using aroma scented candles, make sure that fresh air is ventilated inside. It is better to use in rooms with windows or ventilators.
This is because oxygen is needed to maintain the flame of the candle, so if you continue to use aroma scented candles without venting, you may become oxygen-deficient and cause carbon monoxide poisoning. The standard of ventilation time varies depending on the size of the room, but it is recommended to ventilate the room by opening the window once every 30 minutes in the bathroom or small space and once every 2 hours in the case of a large room. 3-5. Let's check material of the candle! From oil to 100% natural, there are a wide variety of scented candles on the market, so choose the scented candles of the best quality possible.
Because aroma scented candles are absorbed together with various ingredients of scented candles when burned, so using products based on oil or artificial flavors is a health concern. For this reason, it is recommended to use high-quality aroma scented candles made of natural ingredients. Typical natural waxes of scented candles include Bizwax, Palmwax, and Soy wax. And even day's natural eco-oil is famous for having no harmful ingredients because it is completely burned with liquid-flavored plants made from liquefied natural gas oil. As for the ingredients of scent, it is recommended to make it based on essential oils made by refining plants. Products using natural materials must be checked when purchasing, and scented candles should be purchased with confidence.
